The Top Gear team couldn't stop marvelling at the “magic” of the Welsh countryside, as they tackled a HGV challenge in the show's most recent episode. Paddy McGuinness, Chris Harris and Andrew ‘Freddie’ Flintoff drove alongside each other as they attempted to find out what it takes to be a HGV driver. Setting off on an adventure that took them across the United Kingdom, the group eventually found themselves in the Brecon Beacons in Wales. The team were spotted filming the series in Llanelli earlier this year.
“Look at this boys,” said Paddy as the group crossed the first Severn crossing into Wales. On the search of “proper open trucking roads”, the Top Gear gang had a challenging time navigating their HGV lorries through Merthyr Tydfil. Chris said: “This is tight,” upon making his way through the valleys town. Meanwhile, Freddie replied: “I feel like I’m on a constant hazard perception test.”
