Took a drive out with GLASS today, following a discussion on the GLASS forum whereby a couple of members fancied a drive of Strata Florida but had not done it before. So I volunteered and was also accompanied by the GLASS rep for the area.
A crackingly good day out in the Easter sunshine:
The rest of the pictures are here

As we had two vehicles (4 people) that had not driven it before, we really took our time driving the three mile lane - we started at 09:30 and finished about 13:30. Lots of stops for coffee and photo's - my kind of laning.
There was a lot of other traffic on the lane as well, that held us (and them) up as we pulled over to pass: 10 4x4's and about 14 motor bikes (not a single pedestrian).

IIRC Strata Florida is approx 3 miles.
The Wayfarer is approx 5 miles
Not sure how long the Gap is
