Not very deep really. Maybe 2 foot high. Nothing like it's winter height.

Crossable, then! No way would I consider it if it was 'in flood' - too many tales of D3s floating downstream ... :roll:

Had a brill day some good challenging lanes and yep me and Harv found the car wash :mrgreen: there will be pics but I have a hard week at work next week so don’t know when I will get to them. :cry:
Just in case anyone missed it I HATE the sound of gorse on paint :evil: :evil: :headbang: :headbang:



Could be worse I could have a black disco…. :rasp:

Didn't get back till nearly midnight, so went to bed!

Fantastic Day Sunday - Just brilliant - Huge thanks to Paul and Kevin our illustrious Guides superb job. :thumbright:

Good to meet some new faces too :thumbright:

As you gather from Ian, we decided to head off to the Sea side for some chips :lol:

So up to Llandudno and a walk on the beech followed by probably the best fish and chips we have ever had. Seriously. The fish (Cod - don't normally like much) was stunning, moist, tasty and batter to die for. Perfect end to the day :shark:

Horseshoe pass was interesting - parked by the cafe to watch the sun go down - and listened to two bikes coming up the hill - they were going seriously quick :shock:

I'll post more when I've managed to sort through over 500 images :whistle:

Just want that thank Paul and Kevin for a fantastic weekend. Learnt soooooo much from their excellent advice and feedback. Really enjoyed the wild camping at the lake (apart from the midges :evil: :evil: :evil: I have lost count of the number of increadably ichy insect bites :evil: :evil: :evil:

More than anything else I enoyed the fantastic company of all those that attended over the 2 days. You really could not wish to meet a nicer bunch of people :thumbright:

Although I dont have a D3 anymore it was great to see them in action and they were fantastic. I have loads of pics and video of a number of cars and will post some of these soon. If any of those who attended want to pass on their e mail adresses to me I will forward any pics that are especially good.

Thanks to Bodsy for the invite I really apprecite it :thumbright:
and to everyone else for not making me feel like an outsider in my defener :thumbright:
and for the encouragement you gave me when I got stuck :thumbright:

This weeend has really wetted my appetite for laning and I would love the opportunity to do more. If any of you are organising ant trips and would like some company then please give me a shout.

Hope fully see you all again soon, looking forward to it already :D
