If you are following the rally around South Wales this next few days BEWARE - the talivans are out to get you. For your licences sake, and your pockets - KEEP TO THE POSTED LIMIT. Don't give the bastards the satisfaction or the revenue to keep going.

If you are travelling the A470 NORTH out of Cardiff, there is a 40MPH limit for a good few miles starting at the last set of traffic lights out of Cardiff (Manor Way, opposite the Golf Course) and running north until just before the Caerphilly exit slip.

If you join the A470 from the M4, you will be bang in the middle of it.

Stick below 40MPH - 4 talivans were on the A470 yesterday and earlier today in the 40 zone. 2 on each side of the road, directly opposite each other.

They locate themselves just by the Taffs Well Woodyard, just a few hundred yards north of the South Wales Forgemasters buildings (just after the M4/A470 change over slips, just after the Radyr off slip). You'll go under a bridge and round a gentleish bend, they are up on the old police hardstanding HIDDEN behind a mini JCB thats behind some imposing metal fencing.

Further up the A470, you'll find them on the bridges over the A470 at Rhydfelin (on the 'Tesco' straight) and on the bridges at Pontypridd (Closed off slip road, then on bridges that form Ponty Giratory), Cilfynydd (A470 goes split level, then round a bend, houses on your right, and a valley with houses on your left, normally on bridges just past the ped. footbridge) then in laybys and bridges all the way up from there until after Myrthyr Tydfil.

Listen out to Red Dragon FM 103.2FM, Rally FM 87.7FM, Real Radio 105.4FM.

Hope this helps. Also check http://www.checkyourspeed.org.uk/

My buddy who went to watch last year thinks that someone must have snapped off half his front number plate whilst he was having a coffee in Leigh Delamere services on the M4.
Subsequently he had no problems with the Talivans, even though he was unable to buy a new plate until he got home and took his V5 plus photo ID to the number plate shop.
Oh dear, how sad!
