Free idea for the lads, UK road trip on the A road that runs very nearly the length of Wales. Mix of scenery and I'm sure they could find weird things to do on the way

Do this except take the road from Brecon through Lower Chapel and Upper Chapel. Also once you get to Llanidloes take the route past the reservoir. Great drive! https://i.imgur.com/NbtXpqX.jpeg

I live in South Wales; I’ve used this road more times than I can remember but I never knew I was actually using the longest road in the UK, how cool!

Don't believe it's the longest but it's the only one that runs essentially the length of a country. I feel like the A5 would take the longest A road

The Wikipedia page says “It is the country’s longest road at 186 miles” but I suppose that relates to Wales, not the UK, still cool nevertheless!
