Great weather and enjoyed the drive.
Speed limits.....
Ammanford to Llangadog involved extended 20 zone. Garnant and Brynamman are long, narrow villages stretching along the roads so long 20 zones. That’s an issue in a lot of rural villages along valleys in Wales. Then the A4069 Black Mountain road is a 40 average speed now. It was a great driving road with stunning views, used by TV progs like Top Gear etc..A very popular drive in the past but over enthusiastic driving led to speed restrictions after a couple of accidents/fatalities. The rest of the route was ok with only a couple of extended 20 zones. However, there were a few areas where the limit was confusing. Signage unclear, even a mix of 30/20 in the same place. A poirly thought out and implemented change.
Car went well and I tried out the paddle shift option a few times. A handy tool for some road sections. Next will be Sport/S+. I’ve got some routes in mind. There are many good routes relatively traffic friendly and nice to navigate.

Any joy there once was in driving beautiful cars is being eroded by an attack on the motorist, Wales today England tomorrow.
