Looks fun, take it you did Corwen, how is it and is the barb wire threat gone?

p.s. green with envy looks great.

[LEEKSIGNS1]

hi
yes we did corwen it was pretty high and fast flowing, i went through twice to get a video done and on the last cross managed to get a bit of water somewhere and caused a bit of spluttering. the barb wire has gone by the looks of things, have you known it deeper or not, first time id been through it.
v-gully was nice and wet as were the pheasent steps but all good fun.

I have only done it with Drift last year, at the time it was high, but given some of the floods weve had recently Ive heard its been a lot higher and people have used it.

Wayfairer is a really pleasant drive, looks like a great day, hope to get some lanes in next month, getting bored here at home...

[LEEKSIGNS1]

yeah id be up for more lanes let me know if you plan on going somewhere.
i wouldnt like to go through if it was any deeper unless i was fully watertight.
the wayfarer was a steady drive i mainly enjoyed v gully white stones and pheasent steps.

[gavrob1981]

I agree the v gully was ace, i only wish we had of had enough time to do the route again but in the opposite direction, may be next time,

I you fancy the drive up again Mat, have a look at Tims post,

I am deffinatly putting new pluggs and leads on before the 24th, esspecially if starts to rain.

[LEEKSIGNS1]

hi gav
whats happening on the 24th?
yeah next time go down the gully it is alot harder to straddle it, i had to go down on me side in my suzuki. due to sliding down into the gulley.

[Drift]

Some times it gets even deeper

[Red Oktober]

you'd have to be suicidal to try that

[LEEKSIGNS1]

yeah to right

Not me, but I was a passenger with Sandy In A Landy... we went through first, then videoed the others...

As Sandy's 90 is a "van" and therefore much lighter, we were swept downstream to almost 90 degrees and had drive nback up to the exit ramp. A bit scary was that.
