We all met up just outside Chirk, and began our journey North.
second lane of the day was Corwen carwash, which was about 4ft deeper the last time i saw it.
was quite misty and cloudy up in the Welsh mountains.
some of the lanes were very overgrown and didnt look like they had been driven for a while.
more stupidly overgrown lanes.
the next lane is a great one, once youve waded through a foot of slurry to open the gate.
camped on a camp site the first night.
strung a tarp between the trucks to keep us sheltered from the rain while we ate and drank.
nice early start the next day, and back on the lanes.
nice lane next to a castle next.
day was a bit wet and very cloudy.
through a slate quarry.
it was about mid way through day 2 that my alternator decided to stop working.
very tight gates.
this lane was quite tight in places.
next lane was one that no one in the group had driven before.
that hole in the undergrowth was the start of the lane.
10 feet into the undergrowth was a tight gate way.
nice lane, didnt look like it had been driven recently.
very tight bridge.
followed by another tight gate.
first view of the sea.
happy valley next.
a lot of drainage ditches have recently been dug up there, so theres no longer any deep water troughs to splash through.
before we were even on happy valley id told the others that i liked the lane, apart from the one section where its quite narrow, with a rock step, and a big drop on the one side.
never have liked it, never will.
i told them ive always been terrified of going off the edge.
so what do we find when we get there....................................
some poor bugger in a disco has slipped off the track and rolled his vehicle off the edge.
apparently it had taken the group over an hour to get it back on its wheels.
thankfully the chap walked away from it without any injuries.
very lucky especially as there was high lift jacks and other bits and pieces flying around in the back of the truck.
will finish the trip report tomorrow as im super tired now after 3 days of driving for 10 hours.
