I am just sat here going over the overlays on memory map for the weekend :D
Would people want to do strata on the sat which is south of the Rhayader and the camp site or do it on the sunday??
The reason i ask is the sunday is normally a shorter days laning due to traveling home :wink:
The other set of lanes are north west of Rhayader toward devils bridge and heading north if that makes sense :wink:
What do people think???

Saturday will be a full days laneing 10am to 5pm :wink: But we can finish earlier if people want :?:
Sundays finishing time will depend on the group you are in :wink: You can finish when you want :wink:
The other thing to consider is, do people want to drive strata in both directions????

I been looking on YouTube at all the strata vids and I can't see any that would greatly need a snorkel for? Even the bombhole doesnt look too bad when flooded? Any one got any links or pics to some really deep water? Hopefully no snorkel required! :)



It can be this deep :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

If we did Strata in both directions we could arrange for the two groups to meet up in the middle somewhere for lunch maybe? this way one group can start at one end and the other well...at the other, no problems with congestion and it means that we have all tackled the same obstacles. ie no arguing "well your way was easier" :)

HELP :shock: I think I'm gonna die!

As for what we do when, I'll follow what you say, whatever you thinks best.
I do like the idea of meeting up midway for a spot of lunch. :thumbup:
