One road you must have a look at is the A4212 between Bala and Trawsfynydd. And if you get chance the B4391 off that towards Ffestiniog, and the B4407. Narrow and bumpy but great views on a clear day. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Westerly Posted July 13, 2021 Author Share Posted July 13, 2021 Once I get to Trawsfynydd I like the road that drops down to Dollgellau where there's a superb cafe in the town centre which I can't remember the name of, then on cross country on small roads towards Llandrindod Wells.

I have travelled and driven that road many times. It’s a cracker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sold the ‘van around 1980 after one of the locals became abusive about the English and where they could stick their money. A great shame because my parents had enjoyed many good times there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't miss working in Smethwick some interesting driving there. I work in Birmingham now but been working from home since November, my first day back today. I'm lucky I work in Bournville and from my home I miss the crappy bits out and use the lanes through Frankley and past the reservoir so relatively nice for Birmingham ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have to go to Central Birmingham on a regular basis. Stopping at the plaza. Absolute nightmare to get in and out of from the motorway. Used to take the bike when I could but then they dug the car park up and became a bit of a faff to say the least. Some decent pubs in the centre tho 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
