Posted August 10, 200420 yr 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!
August 10, 200420 yr 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
August 10, 200420 yr PMSL !! Bet ya struggle up some of the hills tho Daz eh? :roll: My ex-wife's family live in Builth and i've ridden through there several times on the Divvy - it was bloody heavy on the twisties :shock: I don't speak to her unless i have to now, but it would be a great run for the Fazer :twisted: Hmmm, maybe i'll take my daughter to see her Grandad one sunny day :wink:
August 10, 200420 yr Yeah, but i've been lucky though, only ever had to avoid one, and i did that road several times.
August 10, 200420 yr 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.
August 10, 200420 yr Author Sounds like good times there Alan....before we all got old and life got complicated. :cry: And Darren, it's in the big layby at the top.

August 12, 200420 yr Author Well thanks for the thumbs up Tym! 8) However, according to my sources, there's going to be a new force to be reckoned with emerging soon. Don't know if you've heard anything.
August 12, 200420 yr Author I was told there's hardly anybody left there to spill the beans to! And Ren's pulled out as well apparently?
