There is a great one that goes over the mountain at Aberdovey. Starts in Happy Valley finishes in Tywyn I did it in mine its quite tight in places and you will need a spotter to get you through.

"quite tight" is a bit of an understatement Long succession of Disco's since 2001...

Yeah ok perhaps in hindsight not everyones as stupid as me. It might be a bit scary for a newbie or even some one with a very shiney Disco,
I can't find the picture of the tight bit but heres a couple just to prove I was there

Don't do it if your worried about your paint work. although I came through without as much as a scratch.

Made it through un scathed , that was in my Defender though, had some fun on other tracks though where winching was a must
First pic is a nice one Paul, the dry stone walls bring back memories, IIRC the partner Landy burst a brake hose, so it was clamped with mole grips for the rest of the weekend Altox GSM FBH controller thread

Thanks chaps, my limited off roading has consisted of a tight track - dry stone wall on the one side with brambles on the other, came through it unscathed but must admit, was a bit too stressfull

If you want to spend some time 'cough' 'cough' on 'holiday' at Queenies expense you could alway go up Snowdon
It is reported in the press to be quite straight forward and not dangerous - just follow the railway line.A vaccine does not stop you catching a virus, or passing it on, or getting ill from it, really ill. It does reduce the likelyhood of you dying when really, really ill. Stay Alive - KEEP AWAY FROM PEOPLE.
