FRIDAY Laning OpportunityI'm wondering about starting the laning weekend a little earlier on Friday morning, with the intention of driving
The Gap Road, which as you may or may not know is subject to a seasonal Traffic Regulation Order). The TRO is currently lifted until the road closes again at the end of March (until the autumn)
Starting off in Merthyr Tydfil at say 11:00, we'll take an hour to drive
The Gap Road and then travel 40 road miles and drive
Strata Florida. Another 40 mile road section will bring us into Machynlleth and the camp site that is then down the road for about 18:00.
As a
GLASS member, I will not lead a group of more than 4 vehicles, and with two others showing an interest in joining me, there is one space available:
1. Trugga
2. Postfinder
3. Weave67
4. Sir Doris
The Gap Road is relatively easy with the exception of the Blown Bridge, where there is a long and steep descent and ascent and the very rocky descent of the gap its' self.
Strata Florida is generally easy going with the exception of all those river crossings - therefore, I would not like to be encouraging standard Fronteras or inexperienced drivers.
This detour will add approximately 90 miles onto the weekend away, once you have gotten to the starting point near Merthyr Tydfil.
Anyone else want to join us ?
