I'm looking to organise another driving event this summer.

The day will be centred around driving the A4069 Black mountain pass in the Brecon Beacons hailed as one of Wales' best driving roads. Made famous by BBC's Top Gear.

See short clip of part of the route below

It will have the same start and end point as we will be doing one big loop. This will mean that for those who are reasonably local it can be done in one day and then drive home afterwards or for members from further afield it will just be one overnight stay at Merthyr Tydfil. The event will start at 10am and be finished by mid/late afternoon for the drive home.

I'm quite flexible on the dates but obviously want to do it when it doesn't clash with any other A2OC event. I've started a poll above for 3 potential dates, please vote which dates best suit you and we will go with the majority.

No number limits on this event because the roads are all decent so we won't have to do any country lane reverse convoys :)

If you want to know any details please fire away.

Mike/Yvonne @a2sumo @Vonnie - I haven't messaged you on this one because I've seen from fb that you are on holidays and don't want to disturb that with car stuff :) but have spaced the options away from other A2OC events, any issues let me know.

Unfortunately may not be able to make this dependant on what current state of rebuild I’m in with Boxy.. gutted as if the your last arranged event is anything to go on this one will be brilliant... I’d encourage all to attend..

Fingers crossed I’ll be finished by then and can come along. I’ve cast a vote that gives me more time ?.

Would be a shame if you couldn't come mate. Don't mind if you want to bring your daily instead.
 
Sorry I can't attend . Wife's birthday the first weekend and working the other. Boogah. ☹
 
I can make both weekends at mo. But dependant on work commitments will know more closer to dates.

We definitely can't do anything before the end of August as we are away/returning from holidays.

I'll need to gauge family reaction, the only blocker likely to be the travelling time there and back for them for a days outing. From my perspective, aka the driver, it looks great.

Ok mate. Would be great to see you all again so just let me know what you can do.
 
This sounds great, and the early and late weekends are the ones before and after our week away in the sun. It might just be with me solo but Doodlebug will hopefully be there.

I think the Sunday of the Bank Holiday weekend (26th) would make most sense - those who need to travel have the Saturday after the big getaway rush on the Friday evening, and there's still the Monday for the jobs we were supposed to have been doing that weekend ;)

Good stuff, I think it's looking to be that weekend so far.
