Summer Drive Wales 2015
| 1 of 1 | Back to gallery |
This years summer drive took place around Llandrindod Wells & Radnorshire. After several days of planning Adrian Cox decided to join in with the three day event & Alex Frost and his wife Julie choose to join us for day three the other 99% of members were unable to join us.
Although not central to the event we decided to stay at the Gwaelod-y-Garth Inn as they have always been very helpful and the food & beer is always good.
Day one saw us drive 3 byways starting at Moelfre Hill. The entry point to this is still to be unlocked by the council so it is necessary to enter from a few fields away. With overgrowth in the region of 6ft it was quite funny to just see the roof's of 2 G Wagens making there way along the hidden route. From here we used another byway before climing the bedrock stairs at Rhyader.
Day two started at Painscastle and consisted of 4 byways taking us in a huge circle, the sun shone and at times visibility was in the region of 40 miles.
Day 3 we used similar byways but in reverse, the rain was persistent most of the day but all three G wagens coped well with the slippery conditions.
Thanks to the members who attended the event and also to my son who opened & closed 35 gates on the Sunday in the pouring rain.

Hi Kevin
That looked like a lot of fun and covered some interesting routes.
It is a shame that you did not have more members participating.
I have looked around the website but it is not obvious where forthcoming events can be advertised so that everyone can see them. I will speak to the committee and see if we can improve this so more members are more aware of these types of events.

If you can make it any other time i will be there unless a wedding or funeral. Without fail

Re: Summer Drive Wales 2015
Many thanks Kevin for a great day out on the Sunday. Only sorry that work commitments prohibited the other two days.
Julie and I can endorse the hotel recommendation. Excellent food, first rate rooms and the friendliest of people.
Appreciated all the hard work by Kevin son opening and closing all those gates. Although only three G Wagens but with Adrian and Kevin the day could not have gone better.
Alex and Julie.
