The only way they would have done that there, was to have driven off of the ROW.
I would have throught the water would have been a little to high to drive it this weekend?
But glad you had a good time. A friend was down that way this weekend, he was in a LR double cab.

Mark?
We were on the Strata on Saturday, we were in Happy Valley today (did it both ways) and yes it rained last night, floods everywhere this morning.
We just found them near the start of Strata, we could not see any reason why they were on their sides. They were in the way we started to move them and their owners turned up and even after they said what happened, we still could not work out it out, as you say if you had been driving normally on the ROW it could not have happened. |

they had to go on the bank to avoid bikers coming in the opposite direction as we came across them yesterday.

We could not work out what happened at all, there were know marks on the grass that you could see and to find two trucks on their side was very strange 
At the time I never heard any mention of bikes, just one truck fell trying to recover the other one that had fell, maybe we will never know what really happened.
Wow Tony, we must have just missed each other, we were in the Happy Valley from around 09-00 to 11-00.
Saturday Night was amazing for rain, I cannot remember the last time I have seen so much for so long, I don't think it stopped all night, glad I was tucked up in the Landcruiser 
I'm always keen on trips to Wales, maybe we could have another small group trip in a few months?? |

Hi, we passed two cruisers as we left rhayader,12 ish,one swb prado,and an 80,otherwise saw nobody.`We hit Happy valley 3 ish,just brilliant.
The lads i go with ,go every month,i am away nov and dec,but be back in jan for more welsh action.We,ve been out in snow earlier this year ,camping on a hill above knighton, snow was horizontal.We were all stood around a huge fire,passsing a bottle of jd, and mugs of hot mulled wine.Just great.
Cheers.Tony. |

That was us I guess, we were there about then, me and Andrew although I was in a blue LWB not a SWB, were you in a group of maybe 6-8 or so with a few very modded offroaders? Andrew was in the 80 who had a mag mount on the bonnet with a red arial, I was behind in the blue 90. |
