If you've never done that part of the country, I recommend it.

Didn't realise there was so much there. road surfaces were mainly smooth although you have to watch speed limits and the welsh police who are pretty strict on speedy perambulations. (we got speed gunned twice, but were not speeding)

 

From Manchester, it was only 3 hours away although I took the very long way down and it took 12 hours and loved every min

Been a few years since I've had them so can't find the vendor
