This is especially true if you have a long trip to get here.

FYI NWP posted this a couple of weeks ago showing how a 'trip to Wales' can catch you out. https://www.facebook.com/NWPRPU/posts/995165783990424

EDIT:


Good advice and what I was driving at... You can of course make sure you know where the local tyre shop is and get one changed whilst in Wales. (As I have done in Scotland).
Howdy, a friend of mine is organising the trip, hence saying wales. Going to try an get a rough picture of the route.
