Some cracking lanes there, are you going to do the trip in reverse later in the summer? Going up the, politically called the Machynlleth Loop or Horseshoe, is a lot more testing Whistle Now that the Sheepdip has been filled in at Bucknell it has taken a lot of the drama out of the lane but it's stopped a lot of the off piste activity.
We have so many great lanes on our doorstep and it's great to see them being used properly and with enjoyment.
As an aside, the LRM comic did a few at Rhayader then onto Strata Florida and Soar y Mynnd a month or so ago and they're in the latest edition(February) and next months copy will be on their next days laning taking in the Censored and a few others.

Might do chap, they want to do a trip in Summertime next, since past 2 trips were this time of year. We had planned a summer one but that went t1ts up when work sent me on a course!
I have done the Machynlleth Loop 'up' in my old Td5 90, definitely more challenging. And yes agreed with Sheepdip. Pheasant Pen Steps has been graded too, so that challenge has gone makes it more accessible to lesser vehicles though

you know those steps that looked like they nearly flipped the vehicles over when the brakes were anchored on, would it have made any difference if they just trickled down in 1st? Would that have been too fast? Gone horribly wrong?
