Heading up to Wales in the M3 later this month, plan to do the breacon beacons and the Evo Triangle.
Do you know any other roads nearby, or any routes that encompass both the above???
Thanks!!!
-
Google Black Mountain Road.
Also, Llanberis pass near the Triangle is ace! Roads around Lake Bala, whole of the A5, Horseshoe Pass ..... loads and loads!
-
I would give the evo triangle a miss, if it was me, they are a bit to well known and used.
My favourite road in wales is between Bala and Cricketh, very quiet and very fast. And if you make it to Cricketh castle alive, then there is one of the best Chippies in the world. :happy2:

Cut it out !!
Road from Ammanford to Llandovery is good (A4069) and you recognise the bridge at the Llandovery end from many an evo article. I believe their Road Racers article may have been done on it ? .
B4560 between Ebbw Vale and Llangynidr is good and used by evo and top gear regularly and most roads around the Elan valley. Especially the u/c between the Craig Goch res and devils bridge. Its like a mini Stelvio !

There's always Epynt ranges ! If you can handle it! :happy2:

Thanks for all the tips everyone, that should keep me occupied for a while! I'll have to sit down and plan a route at some point, taking into consideration everyone's ideas here :happy2:
Chris, are you going over a weekend? Need any company :party:
I'm going up for a friend's wedding, so thought that I would take a few hours to explore the local roads. I think I'll plan a proper road trip in the Spring next year to go back and explore the roads properly, so we should take a few cars then! :smiley:

Road surface leaves alot to be desired and ford crossings can be hairy! Amazing views and scenery though!

I've been playing out in the sunshine today in Wales, left home bright and early at 7am on a lap of the 'Beddie Loop' haha! :driver:
Home to Ruthin then over the A542 'Horseshoe Pass' into Llangollen, then a quick nip to Chirk for breakfast at McDonalds... double back on the A5 past Llangollen then 2 laps of the Evo Triangle (up on the B4501 and back down on the A543)... Then A5 to Betws-y-Coed and a tank of Shell's finest... Then A4086 'Llanberis Pass' into Caernarfon and back on the A4085... Then A4212 Trawsfynydd to Bala and Finally A494 to Mold and then home..
287 miles, 2 sausage and egg Mcmuffins, 2 lots of fish and chips and a Jelly Baby flavour ice cream and all done :happy2:
