I don't suppose anyone fancies doing a quick writeup of the weekend that I can add to the website?  :tu:

Late thanks to all (been away).  Sue and I both had a great day with good company. 

Lots of dust and road grime to get out of nose and ears (the joy of not wearing a helmet!)

Lovin the pics and videos, will edit mine and post B4 Christmas!

Cheers

Nick

Sorry for the late reply but just wanted to say I had a fantastic time over the weekend, nice to meet some new owners.  Some truely brilliant roads even with the cattle grids, sheep and tourists trying their best to scupper things, well done Ben/Kezzie for the TomTom routes, made catching up easier after getting delayed by traffic.

Lots of video to go through and edit, this may take me to Xmas though!

Looking forward to next year (if I still have the car)

Thanks to everyone for generous comments and for coming.  I had a ball.  Bit worried half way through Saturday that we might spend most of the weekend sitting behind people who were making the most of the scenery.

So pleased that we got some clear runs and cooperative drivers in the Summer Rally.
Pete checked out the rally - they did a similar route to us, had two nights at the Celtic Manor hotel and paid £2000 for the privilege!

Getting a clear run over Black Mountain was luck indeed. (very much enjoyed the video, Kezzie)

As Kezzie has hinted, looking to get a bit further North next year, possibly staying in Mid Wales and perhaps add in something 'tracky'.

Cheers.

Ben

Another great weekend! Thanks also to Ben! Anyone's GoPro capture the policeman on the side of the black mountain when we were gunning it up?!

Another great event with even the weather again arranged to suit the great roads - count me in for more than 1 day in 2015 :vroom:

What a brilliant weekend!
Thanks again to Benupatree for the hospitality, organisation and the changes to the route which took us through some stunning Welsh countryside.
Pictures and videos are being edited, whittled down and compiled as we speak and I will post links when I've got them uploaded.

Next year Ben & I are hoping to arrange a pre-event track day on the Friday, possibly Pembrey or Landow and also with the aim to extend the drives to cover more of the West and/or North.
