Scorchingly hot today, especially without aircon, but we did over 200
miles and got out into some really out of the way places.

No, this is scorching withou aircon and really out of the way places.

Melted a piston shortly after that last one :S

Replying to my own post I know but found ones where it all got a bit
more basic than no aircon, and just as scorching:

I love Wales for driving roads. Out of interest do you know where this was:

It looks very familar to a road I did in convoy a few years ago when we had
a spare few hours between stages on the Rally GB. Great fun, but I made my
girlfriend car sick and we stopped on the side of road, just by a river,
exactly like in that picture.

That's known as the 'Abergavenny Mountain Road' - from Rhayader via
Cwmystwyth to Devil's Bridge.

Excellent road, if a little narrow in places.

Despite the warning signs, I met a coach about a mile in. Not nice.

Aha, not the same road then, as we were definitely a bit further South.

After that I always said to my other half we'd go back for a weekend of
driving, walking, camping and drinking in the Brecons. Still never got
round to it though.

I'm sure you've posted about the Upper Chapel to Beulah road in the past
- that's the MOD firing range road.

That also rocks a fat one.

Nice one! I spent yesterday in the garden building a wooden climbing
frame/swing/fort thing for the kids Which the little one promptly fell
off and we had to go to casualty... She's ok though, just a sprain. I've
altered the stairs up to it now lol.

And I got sunburnt on my neck; I'm a proper redneck.

Don't think it was me, I haven't been that far into Wales since before I
could drive!! If I was talking about military roads in Wales it probably
would have been Epynt. Which is epic!

That also rocks a fat one.

That's the one.... Epynt.

Couldn't remember when I posted, though.

(Upper Chapel isn't far from Brecon)
