For the weekend?

I think I'm meeting up with Roy at around 10:00 in Chard and heading on up over a different way... something like I've shown below.. mainly because there is a road at the west of the Brecons that has been highly recommended.

Route not 100% yet but so far it looks like 194 miles (or 5 hours riding).. so with stops I'd expect to be at the hotel sometime after 16:00.
Anyone else.. feel free to join to late crew.

I hope you haven't jinxed it by saying that

Looking at the forecast I think he did... Ah well,, got waterproofs.

That road across the tops of the Valleys isn't fun but will be nice to know what you thought of the route when we meet up at the Inn.

[Jug]

yeh, I'm thinking of scrapping that leg and using the A40 across the top instead.

Route all sorted now Brain but thanks anyway.
I believe there has been some mention of damp skies this weekend, which would be very unusual for Wales.
