Just a thought...

Recently went along to the MX5 Spring Rally at Margam park and went on an organised run through the Brecons and along the Reservoirs, it's great run and the views are stunning (some great photo opps).

I should still have the printout of directions of the run in the car and would be great to organise a run with the club around the area, some great country roads :D

In total the run is 100 miles from Margam Park along and then back so it's quite a lenthy drive but well worth it, any7one up for a meet and run for the day stopping somewhere for a pub lunch????

Hi Ryan, Good idea mate. I was thinking about a meet to bridge the gap between Japfest and JAE - though some Taffs might be going to Japshow at Santa Pod.

Anyone else interested???

Off the top off head can't remember route...

Come off M4 at J40, turn right and then left and it goes through the twisty brecon pass, comes down the other end through a couple of villages and then along a couple of reservoirs, some very narrow roads on the run but nothing OTT apart from great scenary....

Was putting it up as an idea to see how many were interested :D

The Big Pit's in Blaenavon...And should be open for Breakfast's..

Aswell as being a FREE 'Deep' coal mine,there's acres of carpark..

I for one wouldn't mine another trip down the mine before we set off??

Hay-on-Wye..Book capitol of the world!..Beautiful place,again with a couple of large carparks...

Llanthony Priory...Mostly ruined Abbey right at the base of the Black Mountains..With a Underground bar/restaurant....One of the most beautfull spots in the whole of Wales... :thumbsup:

Over Hay Bluff...The road used at the start of The Antiques Roadshow[you know 2CV with Granfather clock sticking out of the roof]...Stop at top and have an Ice cream..Admire the AMAZING views and get a few pictures off..

Then back to Abergavenny..Along the A465 passing through some small villages on the way to Hereford...

PHEWWWW. THIS IS A REALLY SCENIC RUN SO BRING YOUR CAMERAS... :group-cuddles:

No apologies for taking over I'm never online anymore which is why I didn't post any further info...

Jun 26th sounds cool as it's half way between JapShow and Santa Pod, I better get the instructions out and post them up for people...

If your meeting at Big Pit can there be a stop off at Cardiff Gate services for those living closer to that location :D
