Never heard of Onion roundabout but DAMNIT man. I live in another country and I know 1000 sheep road (for the corners dontcha know :wink: ).

It's over the other side of the motorway to you mate over to the Beacons of Brecon for you sonny jim. I know how to get there but don't know the road names/number. ValleyBoy might be able to help you out on that one, you'll like it, I guarantee

Head towards Merthyr if you want 1000 sheep road.... keep on the A470... you go past Merthyr, and its no longer dual carriage way.... you go past a few resevoirs... right before one of them, there is a sign post pointing to the left for Hirwaun / Neath.. take that road.... THAT is 1000 sheep road....

Watch out for drool slick on road surface ;)

Greetings, banana lobber :lol:

and where the frig-a-lig is 1000 sheep road?

It is the A4059 between the Beacons Reservior on the A470 (between Merthyr Tydfil and Brecon) and Hirwaun.

It's one of the roads that the S Wales Police riders close every now again to do their high speed pursuit training and is simply awesome - you can see what's coming (traffic and road-wise) a long way a head. Ignore the white dotted lines in the middle :thumbsup:

If you want a pleasant couple of hours on your bike then go up the Rhondda to Treherbert and take the A4061 to Hirwaun over "The Rhigos" mountain. Then do the A4059 to the reservoirs. Go up the A470 about half a mile and stop in the layby on the right for a cuppa and a burger. Or two :wink:

Then turn round and retrace your steps. Fantastic.

Anyway.....

.....where is this onion roundabout? :?

[donkeykong]

ah excellent, i know it!

Onion roundabout, dunno if its 'called' that, my old man calls it that, and its kinda filtered through to me and my mates.

Its the roundabout on the A470, where it meets the A40, where you turn right to head towards builth.
