| My drive to work today Wwas working in a Village in Wales today - a village that was outskirting the Brecon Beacons and Black Mountains... The last time i went there, i went along an awesome mountain road, but was in the Mondeo as the Skoda was still engine-less, this time however... So, in anticiaption of this road, i took my camera with me today, as i knew there would be some good scenery for photo's of the car; Entering the Park; ![]() Along a bit more; ![]() Can see the road for a good mile ahead; ![]() Finished work, then headed back the same way as i came in; ![]() Nice hairpin bend; ![]() View; ![]() Valley; ![]() Next area of parking (can see the marks from some handrake usage on the gravel.... );![]() ![]() On a bit further; ![]() And, a gratuitous pic of the car, looking all used and dirty ;![]()
