Our 3 day Dambusters Tour took us on to some of the best driving roads that Wales has to offer that encompassed the Brecon Beacons and Snowdonia National Park.
The route included a great mix of challenging, fast “A & B” roads that let everyone explore the car’s capabilities in both wet and dry conditions, which certainly added to the challenge of the tour!
There was also some more sedate scenic sections along the route that certainly required less right foot and more of a half throttle approach, but equally rewarded both driver and co-driver with great views of the Welsh coast and countryside, well when the low-level cloud allowed us a glimpse!
We had a fabulous mix of cars and people for the event, who started their journey at the 5* Celtic Manor Resort, heading up to the epic roads of the Brecon Beacons. We included the Black Mountain roads before heading for lunch in the Dolaucothi Arms, voted Countryfile country pub of the year in 2019. We then headed up to Devils Bridge, and the beautiful remote landscape of the Elan Valley, home to the original testing of the Dambusters Bombs.
Home for the next 2 nights was the luxury hotel and spa at Lake Vyrnwy, where the cars took a well-deserved breather, whilst everyone headed to the bar to partake in a few well-earned beers after a full day of driving, before meeting up for a group meal in the bar.
