For late October having 11 Syncros and their occupants on site was very good, Friday night was triffic around campfire, bit O'Moonlight, no wind, no rain, almost mild, and just like in summer the usual culprits were still basting around the embers at 3 am, (allegedly).
2 groups did a few minor lanes then Strata Florida Saturday, about as wet as you'd want it, depth-wise, challenging occasionally, but a great area to drive through once in your life!
Wet Sat night, but after grub and freshening up (!), the Syncronauts shelter tent took 12 or 13 at times, again till 3-00 am. I was told
Dry Sunday and some superb local lanes over to Lake Vyrnwy, taking in some very pretty but wet tracks, a river crossing with a fair current flowing and some un-recced stuff that had us first walking a long boggy climb out when we realised there was definitely no going back!
Top stuff... wind and a bit of rain arrived again as we departed campsite 5-30.
Thanks to Aidan and Doug for suggesting this meet and getting some lanes recce'd for us.... think everyone thought it well worthwhile and that we should do it at this time of year again - just when these cracking Welsh lanes are at their most challenging without being un-passable?
PS. Loads of raptors swooping and soaring about, high and low, incredible amount of roadkill too, mainly pheasant...
