Dave's "S200KYS" Jimny 'laner Build...

That flooded lane that Darren went down seemed like It was never going to end!

Yes, he's mad (keen!) :lol:

Yesterday, Sunday the 07/04/19 we - Alan, Darren and me - went out for our third Sunday wander, as Brett has labelled us a "Splinter Group" but was more me wanting to get out locally for shorter days whilst I weaned myself back into greenlaning after my dodgy health patch this year since having Pneumonia and spending most of January in hospital...

Anyway, we meat as usual at the WhistleStop Cafe for another wonderful breakfast -



To drive -



... basically to Llanwrst and back taking in all the greenlanes we could along the way

The first (and last) 'lane of the day was 'Moe;fre' -



Ummm, Yup, it's in there somewhere!



Darren had never driven this one yet, so Alan said we'd send him in first as a treat! :lol:

I didn't take many photos again this trip, I'll link Darren's YouTube Video in wen it's up, but here's a few stills from it of me climbing up the (two foot) step in the middle of the 'lane...









Exiting at the top of the 'lane -



Next, 'Pant idda' -



The trench section in the middle :woohoo:



There's a series of "Jimny Gates" along the way!



Our Alan clearing the 'lane of debris and heading to open the last gate...



A few more 'lanes along the route and we were thwarted by this one, we could have winched through the quagmire, but rather than make more of a mess we chose to turn back and head for many other passable 'lanes we had planned fr the day



Further along the route, climbing up above Eglwysbach...



And a fallen tree blocks are way slightly...



Soon cut and tidied away...



Walking back to S200KYS, he's a beauty, makes me smile all the time

Continued >>>

And up to the top where we exit the 'lane via someone's back garden!! :dry:



We stopped at "Pennant" for a nosey, still closed pending repair works... the latest poster says it's closed until October...



On we go! Plenty more 'lanes to enjoy...



Ah, that looks a bit low? I drive up to it as Alan spots for me... we'll get under...



After a bit of topiary with the trusty cordless chainsaw!



Darren coming through behind



Next 'lane!



And Darren gets a large log jammed up around his transfer box and props! Sp we cut the end of with chainsaw and limp to harder standing to...



... effect a repair! Alan and I take it in turns with a hand saw...



... until the rest of the offending log is extracted!



On we go, this time up a newly opened up BOAT that used to blocked in the middle by a small pedestrian gate, this was my first time driving UP the whole length of it. (I drove it DOWN on a trip to the Cash & Carry if you remember!) :lol:



'Bont y Gwydell' a nice tight and scratch 'lane...



But as we emerge out of the bottom of the 'lane our way is blocked by a large strategically placed rock



Only one way out then, winch it back to be able to sneak around it! :lol:



And we're out...



Leaving just a six foot skid mark!

We then drove 'Moelfre' the other way, the end to another excellent days greenlaning!

THANKS to Alan for navigating and opening and closig countless gates, and Darren for the company and the impending YouTube Video....

Love a story with a happy ending......

If I load all three local wanders into Memory Map you can see we've overed most of the (driveable) greenlanes in our locality
