    I also recommend the B4520 between Brecon and Builth Wells.
    Never any traffic and its a stunning flowing roller-coaster of a back road 🙂

    that was really enjoyable! my hats off to the sports biker, cant believe she survived those 3 days, my hands would of fallen off. videos like this want to ditch my sport bike and move to adventure/tourer bike!

    Just came across your fantastic “On the fly” video of the Welsh tour. It was almost therapeutic just soaking up the magnificent views that Wales has to offer. Your capture together with commentary describing where you visited was both informative and adequate enough for me to understand. I was up around Snowdonia a couple of weeks ago so it was nice to get a perspective from your footage as you sometimes can miss bits when your riding and concentrating on the road Lol .

    I live in Penderyn and work in Merthyr. With the A465 roadworks, it's often quicker to drive over the mountain road to the A470, just below Pen y Fan, and double back. As a bonus, it's a beautiful drive to work! Much better than sitting in a traffic jam.

    Ive done 6 tours of Wales. Always rains.😂
    After doing Belgium 3 years in a row, decided to do Normandy. 8 hour trip. Just a Ball ache on toll roads.
    So back to Wales for the roads. Plus I've bought an older bike this year as I've given up on modern machinery, don't want to do the miles anymore. 1996 Kawasaki Gpz1100E.

    I don't think there is a underground zip line, there is bounce bellow series of trampolines crossing the underground caverns, zip lines are on the hill above the mine ,and also a down hill mountain bike course very popular , then trawsfynydd powerstation decommisioned neuclear Station, but there is a hydro at maentwrog which is run from the waters of the trawsfynydd lake, and also tanygrisiau hydro at blaenau ffestiniog, lake side cafe is next to it, popular with walkers climbers and motorcyclists, oh and the narrow gauge steam train also , just filling in the bits you missed and was not quite correct about my home area, plenty of narrow roads with plenty of bends to keep you on your toes
