Love the pictures Paul!!! Would loved to have come along, maybe next time!! Where was the dam??? And what happened at the locked gate, did you have to re-route??? Think I would probably have made the route with the *beep* Marshalls on at the moment, but will feel more confident when I get some Cooper STT's. Any chance you could email me the route please???? Thanks, Rob.

There were lots of Dams Laughing

but all were around the Elan Vally.

PM me an email addressand I can send the routes over tomorrow.

As for the gate, yes we rerouted and I have reported it and waiting for a reply. But its never been locked before.

Judging by the pictures. It looks like a great time was had by all.
I shall certainly make the effort to trundle up from Devon if you run another trip.
I'm sure your efforts in organising the trip were appreciated.

We do normally, our runs are very popular in the club and usually overfill within a day or two of posting and have to be locked off at a dozen or so, then we could go off in different directions of groups of between 4 and 6 but there was only 7 of us this time so we stuck together. That lane in the photos was done by only 5 of us, 3 winched ourselves over the worst and two with difflocks actually managed to drive it all, the others went round and met up with us Beulah. Fantastic weekend and the weather was superb Very Happy

Yes that lane is driveable if you have front and rear lockers, if its dry.
