Title: Sarn Helen
Post by: Tank on January 20, 2005, 11:11:16 PM
In this months Total Offroad magazine there is what looks to be a really good offroad/greenlane route down between the Brecon Beacons and the Black Mountains.Although only 33.3 miles they have put a time on of 5 hours and it looks quite a challenge and i wondered if we could get a few off us together and try it out so if you might be interested let me know,along with some suitable dates. 8)

In the light of current anti stuff its better that no more than 3-4 go at one time methinks

i dont think the number is an issue if we are druving respectfuly to the landowners and the sufaces

The other option would be to split into small groups with a staggered start and have prearranged rest spots.  That way more people would have the joy of navigating and help is never more than a short distance ahead or behind.

I led a group of 6 Jeeps on the Ridgeway Road Book last autumn and it was difficult to keep together turning out into traffic.

Sounds like a damn fine idea to me.

Might give the red sock brigade less to moan about :D  :supz:

If this one goes ahead, would it be OK if I bring along a couple of friends that seem interested (Disco! and a Trooper! :vom:  ) ???
