Fforest fawr ? Llangadog to Brynaman.. I know that road well.. dont know why its called Fforest fawr, no bloody trees there! for you lot, its the twisty road that leads up to a top of a mountain, that if the sun is low, you go blind and go through a hedge road...

also know Llyn Brianne (was there sunday)

also know Elan Valley, was there with DrRich a few weeks ago

Done Llanberis pass when I had the SV... very nice road, dont miss judge a corner, as its all stone walled... and dont keep on looking up at snowdonia up over your shoulder.. due to stone walls, not advised to take eyes off road...

Also done B4407 when I stayed up in North Wales 2 years ago... that was by accident after taking a wrong turning! (was off to see a lady friend that lived in Tanygrisiau, and completely got lost between Betws Y Coed and Blaenau Ffestiniog.. ended up going in wrong direction.. and took this road as short cut back on track...

Also done A44... as it runs to Aberystwyth from A470, and goes over to Engerrland somewhere as well...

and we have all been along the wye valley at somepoint...

so out of all that, its only two I havent ridden on a bike... I have walked on the road near Bala though many many years ago...

how many have you lot done ? lol

I wish these sites would take the time to update their maps to something useful like local.live or google maps. Multi map is well past it's use by date.

I'm not falling for that one again VB, be warned people, the small print actually states "one burger per person per stop".

I'll settle for coffee & burger per trip. You can all club together & make a good saving that way ;)
