The Gap
Did The Gap today, my first time as well. Went south to north, followed a few green ovals at the start, the look of surprise on their faces when I came through the first tricky section was a sight
No piccies as today was a quickie but liked it soo much going back tomorrow. Its only 30mins drive from my house and it closes Mon so gonna make the most of it. There were quite a few walkers, mountain bikes and trail riders, one cheeky lad on a mountain bike asked my if I was looking for the motorway and was my sat nav confused
The steps were interesting 
Anyone done it north to south up the steps  Soon to be without a Frontera after 10 years of owning one
Only ever done it down the steps, but a load of citreon 2cv's 4 wheel drive
 went up that way honest.
My xar was standard when I went up save for some macho tyres and it was a great lane

It is, its looks even better from behind the steering wheel
Another reason why I asked about going north - south as you have to climb it
Was very wet and slippery today, classic welsh weather 
There again if a 4x4 2cv can then defo gonna give it a go Soon to be without a Frontera after 10 years of owning one
Revisited yesterday, again on my own so went South-North
Came across a few others, there was a Disco and Jeep Wrangler going up the steps, Disco made it look hard work but was a walk in the park for the Jeep
Views up there are stunning, plenty of walkers again, most were friendly but one was not impressed to see a 4x4 and made a few gestures suggesting my truck was polluting their air
Will do it again when it opens in the spring, but North-South next time Soon to be without a Frontera after 10 years of owning one
They were great, although the gap is mostly stone, the start at the south end (think its called broken bridge) was quite muddy last weekend with lots of big rocks chucked in.
It went through it no problem, made the LR guys smile when it got up the other side
Toms Farm was a more severe test and yes I got stuck but so did everybody in that section, plugged through other bits that peeps were avoiding with no problems
Would I buy them again, defo but did see a set of Insa Special Track in action and was mighty impressed 
Gonna look for s SWB toy after Christmas, will probably put Insa's on that as they are cheeper than the Kumho's and stick with Kumho's on the LWB Still can't get over how quiet they are for a mud tyre Soon to be without a Frontera after 10 years of owning one
told ya they were quiet on road
I've only got stuck where the LR's and everyone else gets stuck (even if they have lockers and lsd's)
WHAT I CANT HEAR YOU OVER MY COLWAYS

How many miles you done on yours now Soon to be without a Frontera after 10 years of owning one

Damage report
While descending what I think is called Broken Bridge there was a lound bang at the bottom as metal made contact with rock
Checked over at the time and seemed to be ok
Changing over the wheels last night and noticed that the sump guard is bent
No other damage and it hasn't gone up far enough to damage anything else, just glad it did its job Soon to be without a Frontera after 10 years of owning one
Mine looks like someone has been at it with a lump hammer Ste
