Live from the Pen y Cae Inn, Craig y Nos, in the Swansea valley.For the real initiated amongst you, Craig y Nos was the home of Madame Patti, the World Famous Opera singer from way back when! Anyway, the start this morning was from Rhandirmwyn and the Llyn Brianne reservoir. The first section this morning was over the Abergwesyn mountain and on to Pwll Bo for another run. This test is completely different in the dark but the flowing corners and blind brows make for an exciting time since you cannot pick out the road edges easily. Then its back to Llandrindod Wells for the rally overnight halt - end day three.
Days four route starts around the Lake at Llandrindod - no Selectif this year due to frogs! - but a fantastic setting to start our Rally Evolution from! The first section takes us back on to Epynt for more glorious fun tests before heading in to the Glasfynydd Forest which has not seen the light of day since the Lombard in 2007! Rated as one of the best Selectifs on the rally you will surely enjoy this years run through without a doubt!
So overnight for our recce crew is at the Pentre Riding Stables just east from the Pen y Cae Inn. No Kenny and Sir Steve are not acting out a Biblical scene but this B& B is well worth a call if in the area, especially if you are out and about on the Rally Evolution or the WRC round in October!
Bye for now
