waltzinblack Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Went to see my Nan in Hereford today... she suggested taking the car up to the Elan Valley (and she knows someone in Rhayader anyway) so we went! Round trip from London > Hereford > Wales and back again Anyway, some of you will recognise the scenery from the Fifth Gear review of the HR Zed. I took the opportunity to take a few pics of my own. I'm no photographer and they are only from an iPhone but enjoy them anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnH Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I don't know about anyone else, but I'm stupidly proud to be Welsh, beautiful place to drive and don't get me started on the rugby. Apart from jumping out of a plane that's my 2 main passions in life sorted... shame I live in nodnoL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebized Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Did you see this when you were in Rhayder? Nice driving roads, for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waltzinblack Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 Thanks for the kind words, shame I didn't have a good camera with me though really! The roads round there are really epic, but I was mainly just cruising along enjoying the view: 1) Because my Nan was in the car and she didn't fancy the steep drops into water! and 2) it was raining ever so slightly, and the little iron fences cordoning off 60ft drops made ME want to be cautious! Downside of that was that tyres and brakes were bone cold, so if I did see a particularly fun looking twisty bit.. the car didn't exactly feel at it's best anyway! Nevertheless it was a good day. And was particularly nice for my Nan as her late gentleman friend grew up in the farm at the bottom of the first dam. And it also gave her an opportunity to visit his stone in Rhayader cemetery. And strangely enough, for a 76 year old woman, she wasn't too phased by the 3rd gear overtaking on the road back! When there's another meet down that way I will try my best to attend!
