Fun day on a Welsh hill

So, this is what happened: we all met at the back of Wrexham Footy Ground, all nice and civil:





Then we went onto the Horseshoe Pass, its the first time I'd been and it was fantasic scenery, but I had to concentrate a lot on keeping the car on the road! Then we stopped and had a cuppa and a bite to eat at a caf? at the top:



Then we decided to go for a drive to seek more scenery. At this point, I decided it would be a good idea to leave the metalled road and head onto the scenery itself:



Then it went bad…..there was an off road area with some kind of dirt track, we decided it would be a good idea to go on this. Here's a couple of videos, firstly my attempt at scaling an approx 1 in 4 muddy hill (auto, remember):



Here's GammygolfGTI's attempt:



And here's Chrisarny's attempt:



Then we drove round the track, trying to find an exit off it, and getting somewhat bogged down and confused until we found the way out. So, finally we ended up the day with quite a bit of the 'scenery' attached to the cars:







Note Danny's car in the background, he did the sensible thing, left his car parked by the roadside, and walked over to the mud pit.

Fantastic!!!

 

Funny to see Chris's face afterwards with splatterings of mud, next time close the window  

We then proceeded to have a race, Paul had the lead on the outside line, closely followed a closing up the gap by myself and ChrisArny driving inside & broadside like a nutter  :dance:

hahaha think i'd do the same as danny

For now, I think Chester/North Wales can claim to be the "most active" region - or can any other region challenge for it, with video evidence???

may I suggest you borrow my Pajero next time although it has to be said the golf didn't do half bad, looked good fun.

I had fun in the welsh valleys once………. maybe best not to go into that!  :wink:

Aaaahhh, the joys of owning a car that will let you play  

Looks like you guys had a terrific time - how long did it take to remove the countryside from the cars?!?!?!?!  Bet you're still at it and finding bits in the most obscure places  8O

Hello Anji, didnt take too long to clean, though the mud dried on the trip home and looked like a proper little off roader   , Chris is probably still cleaning the interior of his *mental note* shut window next time your off roading  :mrgreen:

Hey Gammy,    long time no speak - loving the paint job on your car now.  Pity I never had the same "*mental note *" to put roof BACK UP on the way up from Santa Pod to stop from getting soaked and looking like a lemon on the M6 with everbody and their grandparents laughing at me  :roll:

*Mental note……park car at side of the road*

I remembered mine!

I got no mud on the inside of me car, my face and torso got in the way.

Have washed my motor twice now an its still dirty. What type of mud was that? :?

Welsh Mud with a bit of sheep!
