Managed to reschedule our Brecon Beacons run out today, 13 cars Z3's and Z4's starting off at Merthyr at 11:00am and heading through Penderyn then Sennybridge before taking the Military Roads across the Beacons to Tirabad. We got split up at Cynhordy due a Satnav glitch but got back together for a stop at Llyn Brianne Reservoir and Dam where refreshments were taken at the Burger Bar on site. Departed and managed another navigation error and ended up in Tregaron so had to retrace our route to drop down the Devils Staircase to Beulah. Some incredible roads and stunning scenery to enjoy so our off route excursion gave us the chance to use roads we hadn't been on before. Back on track we passed through Builth Wells and used the Old Radnor road then crossing over the river Wye at Erwood, we should have carried on and used a small suspension bridge further on but our leader at the time took the more modern bridge. Onward to Three Cocks and refreshments at the Old Railway Garden Centre. We had lost a few on the way there as some started making their way back home. Five of us managed it to the end stop out of the thirteen starters. Weather was kind and judging by the comments on our Group Chat everyone enjoyed the day. Have to plan another outing soon.

Your very welcome to join our Zedshed Cymru run outs when we have them, we operate on a What's App Group so the arrangements get posted on that. The Group is centred on my home garage equipped with a lift and when jobs are needed on our cars owners supply parts etc and job gets done between us. It's not a business just an enthusiast group. I don't charge for my time so it's left to the individual to decide on a donation towards running costs, it gets spent on consumables and tools when needed. We do have members spread across South Wales, Bristol and Gloucester areas are more much further afield. We number around 110 at the moment made up with Z3 and Z4's. Group is by invitation only, if your interested and want to join us send me your mobile number and I will send you an invite link. Really depends on where your located if the Group is any use to you..

Great day out Colin
A planned route is all very well..........but an unplanned detour offers so much more. 🤭
Some of the scenery was just fabulous 👍

Really good mix of cars and people:thumbsup:
