Hi folks,
Hopefully this is the right place to stick up some piccys of the trip. Somefriends and I have just done to visit a few of the lanes around Bwylch and Rhayder (I think I've spelt those correctly) in deepest, darkest Wales.
There were 4 vehicles in all - a '68 Lightweight, a "Series 3" V8, Clarky's Paj and my Vehicross. As ever, the Japs gave a little away in terms of ground clearance (especially true of mine) but came away with only one worklight and 6 zipties worth of damage whereas the Landys needed a new throttle cable, new throttle springs, a dicky starter motor and some rather dodgy intermittent electrical faults between them. Oh yeah, and the passengers in the Japs were significantly less rattled about!
Here are some of the highlights:-
