I love this time of year, all the camping trips and adventures and explores around the country. This weekend was no exception and saw @BigPezza hosting his annual Patreon camping trip up to the Brecon Beacons in Wales, where we explored some incredible roads and scenery and had a bit of a party at the campsite too.
Please do check out his channel for more of the shenanigans, well worth it. Do check out @LoneWallyUK and @Phil480 too who I am sure will have content from the trip too.
We were joined by Jess, Chris's partner, her channel is @Motor.Je55 and also Daniel who currently doesn't have a public KZread, but is a super awesome chap, and I'll be seeing him up at the ABR Festival too.
It really was a lot of fun to hang out and ride with everyone, Pezza always puts on a great weekend for us.

Some great little roads heading out to the camp, looks like a nice spot to camp as well. Beer and fire, bikes and mates. Can't go wrong! Emus in Wales? 🤣 Wales looks absolutely awesome to ride through! Those are my type of backroads! I've only briefly gone into Wales in the past and didn't see much. I'll have to go back some day and do it properly. Looks like my kind of a cafe too! What a great weekend! Awesome weather for it too! Living the dream mate!

Aye mate, proper lovely over there... I really love the campsite, we've stayed there a couple of times now, I need to hire a canoe next time we go if I can, the river looks like a good explore. Gotta love a BBQ and too many beers 😀 Ahh, you must have another spin in Wales if ever you make it to the UK with a bike again. I do love a good biker cafe. Thanks mate 🙂

Looks like you all had a great weekend, I bet all the other campers groaned a bit when they saw you lot turn up😁 Funnily enough, I watched a video yesterday and they rode pretty much the same roads👍👍 Those hairpins are a lot tighter and steeper than they looked on camera too. Nice vid, will have to give that Owls Nest a go next time I'm over that way.

You 'can' do 60 mph, on those narrow roads......and to do so, is to live Briefly!!😂 The really steep climb and tight turns, is called 'The Devil's Staircase' Famous bit of road, one of my favourite areas to ride 🙂 BTW, in those narrow (60mph) roads, if it's got grass down the middle?! It's called a Dual Carrigeway, in Wales 🤣🤣🤣 Grumps

WOW, great friends, great weather, great scenery and motorcycles. What more could you ask for. Hey you would have to be insane to go 60 MPH on that little road, I say 30/35 max. So how are those Karoo4 tires holding up? Looks like they hold enough to have some fun on those curvy roads.
