Strata Florida (Wales) - April 7th 2007 by Trugga on Sat Apr 07, 2007 7:05 pm
Took a drive out with GLASS today, following a discussion on the GLASS forum whereby a couple of members fancied a drive of Strata Florida but had not done it before. So I volunteered and was also accompanied by the GLASS rep for the area.

A crackingly good day out in the Easter sunshine:

As we had two vehicles (4 people) that had not driven it before, we really took our time driving the three mile lane - we started at 09:30 and finished about 13:30. Lots of stops for coffee and photo's - my kind of laning.

There was a lot of other traffic on the lane as well, that held us (and them) up as we pulled over to pass: 10 4x4's and about 14 motor bikes (not a single pedestrian).

The Wayfarer is approx 5 miles :D

Not sure how long the Gap is :roll:
