Motorcycle trip to Wales and the Brecon Beacons - 4k - April 2023

We had wanted to go to Wales for some time and decided 2 weeks ago to just go.
We only had 2 nights which isn't enough but was a good taster. We will certainly go again, maybe do Snowdon too.
What an amazing place though.

[@jedigeekbiker]

Thankyou very much :)

Another route I do often is when I leave the Owls Nest I head towards Abercraf, and use the Old Trecastle road. Lovely roads and scenery that way too as you ride through the Beacons, it's about 12 miles of stunning scenery.

Nice one, we are heading to north wales at some point. Any tips for up there, around Colwyn?

[@mikebelton1677]

@@jedigeekbiker I live in Swansea so not sure about the North. However a few years ago we travelled from Swansea to Port Meirion (where the Prisoner TV series was filmed) on a Versys 650 2 up. We went Swansea, Aberystwyth and followed the coast road to Machynlleth, then onto there. Am sure we went through the Mach loop where the military fly their aircraft. Then again, anywhere in Wales we have stunning scenery and twisties :)

@@mikebelton1677 It is beautiful. I think we may venture to the mach loop. Were staying at Colwyn and having a blast around Snowdon. Just hope its dry in Sept.

It looks really nice around that area, glad you had a nice time.

I moved from Bristol to just south of the Brecons 5 years ago. I know those roads well. For anyone thinking of doing them, be aware that the police know them well too! Loads of speed limits in place now, and all they have to do is listen for a race can wailing, so that they can point their camera at the bend you are just about to come howling around. Weekdays most of the traffic/tourists are not there.

[@jedigeekbiker]

Yep apparently the police are on adventure bikes too. unmarked,, but you do have a wonderful home.

Great trip.

Thankyou

Great video! I'm heading to Wales with a bunch of fellow Soft Southerners in June, so this is inspiring 👍

[@jedigeekbiker]

Thats great thankyou

26:07 You should have stopped here for a burger or a breakfast bap...gorgeous food! One of my regular stops on a spin from home (Llanelli).

[@jedigeekbiker]

Hey, well we may be there this weekend so will do that if its open, thankyou.

[@Jer0867]

5:20 Why not just use a piece of foam or a rolled up sock etc. under the bungee? Much faster, easier, no fannying around with removing after...and it's free!

[@jedigeekbiker]

Yeah this was far from what I expected. On the last trip to a wet north wales I bought a big rucksack instead and found it much better. That film stuff is rubbish.
