14/15th June 2014 Laning Wales

[jonbeck]

hey guys i may be interested if my mav's road legal by then, so if i could be put on a reserve list or somthing it would be great. i also have a cb :thumb2.
i think it would be great to explore, especially happy valley seeing as its only 20 mins away from me

Your both on the reserve list, Still not sure on weather to run a 2nd as I doubt it will go down well on the private lane.

I will let you guys know in advance though. Also not sure on happy valley as theres one part on a lane that's proper scary... Tempted either sat or sunday to stop somewhere for some pub grub similar to what we did last time or bbq/fire. So one of the days would be less laning than the other.

Reserve list:

Didn't even show the scary bit, all the other parts are easy.

Anyway, can't find the vid but a 4x4 rolled off the edge.

cool campsite.

I must admit a wild camp trip by the side of me truck sounds good.
I wouldn't have to carry a thing which means comfier tent and bed.:clap

cant afford to do that to my truck. I deffo would not be laffin.

at first I thought wot a plonker that road looks ok and easy enough.
its only right at the very end of the video you can see a big boulder on the left.
my center of gravity is higher than his too

It's easily navigated, I just think he was not concentrating enough. I know people who have done it in snow and ice.

So would I... still kinda want to do it though :augie

Reckon the Trol would manage it, I have faith in her :thumbs

Reckon the Trol would manage it,

You knows it :thumbs
Mine does :naughty

I think it was lack of concentration. From what I heard afterwards he has driven in loads of placed in different placed around the world in a 4x4 so was pretty experienced.

Although his tyres were pretty crap, not much that grips slippy rock though.

Wild camping (barrbeast & banshee)The place I was hoping to use a few mins from home has some wild? horses roaming about. My mate suggested this new location, It's about 15 mins away but a very nice spot. Went to check it out today:

Theres a bothy nearby too if weather is not favourable :thumb2
