Nice area, Râmnicu Vâlcea.

Transalpina territory, its almost a shame that they asphalted it...

Indeed, our area is full of beautiful trails. The most famous is Transalpina, but the Strategic Road, for example, remained wild, unpaved.
With your permission, I attach some pictures of the above-mentioned routes below, from the time when Transalpina was only partly asphalted. At that time I was driving a Nissan Patrol K160. I hope not to be considered a traitor

 

[clivehorridge]

Very nice too, I recognize most of those views from the last time I drove it.

You certainly don’t need my permission to post photos, and we’ll forgive you for driving a troll, they certainly have my respect!

 

[oldcarsmaniac]

I can say that the Capatanii Mountains are our playground, being crossed by trails for all tastes.
You have below some pics from a trip on Folea Peak and Manzu river...

 

[oldcarsmaniac]

Now, if you have forgiven me for owning Patrols in the past, I still post some pictures from a trip made on the hills to the east of the city, to Curtea de Arges and a slight climb on Cozia peak, which offers a dreamlike view. It was a Patrol owners meeting, in fact, but I'm sure you'll like the view.

 

[clivehorridge]

Ive just googlies the www.whitewolves.ro website, but sadly it comes up unavailable.

Lovely photos, maybe we can meet up sometime.

Unfortunately I’m in Bucharest during the week and even further away in Comarnic at weekends...

If ever you’re up this way...

 

[oldcarsmaniac]

In the end, I'll post pictures of my LJ78 and after that, I'll try to start a buil tread...

The pleasure to meet you will be mine.
Unfortunately the website will be unavailable until this spring. Anyway, you can watck some movies and pictures on fecebook, searching for white wolves off road club or white wolves offroad tours.
Hope to meet you soon and thanx again for the welcome!

Picking up tips for my next visit Clive?

 

[clivehorridge]

I like that, a slight climb, Cozia Peak is close on 1700m

Great photos and I love the Olt Valley area, very beautiful and unspoiled...

Maybe Nick, the trouble is, that area is a fair treck from our place, Curtea Arges that Tavi mentioned is at the southern end of the Transfagarasan

Damn! I must have my rig ready for the spring/summer, guys! If you decide to meet in my area, I'd love to keep you company at least for a day! Treat on me (I bet you heard about palinca already)
