A ride past a small german hamlet

[OatCake Productions]

Llywel to Tirabad millitary road, all 8.5 miles.

Hamlet comes in from the right about 9 minutes in.   (May not see it if watching on a tiny phone screen).

looked a nice bit of road that Dave. Was the first bit a dual carriageway? And did I see the odd 30 limit sections?
Hope you are ok btw. (not been on for a while)

Hi Dave. Just googled the hamlet you spoke of. It was built on the site of the old BP oil refinery in Llandarcy. Had a brief look and there is no access roads. They reckon the land is still contaminated and will be for some time by the sound of it.

The six white-washed cottages, complete with two shared community buildings, at Coed Darcy, overlook land where a huge BP oil refinery once stood between 1921 and 1998.
They were designed as a showcase for an environmentally sustainable village made up of thousands of new homes, and even had the backing of Prince Charles.
The original vision was for the empty houses to be part of an environmentally-sustainable urban village of 4,000 homes, similar to Prince Charles' Poundbury village in Dorset.
The Prince even visited the site himself when they were completed in 2013.
Last bit copy pasted from Google results.
Always interesting stuff like that innit?
PS Must have a break in South Wales - it's been too long. Such cracking roads.

Hi Brian. I'm OK thanks.

Yes it is a dual carriage way at the beginning, so 70 mph if you wish.
The speed limit does vary between the red flags 40, 30 and 20 mph which I adhered to all the way 😉.



You have googled the wrong place.

The FIBUA village in the video is the one near Senny Bridge, completed in 1990.

You can't get to it. All the auxiliary roads are no entry.

They filmed Dr WHO there a few years back.

Sorry mate - I'm a dummkopf. Think I googled uninhabited village near Tirabad.
Cheers Dave.
