It was a cracking day out, allthough a lot of driving and a lot of rain in so much there was not much socialising - but when the rain paused we make good use of the break and had a right old laugh.

Right then, onto the piccies (screen grabs):

The Gap Road

Lawrence is first to try the ravine on the Gap Road (steep is'nt it):

that looked awesome when you next going i wanna give it a try!!!

...when you next going...

The Gap Road closes on the 15th October due to it's seasonal TRO, but and it is a big but, the Welsh Government meet on the 1st November to discus the NERC Act (that came into effect in England earlier this year) - It is therefore most likely that the Gap Road (being a RUPP) will be closed to motorised vehicles for good from 7th November.

Bottom line: The Gap Road will be closed from 15th October.

Now, what am I doing next weekend ?
