"The Gap", Brecon Beacons - September

[Drift]

The 2cv's were going the opposite to us but yes the same route.

Great stuff Lawrence your vids just get better, even though due to the wet weather and time ect not much footage could be caught.

For the record folks I started driving 0630 and got home 0130 knackered but well worth it

Lovely looking roads lads, well done Anyone wanna take a sicky next week?

Sorry Ste, I don't think the videos from YouTube can be legally copied to your PC. That's why I and many others use these video hosting site - I've heard of people who have found their video work for sale on ebay as part of a compilation, having had it ripped off of their websites.

I'll add that, and the other FOG videos I've done, to the P&P DVD that I've still to complete - that way you'll get the full TV quality.

Ok, thanks to Ste, I've uploaded a selection of Pauls photos:

Lawrence climbing out of the gully


Dave starting his descent...


...and up the other side


Ste starting his descent


4x 4x4 2CV's (they were just as surprised to see Vauxhalls as we were to see Citroens on the lane)


Paul posing for himself


Whilst Lawrence assists 4 TRF bikers with a flat tyre, Dave tries to fix the gas pump


Ste, not wanting to climb out the window again...


...but Paul manages to get out and stretch his legs


The compulsory group shot.


Excellent photo's Paul - most of which I did'nt even know you had taken.

Paul was a bit , how shall we say, unnoticable with the camera
Some cracking shots though.
A couple put that gully in perspective, its huge.
Youve all seen enough of my backside
The water around the car where we stopped was to deep and it doesnt look it, too far from the bank, if Steve and me tried to get out we would have fallen in and that photo would have been priceless

Hi Lawrence, Ste, Steve & Paul, now know why I struggled up that grass bank and nearly got stuck on the GAP.
I`ain`t got four wheel drive(unless I engage front difflock)!!
It had been playing on my mind since last weekend, so I went over Cannock Chase and tried it out, sure enough engaged 4WD and only rear wheel spun on back up a wet bank.So no 4WD!!!
Engaged difflock and it climbed over bank.Therefore I must have done most of last weekend in two wheel drive.
Will let you know what the problem is when/ if I fix it, can`t do it at the mo cus I`m on call for 10 days.
Nice lift Lawrence and nice piccy`s Paul/ Lawrence.
Difflock Dave.

Well that would explain the spinning rear wheels we could see, thought it wasnt right , seemed to be spinning too much.
Show what a decent car it is doing most of that lot in 2wd.
I hope its not an expensive repair.

[lotusfrontera]

Me too!!!
I`ll let you know what I find in a week or so.
Glad you noticed something a miss Steve, but I was definately in 2WD on those hairpins!!!!!!!!!!!!!
