I must say that that was a good day out.

Not quite a laning session but more of a mooch. Ive not driven the Mynd before, in fact I've never been over it before in my life and it was a big surprise to be on those little mountains so far away from the Welsh mountains.

Mind you, it was very misty in the morning, but as the day went on the sun must oh been shining as it burn off the mist eventually and even the rain had stopped by 16:00 ish.

Got home ok, with no further EML issues and have again refitted the drivers window onto it's slide.

Will sort out some piccies in a mo.

Have had the BEST day, despite a bit of rain. Was a bit worried about the water crossings, but thanks to Phil, who pushed me (and sat in the car with me on the first one) I did it, and was really very pleased with myself

Thanks guys

Here you go then, although I've only selected 31 of them...









This lane was blocked by the Astra estate, although we chatted with the house owner who said we could move it - a walk down the lane suggested it was impassable without tree cutting equipment, so we turned around and left it as it was:












Alex got stuck in this

Harvey chilling while the car is bouncing about all the place,

and finally, it was an exhausting day for someone, those of you that know him, know he never lays down in the car, bless him, he is zonked on the couch right now,

Of course, I was taught by the master

That is such a spot on picture darling,the left hand limb on the living tree is following near on the same angles as the vertical stump,it show the beauty of nature with a sense of solitude,excellent camera work,well done

[Road Hog]

I just like all the different levels of natural light reflectance in this one and the car disappearing into the distance leaving scarcely a trace of its passing

[Trugga]

Why thank you David Bailey - 'twas just the camera at arms length out the drivers window

Some video screen grabs of the first river (stream) crossing
