South Wales. It is only open for about 10 weeks a year. Do it from the south end as its nicer. Also it is a little tight.

Waiting for tyres and skid-plates (and suspension and ... ) but will keep an eye open ... would love to go!
Can this be tacked on to the day before or after Lincomb Farm by any chance (sorry - not too familar with what's close to what down that way!)

No as it will be closed then. It is only open twice a year. 4 weeks not and 5 weeks later in the year. I do have the dates somewhere.

Parts of southern Sarn Helen are closed and some are like the Gap, only open at certain times of the year. The Gap takes about 60-90 mins depending on how many times you stop to take pictures. Some lanes around SS are closed aswell. I do not know a lot about them. But the ones thro Waters Arena are oftern blocked by the land owner.
