Get it wrong and it's off the side of a mountain. Get it right and it's simply perfect.

Is it the a470??

A483 - A470 - A44.
Some sections you can see 3 or 4 apexes ahead, so if the road's quiet, and dry, it's bloody brilliant!
Incidentally I drove it in the wet last week, and let's just say these Michelin Super Sports are GOOD.

I've already done that run a couple of times on my bike. My main riding buddy is practically a walking AtoZ for Wales lol
Can't beat the roads round there. Not done much in a car but I normally set off at around 5am on a Sunday on the bike, Try and break land speed records around Wales, home for say 2pm, sit down and wonder how I'm still alive :grin:

Haha, yeah the journey from mine (north notts) to Dinas usually takes 5 hours. Last couple of times in the GTI it's been 'a bit less'...
Loads of bikes on there making similar progress if you know what I mean! Just got to be wary around Welshpool, seems to be quite a few camera vans about.
But further on, when you get up in the hills, it's there to be had. Good fun. And shows the standard 312 brakes up as a major weak link of the GTI!

Mate do my usual jaunt - A272 from Winchester to Petersfield. Amazing.
Then if you are free on time you can head down the A285 to Chicester, then you can take a right turn along some proper back end country roads. Wonderful,used to hit them on my bike a lot

Nice little list going here guys thanks very much. Will definitely try to get a few of these done next week.
@rich83 that's a proper road trip mate I bet that was a hoot. I imagine you did it over 3 days?
