BB200 The night before…

Post by Giacomo »

Hi all, not done the BB200 for a good number of years and wondering whether anyone knows of any good van sleeping spots for the night before. Pretty sure I stayed in a pub car park or a car park near a pub last time… is that still a thing? Any other suggestions?

Thanks all and see some of you in November!

The Star used to be the favoured spot but that's now closed. Some will likely be in the Wynnstay Arms in Llanbrynmair which has a car park directly opposite. If you want something more scenic, the car park / viewing spot which overlooks the reservoir on the road between Llanbrynmair and Llanidloes is a favourite for vans.

That's if it's not rammed already!
There's another carpark just down the hill at the dam that's usually empty.

Thanks! Found it. Might try that…

I’ll try my luck on a (probably wet and windy) November night. Otherwise I’ll be going downhill! Thank you
