If you are relatively new to this forum and have not yet been laning, perhaps you would like to be lead by myself, an experienced laner and researcher/organiser of trips, sometime during the month of July.

Following the Green Lane Associations' guidelines, the group size will not exceed 4 vehicle, so with myself leading, that leaves 3 places available.

I have a route in mind that will take in Sarn Helen (Coed y Brenin), the gated Bala road, the Corwen Carwash if you want to give it a go, the Wayfarer and possibly White Stones - that should be a good day out. It will be a full day, starting at around 10am and finishing (I guess) at about 6pm. There will be plenty of stops for photos and of course coffee breaks.

Interested ?

There will be no cost to take part, other than your own fuel/food expenses.

Places available on a first come first served basis. Feel free to comment below.

Vote for your preferred weekend and I'll go with the majority.

Edit: Just to add that the lanes I have in mind are suitable for standard Fronteras (ie standard suspension) and while MT or AT tyres are not necessarily necessary (!!), a good depth of tread would be preferrable.

Lawrence
Hi Lawrence please could I put my name done for the forthcoming trip in July. Patsy :)

Hey Lawrence I dont want to pester for actual times and places but can you give us a hint on rough times you start and where you meet?

My lad will come and if its a few hours away and an early start i will find a B&b for the night before, want him fresh. so could do with knowing a rough area.
