Sounds good to me. Will be taking it a bit slow 'cause I'm still running in (as I've said a hundred times :P) Can only just realistically make 60mph. If I'll slow you down too much then just say and I'll make the next one. Where and when meet if I'm not too slow :)?
Alex
how about asda caerphilly 1.30pm?
go up throught ystrad, nelson merthyr, brecon, llandovery, abergavenny than home ( 120miles) could miss out llandovery to save time

To be honest, I'd rather miss Llandovery as I'm not sure I can handle that much! Will we be travelling on the A465?

Anyway that the A465 can be avoided? Not hugely confident going on that road just yet.
Alex
errrrrr...... i dont think so?, as its the main road from merthyr to abergaveny.
my first ever atempt at google maps, but i think its pretty close?

I'm seriously tempted but my mother isn't happy with it :( (One of the pains about still living with the parents!) She wants me to get a few more local miles first. Sorry about that, mate. Will have to make another. Sorry again.
