Yes I gathered that when I wrote it, but I don't let details get in the way of a good joke!

Quality photos.

I can't push nearly as hard as I'd like to for fear of running a sheep over at 50mph+ and seriously leant over

The only road that does have open views that I've found so far, probably has a worse surface than the second one you posted about VB (A543 for those in the know).

I found the B4407 an interesting road when I was up that way last year... going round a corner with a stone wall on the outside.. with a rather large sheer drop the other side.. makes you think twice about going fast around there!

Only ended up on that road, as I was staying by Capel Curig, and wanted to get to Tanygrisiau to visit a friend.... took a wrong turning somewhere...

Sadly, the road condition has deteriorated in the past 2 years, was a cracking road when I had the SV, but there are so many bumps and dips in the tarmac now, you have to be suicidal to go round some of them fast.... that hairpin is an ideal knee down corner.. but if you stray off the correct line by an inch or so, it gets so bouncy, you will get both knees down while watching your bike go round without you!

ive ridden most of mid and north wales and by the looks of those cracking pictures VB your area is now on my hit list! great pics

Cracking photos grommit...

but I only counted 14 sheep then fell asleep... ( ha... no not worth it)

Lovely roads on brill scenery,
Taff I envy you.


but then again... we do have some great roads up here too...

Great roads, ruined by sheep. Aside from Valleysboy's incident, I've had a (very) near miss with a sheep there. Also a lad I was riding with managed to kill a sheep and stay upright (trying to outdo my deer, I think) with his missus on the back!

great shots...makes me realize how much i miss it over the pond...damn i need to get back
