Mar 24-27: Off-Road course + Mid Wales ride

Defor, Dahoum and myself are doing the World of BMW off road course on 25-26 March (we've booked R12GSs) and plan to ride over together on 24 March. Due to Easter, many of the normal places are already full so we're, staying at Ynyscedwyn Arms Hotel 53, Commercial St, Ystradgynlais, SA9 1LA, tel: 01639 841000 (£25pp pn B&B).

Rather than go straight home on the 26th, we’re planning to do the Forest Ffaw road, followed by Llyn Brianne and the Devil’s Staircase, stay overnight probably at Tregaron, then in the morning do Devil’s Bridge and Elan Valley, then take the swooping A44 to Worcester, before heading home.

Some pics from an earlier reconnaissance trip.




Llyn Brianne




No traffic for miles


Devil's Bridge--three bridges from different ages








Above the dam you can see the continuation of the road




Elan Valley

Other tossers welcome
