We went for a run in the Brecon Beacons last Saturday as we now live just down the road from them and enjoyed some real peace and quiet not another vehicle came the other way. Mind you if one had there would have to have been a lot of reversing as it was a single track with a steep drop on the left. Then we found an arch with a height limit of 5'6" and as we were being followed by a Range I thought if she can get through there so can we.
The Google car didn't go through, I have a feeling it would have taken the cameras off the top. But it was a fun day out and next week we're doing the other side of the Heads of the Valleys Road, we've been told there's a great run over the hills and down to Crickhowell. |

Nope she went under just, but it was a bit worrying as we came down the hill as the opening was a lot smaller so we went through, but it's only 5'6" so it was a little worrying. |

Got her back this morning after a four day visit to the MOT centre front down pipe major blow, rear brake shoes and a main beam light warning light on the dash. Two advisories rust on fuel lines and chassis. So we now have a legal Bighorn for another year. |
