Hey guys!
As we had so much success with the first wales retro meet on the 2nd of January ive decided to organise another.
hopefully we can make this a monthly meet with routes and meeting places changing all the time so no one gets bored!
so as it says in the headline, Brecon to Builth wells meet up and drive out.
ive moved the meeting time forward to 11.00am to 12.00pm so it gives everyone a chance to meet us and so places still do sunday lunch!
meeting place is at the old RAC bend on the a470 about 3 miles outside of libanus village south bound before the storey arms outdoor education centre.
the route will take us on some fabulous roads with some picturesque scenery for all you photography buffs!
the route will be a470 to brecon town centre then joining the b4520 to upper chapel on the epynt ranges going on to builth wells for lunch.
the road is pretty spectacular from a driving point of view as i drove the route back last week!
no speed humps so low cars are welcome!
postcodes for venues are:
Storey arms outdoor education centre ld3 8nl
Llanelwedd Arms Hotel Station Rd, Builth Wells, Powys LD2 3SR
hope all you guys can make this!
any problems also, feel free to ask.
Jay

I'm new here, from Blackwood, but wouldn't mind turning up. Only thing is, I have no idea where this bend is. I know where the A470 is, but any chance of an idiots guide. Should I just set the satnav for LD3 8NL and start looking for a burger van once it shows I'm less than a mile away? I'll be arriving in this: though it probably wont be as clean.

I should imagine you'll be coming from blackwood through tredegar then down the a465 heads of the valleys road towards cefn coed in merthyr tydfil.
Take the a470 from the cefn coed roundabout which is 3rd exit off sign posted for brecon.
Follow the road all the way until your satnav says its reached its destination then carry on past the white building on your right.
There's a layby on your left after the white building, you need to go pass that, then you come to a tigh righthand bend look right at this bend and you will see us and the burger van!
Should be a few of us there!
