Great pictures. Did you get any in the previous weeks of the A4 in North Wales? I tried and failed miserably so respect is due for your efforts!
Knowing the area quite well I would be interested in how many speed records you broke getting from Holyhead to Penmaenmawr before the train?

Hi T1948,

I wasn't driving, but the guy that was, I have never known him go over the speed limit anytime and, that is the truth.
We did exactly the same last year with the Black 5, both this year and last we settled for what we got, as we got to Penmaenmawr we saw people on the bridge pulled over and got the shot. So I can assure you no speeding required.
