Pete Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 Here's a shot taken today on the Eppynt Mountain range between Brecon and Builth. The idyllic setting in the background is a bit misleading though....cos the rest of the region is an MOD Weapons Testing Area. So I had to be a bit careful where I took photos in case I got arrested for spying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 It is a great road on my bike, cos there's less on speed and more on cornering, great fun Maybe my cornerings not so great though :bag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XT Alan Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 Exactly 30 years ago before the View Point, where Pete took this picture, was built, two mates and I camped about 400 yards from this spot. On the hill, down and to the left Pete, there is a "cut" in the hillside. Here we sheltered from the wind and rain and slept in our wax Belstaffs and Bin Bags. All we had to keep us warm was Newcastle Brown Ale. I was on a Triumph 650 Tiger, Mark was on a Ducati 450 Desmo Single and Steve was on an RD250. I lived in London at the time and this was our second explore through Wales. The year before we were on K4 Honda 250s and instead of Bin Bags, we had a plastic sheet and masking tape AND OF COURSE Newcastle Brown. We spent all our money on bikes, petrol and beer, things like tents and food were a luxury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
