Maybe a days laning and then a overnighter on the Strata? Beer + BBQ?
Anyone fancy it? |

Despite the fact that sounds crazy, I'd like to do something like that. Unfortunately too many family commitments and little people under the age of 5!

Whatever night people want it?
I have a large amount of hard wood to burn (In a contolled manner) for heat 
Bet it will be raining anyway, but hopefully it will be night to remember |

The wetter the better. I'm no fine weather wheeler.
I could be interested in a bit of extreme camping.

Just curious, I've only driven Strata once so can't remember where there's a large enough area for some spread out camping?
If anyone wanted to include some more northern lanes (even extend to 3 days 2 nights?) I know of a cracking wild camping spot just north of Dolgellau 
Just throwing some idea's around
Jim

There is a spot which I have camped on before, it's not very friendly for ground tents though because the grasses are like bamboo.
I have been on a lot of routes around Mid Wales which I have in Memory Map but even with that I still have know sense of direction until finding the start of a route 
Paul Humphreys knows the area very well, we maybe able to tap him up for some current legal routes  |

Yes, it would have to be all above board and legal. I always like to know that I am in the right before hitting an angry Crag-Rat over the head with a tyre lever.

Mark and I are going to mid Wales on Friday night. Staying in a b&b then driving some lanes on Saturday, depending on what’s flooded.should be interesting .

I know a number of routes and could certainly help with planning. I've been collecting LandRanger maps recently too I don't think it's fair to drag Paul into organising when he hasn't even expressed an interest in joining us yet!

Thinking more of checking with him that there still legal, things change so quickly
Do you have Memory Map Jim? |
