  • Birthday weekender in Wales, 2006

    Birthday weekender in Wales, 2006

    Wales – December 2006

    As it was Phil’s birthday we had decided to spend the weekend in Wales for a bit of off-roading. We decided we would go back and try Llanerchindda farm (the last time we tried foot and mouth was declared the day we arrived). So I contacted them via E-mail and received a reply almost by return. I found that there were new owners, previously it had been owned and run by Nick “lets mortar a few sheep” Boynton but its now owned by Martin & lynne Haddley and their 2 sons Mark and Andrew.

  • Greenlaning weekend in Wales, Feb 2002

    Friday

    It’s 8th February and it’s 5 o’clock in the morning, time to get up and go. After all the frantic organising over the last few weeks it’s finally time to set off again for mid Wales. I had arranged to meet the 110 at Sainsbury’s Savacenter on the M25 at junction 22 at 5:30 a.m., guess I’m late already! After a quick shower and a few hurried goodbyes it’s off like a bat out of hell in the Rangie. Our party consists of 3 vehicles a 1976 Series III SWB diesel, a 1984 110 3.5V8 Station wagon and 1982 3.5V8 Range Rover and 7 people.

  • A weekend’s green laning in Wales (where a valuable lesson is learnt)!!

    When I first decided to organise a green lane trip to Wales I had no idea where to start. I had arranged with a friend to go away for a break and it was only after agreeing the date that we decided to try our hand at some green laning.
