Plenty of people here should recognise it...


Fantastic scenery. It's a shame some p***y has dumped an old Ford at the side of the road. :(

Not to mention there's some bloke doing calisthenics with the sun behind. Please tell me you weren't naked :twisted:

Normally on a road like that I don't bother stopping, so any chance of a number?

Three weeks ago strangely enough. I came in from the Crickhowell road, so turned left down to Beaufort before U-turning and driving up to Llandgynidr. Didn't stop at any point. With a vista like Martin's I tend to optimise the road rather than the view.

This is one of my favourites though it can be very busy with people avoiding the toll on the motorway. The concrete barrier (and the 60kph speed limit) was added about ten years ago; before this stretch was 'affectionately' known as the road of death!

I'm sure that's a White-tailed eagle on the right just dropping over the top of the trees by the sheep?
