Anyone in Cheltenham today fancy driving to Tintern this afternoon? The A466 seems like it would be a really nice road to drive on with some twisty bits and nice scenery. Theres a nice pub there and the Tintern Abbey.

Thats a great drive and not part of tomorrows route unfortunately, as the road is partially closed just south of Tintern due to rock fall work. (You'll be ok in very small groups)
but we'd never get 50+ cars through numerous temporary road work stretches

Yeah, I checked the planned route on Google Maps to see what to expect, then exploring a bit more found the A466 which I quite liked, but even on Street View I saw a couple of road works along it.

Nice looking Zed! It seems I'm not the only one who spent a lot of time cleaning and polishing. :D

Thought my Z would be looking spotless for Sunday, but I parked in front of the AirB&B I rented in Cheltenham, 5 minutes after unloading the boot I come out to find some idiot managed to crash on the side of my rear bumper and left no note...
