Wales Trails

Me and some of the the lads had a fantastic weekend in the Brecon area of Wales doing lanes with name like " The lane from hell " , " The Gap " ,
" Bates Motel " , "Church steps" and more ...

Here is a short clip of driving the Gap,

Re: Wales Trails

I always wanted to have a drink of water during a crossing like the " Bush Tucker man "did during his series .

Re: Wales Trails

I don't think this sort of thing should be done. Unless I am there to take part.

Re: Wales Trails

You get 5 minutes of peace and open space? I go 30 feet and I hit another driveway! Usually with a Range Rover in it!

You and the lads ... does that mean that there are no girls allowed?

If that is so than I can't join in on one of those weekends since my girlfriend loves taking the G out on back country roads like that as well and she would kill me if I would take off on my own.

It sure looks like you had some fun out there. Great video and pictures!

Thanks for sharing,

NorthseaRoughneck
