Paul, if its been raining most of the lanes in that area will be in the state mentioned in the earlier posts, its a very wet bit of Wales
Whats been posted is normal, they can get a lot worse, its just best be prepared and not splash quickly through the wet sections as you could get the water where you dont want it also you do not know if there are big rocks, drops or sharp slate under the water.
Take things easy and slowly most unmodified trucks will cope very well.

This was not high when we crossed the car wash on this occasion but the guy in the white car simply went into the water too fast and sucked water into his engine (hydro-locked it)

Every one of the lanes mentioned by me have been done in my bog standard un lifted B series with standard air box. So no need to worry mate

Going ot again
There was big kick off about that, he was lead across by a commercial company that charged customers £25 a go to lead around free lanes and Ive seen him take 9 cars out He should not have took them across just because his kitted up LR made it the standard Jeep didnt and wrecked it.

He went quiet for a while then came back under a different name

Bloody hell Paul. Unbunch your undies fella.

Splashy lane, Conquering hero and obviously the Carwash all have have water on them over 9 inches, significantly more in fact. I also made it abundantly clear that my unmodded Dti (which is the same car stretch has ) coped with all of them with no issues.

Splashy lane and the Carwash are not extreme. They were both on my first 'Newbie Greenlaning day' organised by Phil. The same guy organising the lanes for this weekend.

Paul was not looking to offend you or upset you mate The way i read your post it seamed that you was saying that water crossings was going to 9 inch max high. As you have now pointed out what you mean all makes sense
As for the chat about deep water crossings and pics its just a bit a fun mate

Im well looking forward to this! I just hope nothing brakes on the truck before hand (fan belt has just started squeeling like a pig at anything above idle )

[BoxCleva]

Have you changed the tensioner Dan ? My house is only 25 mins from the camp site and you are welcome to use my drive/tools for any repairs required. (as is anyone else for that matter)

[bobbinsjob]

this is the carwash in a non lifted truck

[BoxCleva]

I've never done it from that direction Ian. Stevd has though as he forgot to shut the gate at the other side and had to go back

Ok my status on this trip
I have had a few problems with work( with the current industry)but I have just starded a new job

So Its going to be a last minute decision if I go,as I just need someone to cover my role at work,(I dont mind paying the Deposit though to secure my place )

If I go, which,I think it will be at a 95% chance I will be My truck will not be taking part in the off road laning trip,so I will be just be going for the social event,as I have neglected my truck for the last 4 months and have not done any repairs... well only one

But if I get cover at work and can go, Si (cleverclogs) can borrow my bash plates,we will just swop them on site so he can play and I will just jump in with someone!
