Wales 2015 Discovery 4 3.0 SDV6 SE Tech Auto Firenze RedDiscovery 4

Lanes starting from Capel Bangor then around complex of lanes around Nantymoch ending with Strata Florida.

If weather is good expect stunning views

Suitable for standard cars, we have at least 1 maybe 2 Freelander 2s coming. West Wales Section Discovery Owners Club

Difficulty of lanes / likelihood of damage? I have some laning experience in the Lakes and NY Dales. Set up with some underbody protection, but no sliders (only shiny tubes). There are two rules for success,

Lanes are simple to moderate mostly rocky with some water crossings which should be shallow as we have had a good few days without rainfall. Rocky sections should not cause problems if driven sensibly.

Lanes are mostly open but there is a short section of Strata which passes through some trees and can be scratchy when overgrown but at this time or year should not be a problem.

One section of Nantymoch can be badly washed out and was repaired about a year ago but the wet winter could have undone this. We have plenty of spotters on hand should assistance be required. West Wales Section Discovery Owners Club

Only just seen this! Unfortunately can't make it as I'm tied up playing wheelchair basketball all day! I'm gutted as it sounds like your going up to my part of the world (Nant y Moch), our farm's mountain is up there! If your organising another event I would try my best to come. Again, very jealous!

Sorry but you missed an absolutely brilliant day.

The sun shone almost non stop and the sky was almost cloudless
