hiya,
Would’nt like to get pushed very far over on that bit of road Dave, bet it’d make you pull shoulders in,looks like a canny drop on the Daf’s nearside.
thanks harry long retired.

Hi Harry,
You are right about the drop,its not the best of places along that stretch,there’s been a few slips and subsidance over the years,just where that lorry is passing was rebuilt a few years back,there was traffic lights for several years after a slip. Them McAlpines rebuilt it.
hiya,
It’s no wonder the Daf driver is just about hugging the white line, bet he’s got both hands on the handlebars, another couple of foot width would’nt go amiss at that point.
thanks harry long retired.

Too right about that Harry,its quite a busy link between South and North Wales,also there is a big timber mill near Newbridge On Wye,south of Rhayader and there’s a lot of timber heading into there,with a lot of woodchips etc heading out back up to Kronospan at Chirk.
Cheers Dave.
