It's a lovely drive, do some of it at least once a month, spoilt only by doddering old fools in their micras and cashcows
 On a day like today? Bliss! 
-------------------- Gammon. And proud!

If your concern is environmental then express it as an environmental concern, because "what some people do for amusement..." is just sneering - sorry. As for me, yes, I'm concerned for the environment, but I'm not a hair-shirt ascetic, and I also like to see people enjoying themselves however it pleases them, so if someone is rich enough to afford a Ferrari then I'm pleased for them that they make the time to drive it just for the pleasure of it. Good for them. -------------------- Right an injustice - give Simon Kirby his allotment back!

Some these are truly epic driving roads, however, what we have isn't a patch on those of mid and north Wales - wow!
Thanks for sharing the article, OP. |
