boboneleg Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Before I start I must make it clear that there are no photos of Devils Bridge as the best thing you can do when you get there is too pass through very quickly to avoid all the wannabee's and power rangers Anyway, after getting some petrol I got onto the M32 and headed up to the M4 , as I'm just exiting the slip road I notice the old bill in my mirrors so move over and let him pass but on come the blue lights and he signalling me to pull over, bollox I wasn't going that fast . Anyway he then pulls into the middle lane and I realise that he's trying to halt the traffic, luckily I'm at the front so when he stops I get a birds eye view of him running up and down the motorway picking up someones luggage which is spread all over three lanes, great start to the day Anyway, over the bridge and up through the back roads to Raglan, past Abergavenny , through Talybont and onto Brecon. Then the climb to Upper Chapel where I stopped to look at this lovely little church Carry on to the road leading to Beulah, over the army ranges 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boboneleg Posted August 29, 2020 Author Share Posted August 29, 2020 I stopped for a coffeee at the top, it's a great view from here From Beulah I took the road through the Abergwesen pass to Tregaon, this is a great road but very busy with cyclists today 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boboneleg Posted August 29, 2020 Author Share Posted August 29, 2020 From Tregaron I passed though Llanddewi Brefi but you wouldn't know as the sign has been knicked again , as said earlier I scooted through Devils Bridge and onto Cwmystwyth and then found a gravel road to have a little play on and a play on the rickety bridge........ At the entrance to the Elan Valley road they have put some pic nic tables by the river which was very nice Then it was a steady ride back to the motherland with a couple of coffee breaks on the way. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
