abergavenny to merthyr?

[hovis]

is this the heads of the vally road?

just planning a route, is it any good? or would i be better going via pontypool, newbridge, meas-y-cwmer, caerphilly, nelson etc?

HOV is a shizzle road. If going from aber to merthyr it's quickest but dangerous and bad if stuck behind lorry.

[hovis]

sorry, im not down with your gangster rap

shizzle is good or bad.


its for the TT i need to get from venny to merthyr

[thefallenangel]

bad. If it gets misty to it can be horrible. But go for it. I cant come up with alt route.

i dont think i have been on the HOV, but been told its crap.

[blue curvy jester]

can be fuggin quick, can be fuggin dangerous and a very boring (did it last year after i met up with you lot at storey arms)

[the white rabbit]

And cold. I've been there when its started snowing in mid-May. Horrid road.

[metalangel]

Heads of the Valleys is just a dual carriageway most of the way, not that interesting.
