You all know about the NERC Act and the fact that 60% of all our "green
lanes" have been closed in England and are about to be shut down in Wales,
right? This all happened for no reason other than pure spite and
misinformation.
Well Sunday 15th October is the very last day that the Gap Road (between
Brecon and Pontsticill) will be open to drive in a 4x4 - ever! It has
occurred to some that a final protest drive would be a) fun and b) leave us
with the feeling that at the least we made our feelings known. If you've not
driven the Gap then you don't know what you've missed and this is your last
chance to experience it, it really has some seriously stunning views.
There's also lot of other nice lanes in the area to be driven if you would
like to.
The Gap is non-damaging, the only tricky bits being the Tor Glass
"staircase" and the blown bridge at the Pontsticill end; a standard LC with
good AT's or MT's will probably be OK. I can point you in the direction of a
short video of my LC ascending the staircase if you'd like to judge for
yourselves. Oh to hell with it! - the video is here (sorry about the sound
- it was VERY windy):

The question is - is anyone interested in joining in.
This is not a definite trip at the mo, just a (rather late) idea so you
would not be committing yourself.
Thanks.
