For our Regions Drive It Day, we are taking a run along the Devilish way from Beulah to Llandovery. You don't have to have a ‘classic’ car to join in, but if you do, bring it along! Meeting at The Hollybush,Pendwyallt Road, Whitchurch, Cardiff, South Glamorgan, CF14 7EG at 9:00am for breakfast then drive to The Trout Inn, Beulah LD5 4UU (whispers.inefficient.dorm) for 11.00 am, when the pub opens. There is a car park to the rear of the petrol station that is shared with the pub. Having refreshed ourselves we will head off taking in the Abergwesyn Common. This is a mostly single-track road, with passing places though there is no grass growing down the middle! As we meander slowly up the valley, we will reach the head, where the road suddenly goes vertical with a double hairpin. If you don’t get wheelspin, you are not doing it right! Passing through forest, suddenly we descend an equally steep incline (low gear advised) and take a left to follow the Llyn Brianne reservoir. There is an opportunity to go to the top of the dam where there is a carpark and a viewing area over the spillway. This is one of the largest rock fill dams in the country and is constructed purely of rock obtained from the site. When ready proceed to Llandovery where we will enjoy a late lunch at The West End Café. All dietary requirements are catered for, though the custard slice is a must.
