WHAM Day Out – Brecon Beacons & Chepstow Backwards…
August 11, 2019 @ 8:30 am - 4:00 pm
Starting at Hereford McDonalds, today’s route takes us around the same route as June’s ride out but in the opposite direction, the ride feels completely different this way round, especially the last leg which seems much better going South.
Leg 1 – Starting at McDonalds Hereford the routes takes us down to Three Ashes then accross to Abergavenny via the excellent Skenfrith Road. Then we follow the Usk Valley and B4560 to our breakfast stop at the Honey Cafe.
Leg 2 – Heads up the Wye Valley, crossing the river on the way to Builth Wells to use the more interesting B road. We then head back down the twisty B4520 through Upper & Lower Chapel to Brecon, down the Usk Valley and over Blaenavon to the Steel Horse Cafe for afternoon coffee.
Leg 3 – Tracks back to Hereford via the Chepstow road.
Arrive at the start point at 08:30 for a 09:00 start.
