Shameless bumping there Mart, Its a good hour I would say, but then the Wayfairer is itself inbetween Corwen and the Mynd.

[alex]

Sorry about short reply, but tea called .

will look at times Friday, as Weave is going back to Wales, Bobbins fancies Wayfairer and looks like so does mart, we may take a return from the day via the wayfairer in the evening for those who fancy.

i must admit, I'm not experienced enough to do a river recovery so will not be taking you through the carwash, but if you fancy I can show you where.

Thats me in the pimp mobile doing the carwash last year before I got the beast. Nobody ran with a snorkle, trouble is as it was the only time I did it (my very first lane) I cant remember much about the river height etc, wouldnt want anyone floating off downstream ala Sandy in a Landy tried. Looks like might need to stock up on redbull for this one, gonna be a late one.

The Corwen Carwash

If you approach from the gated side, on the opposite bank (field side), a wooden fence runs down into the river (on your right). The fence has 4 rails. If 3 rails and 3 spaces are visible, the crossing is easy. If the water is touching the second (from bottom) rail, then I would say don't try and cross in a non snorkeled standard Frontera.

If the end of the 3rd fence rail is wet, you will by dragged down stream and have very damp carpets and probably seats.

Here's the crossing I did with Sandy (we went first) with the water between the 2nd and 3rd fence rail: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7JGu4ncZ3w

If he dont make it round now it has propper boots on I'm firing him. Besides no little rocks to jump out and bite here.

This kinda gives you the idea of the flow that day

[perfectprincess]

you pro's are doing nothing for my confidence pics quite scarey

[Drift]

Dont worry, if its to high, they will turn back, its quite exhilarating the first time, just let someone go first if you have never done it before, just remember if you stall DONT try to restart and try not to change gear, usually on at Corwen 2L is fine.

Just check the Marks we posted for the depth

No worries, here's a vid of 3 STANDARD Fronteras doing the Corwen Carwash (and the Wayfarer) without any problems:

You don't have to drive the river crossing if you don't want to, there is a long way round.
