Wales -Off roading Sunday 13th April

Posted by ROCSTAMAN on April 14, 2008 at 4:48 AM

Had a great day out 2 Rocs and a Land Rover-shame the Land Rover couldnt go the distance and had to retire with a bent drag link bar-but it is what we Rocsta owners have come to expect

Good to finally meet the 2 amphibians, Steve and Alan

Started at Banwen at 10am had a play in mudpools and some hill- climbing-going down one hill was fun -nearly tipped Roc but not quite-cause-no ballast in passenger seat!

Cheers,Bear

Then up to Sarn Helen down the Steps and stopped for lunch-unfortunately a rash of Suzukis turned up so had to cut lunch short-didnt want them to be left with feelings of inadequacy,etc

We then headed off for Strata but I missed turning for Llandovery ( early senility )so back to Banwen for a play and then home for a cuppa  in the Rocsta Inn and about 6pm Steve and Alan headed back to Hereford

Oh,my mini  -snorkel was not a great success! See picbelow-will be making a proper one very soon-yes thats muddy water and it was full!

Land Rover got home safely you'll be pleased to know

After a bit of a drive down, Alan and I finally met the Rocstaman in the flesh. <br> <br>The day was eventful, with lots of water and a broken Land Rover, makes you proud to have such a reliable vehicle as a Rocsta! <br> <br>Managed two plays around Banwen and a drive on Sarn Helen 2, all good fun, just need to raise the Rocsta up a little to get over them nasty bump. The winch proved to be invaluable once again and the snorkel finally proved its worth and convinced Rocstaman that it might be worth having something similar. <br> <br>Looking forward to putting together a route in our area, for when you all come to visit our lanes, though you better have snorkels…. <br>
