Road Trip Round Wales - April 1992
Nosher and Hamish take Nosher's legendary Mk.1 Astra from High Wycombe to the wilds of Wales, for no particular reason other than it's something interesting to do. On the way, we stop off at Ironbridge to see the birthplace of the industrial revolution, and then head off to a youth hostel at Capel Curig for the night. The next day, we roam through Snowdonia, across to Anglesey (to South Stack) and back to travel down through the spine of Wales. However, there's an emergency at Machynlleth, where the headlight's full-beam switch sticks in the "on" position, requiring a call-out from the AA. This makes us late for the next youth hostel, so we end up sleeping in the car for the night. Well, at least we get to experience the joys of cleaning our teeth in the morning in a car-park toilet near Abergavenny...
