Think it all stemmed from Tom of the farm promising us sole use of the place and not delivering; caused a bit of frustration; especially the bikes whizzing around, through the night and without any consideration for camp grounds or the kids in it.

Our second SPD and something we learnt a fair bit from.

Only just got my doka and need some off road rubber, if you can wait a few weeks I would love to tag along. Please count me in on any future developments. I live on Gower which is as its an AONB can be difficult, but have a few cards up my sleeve. Will let you know if I can come up with something. Cheers

hi chaps.


TBH S wales lanes looks like a no goer. So many TROs etc etc its gonna be LOTS of road driving for very little/nil off road reward.

Have been researching off road 'pay and play' sites.

Would anyone be interested in this?

SimonTMT and myself recceed Seven Sisters site a few years ago, went along to a Jeep club weekend, camping was off site at campsites not great for us, big site but more suitable for crawlers and challenge vehicles, not really our cup of tea we thought; so big you really need local guides who know the site well which we had then, but would make for expensive weekend which would need big turnout to break even or share with another club - Jeep club go there generally same weekend we have syncropendence

I know seven sisters(Walters Arena as its known locally) like the back of my hand.

Have got pics somewhere of crossing the big lake in LR.

The lower part Sarn helen cuts thr it (Banwen to Neath). All the rest it actually private ground owned by Walters mining/quarrying.
