The Blue Brother's N.Wales Mooch

Following a spur of the moment decision on this forum yesterday afternoon, Driftwood & Trugga met up in north Wales for a bit of a mooch.

Trugga had done part of one lane with Fusion a few months back, but we carried on (instead of turning right) to see what was out there.

Actually, it was rather good.

As the scenic shot shows, it is all down hill, following a rather rampant stream, with run-off crossing your path from the field.

The surface is prodominantly rocky/statey and presents little angled challenges along it's length.

Having explored anothe UCR we turned round and followed our tyre tracks back to the meeting point. It was actually more "fun" going uphill.

It certainly was good fun, with the added bonus of toppling over into a stream if you slid sideways on the wet rock :shock:

Oh and the obligitory jaunt to the wayfarer sunnit of course as it would be rude not to.

Here's a bit of video from parts of our trip. Not as big a production as other vid's, but gives you an idea of some of the terrain.
