Funnily enough the A4233 is wiggly too, but, don't go down this bit either http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?saddr=...sz=13&t=m&z=13

Great ride chaps! Genuinely meant because its great to get out & its always tricky to get the right circumstances and the right company to have an enjoyable ride. Stu, nice to meet you & very nice bike. Sorry to hear about the bike Grant and interested to see what was causing the problem. VB get on here and start planning some routes with more of those cracking mountain roads. That mountain top vista was quite a picture.

Definitely up for more of that chaps. If ever I have a free Saturday or Sunday I'm there so just let me know. Will try and get some vids up but no promises (as editing is bloody boring!!!!!). Have a great Sunday y'all.

Oh, one more thing. Would love to go on a ride with sane people who don't believe in Zombies. If anyone's out there ....

Seems to have been that earth cable. See "tweaking" section .

Was that the secret road? I forgot to switch me tracker on so still don't know where it was.

What do you use for editing? Premiere? I'm still editing a holiday video from 4 years ago

You may just be a victim of the first wave. So sad. Although you no doubt get a great video of them as the munch on your legs.

Some very nice new roads (and one road I don't fancy doing again any time soon). VB could you pop some details of the Gun Range road up please? Nice to see a new face, shame about the other faces though. Looking forward to the video...

Same time next week?
The road in question is off the B4520. From Brecon you go towards Upper / Lower Chappel, just after Upper Chappel you have a turn off.. this is the B4519 and is the road through the Epynt firing range... if the red flags are up, DO NOT GO OFF THE MAIN ROAD if the signs have a warning notice next to them... bad things will happen!
On this roads, most of the buildings you pass have been converted in to bunk houses for the MOD... may look like a pub / house on the outside but you will se a sign on a few of them saying it's MOD property...

Spotted the fake German Village on google earth too... sadly all the roads next to it are out of bounds, but you can get nearish enough to see it, just not allowed in it...

Lol, its more likely I'll die of boredom trying to edit down these vids!

Reviewed all the footage yesterday & managed to edit to 20mins of highlights. You wouldn't believe how bad the weather/roads/traffic looks on Camera. Funny how the mind plays tricks. I think listening to music definitely keeps the boredom away.

Anyway, got to the last vid - as I editing them all in one go - and the software crashed! I was livid grrrrrrr. It had gone midnight and no matter what I tried I couldn't unfreeze it. So back to the raw footage and will have to leave it for a couple of days Will post here as soon as fininshed.

It was the car in front that hit it. The squirrel came spinning out from underneath.

I swerved once, I swerved twice, I swerved a third time.

Yet I still managed to miss the little bugger...
