Looks like a good route!
You're doing the main bit I'd say is a must do (gospel pass) so no comments there...
I found myself caught out a bit round Symonds Yat as I found ridewithgps sent me on some gravel (which confused me, as it doesn't exist in this country) - was manageable on 28 slicks for me so nothing too bad, but worth being aware of and checking (if that would bother you).
Looks like a great route though, have fun!

I am actually looking for some rideable non-existing gravel, which will be passed as "It totally looked like a tarmac road" to the complaining wife on the spot.
But will also depend on the conditions, if it rains a bit and gets wet we might have to route around.What about Pembrokeshire? Any peninsula/cove worth checking out?
Definitely have new or carry spare brake pads.
Always when traveling.

Ireland still has mandatory quarantine, so we decided to head to the next rainest place, Wales.
We have trains to Bristol and back from Crewe (it was dirt cheap, might take a train to Crewe if we end up short on time)
This is the route we are going to do, still WIP, but rather finalised.
Anyone care to pitch in?
It has parts of the NCN8/Lon Las Cymru as well as bits from @platypus p-wales (what I deemed rideable in 28c and panniers). Paging some people that recommended routes in Wales before: @hippy @Tijs @Thrasher @andyfallsoff @pastry_bot @Gustav
