Hey guys,

Just thought I'd share some photos from my trip to Wales.

I've been to the Brecon Beacons and the Evo Triangle before last year (in another Mk2, the VW GTI), but I skipped Mid-Wales completely. When Evo ran an article about driving roads at Elan Valley, I seized the opportunity and planned the trip.

Together with the Evo guide I compiled a couple of roads off threads at Pistonheads and then, having drawn the plans on a map (a proper one ) I set off from London for a four day trip.

I thought it would be alright, you know a couple of dams, but wow I was complete awe-struck when I visited the area. It is simply amazing. Worth a visit for the scenery - but Elan Valley roads does seem a little too narrow for any hooning. However an unmarked road from Bala to Treganon and one from Llanidloes to Machynlleth (B4518) more than made up for it!

Anyway, here are some pics:

PS. I also have rolling updates on the MR2 on my automotive blog if anyone's interested: http://perfectsteer.wordpress.com/category/staff-cars/


One word: rally!


Elan on a beautiful day.

Another rally-stage picture.


Let's have a peek at where we're going shall we...


This, by the way, was a dirty car.




Elan towards Rhayader, the long way back.




Even cars need a rest sometimes... And maybe a pint


Roof is off for a sunny day at Abersytwyth!

Enjoy
