Well, what can i say.

What a great trip out with some really nice people.

Thank you Luke and Carl for making it such a cracking trip, its always nice to put a face to a name :D

We met up at Pontabreham Services at 11.00 am, Carl was alredy waiting for me :roll:

The weather was fine, with a few spots of rain, but no downpours.

Image

Our first ford was Ffairfach. Quite fast flowing, but as with all the fords today, easily passable.

Next we moved on to Cilsan

Image

As you can see, another tree has been washed down since my visit last week. After a little discussion as to whether we should move the tree, we went through anyway :roll:

Luke in Cilsan

Next on to Capel Issac, not a lot of water in this one. Then on to Brechfa for a very satisfying slash through 8)

We stopped in Brechfa for a short break and a chat. Unfortunatly the pub was closed :cry:

Image

Image

Back to the route and we followed a couple of narrow winding lanes with a few splash throughs, that were quite fun. Then we doubled back on ourselves, drove through Brechfa ford once more before heading back to Pont Abreham for a coffee and a chance to talk about the day.

Image

Image

I still cant understand how Carl got so dirty :roll:

Luke and i were most dissapointed that we had nowhare near as much mud on our Frontys as Carl.

Image

Once again, a big thank you for turning up guys 8)
