Had a great weekend away in South Wales---though Sunday was dampened by Vivi's unfortunate slip.
GPS track for Saturday
Setting off from Burford Road services in some nasty cold fog:
It cleared up soon after and the sun came out for our stop by the river in Ross-on-Wye:
The next bit had some fantastic roads. The B4521 from Ross to Abergavenny was excitingly curvy and the A40 to Brecon had some fine views:
We had a snack at Terry's famous burger van on the A470, a popular stop for bikes---there were loads coming and going the whole time we were there:
Another brilliant bit of road followed (A4059), but mind the sheep! The day-trippers made their own way home after this, while the overnighters continued on to Clyne Farm, right on top of a hill with spectacular views of Swansea and Mumbles in all directions:
Off to Knab Rock in Mumbles, another popular biker haunt
Right next door is Verdi's café, with a menu full of tempting Italian treats, like thick hot chocolate and delicious ice cream:
Back to Clyne Farm to set up camp:
How many people does it take to put up a tent?
Evening entertainment was provided by Gilbert & Sullivan's rousing Gondoliers, with a champage reception in the interval, and rounded of by an excellent meal at Mumbai, a nearby Indian restaurant; highly recommended.
