I'm going to see my parents some time next month as I've not seen them since Feb and I'm probably going take the bike (although my Mum will have a fit). A quick check on AA route planner, avoiding motorways shows: Pembroke > Carmarthen >Llandeilo > Llandovery > Llanwrytd Wells > Llandrindod Wells > Knighton > Ludlow > Bridgnorth > Wolverhampton > Sutton Coldfield - 168 miles, 4hrs 21mins non stop, so say 6 hrs However, I don't know the area or the roads, when in the car we use the motorways. Route suggestions and stopping points are welcome. TIA.
I would probably go slightly south of that through Brecon, Talgarth, Leominster and Kidderminster, but that’s because I know that route better from when I was a lad.
Thanks, I was also looking at Brecon, Hay-on-Wye, Leominster, Tenbury Wells, Kidderminster, then through central Brum to Sutton Coldfield. Just really after the best roads with decent stop off points for coffee/fuel/other bikers. I reckon my first stop will be Llandovery and Owl's Nest.
