Happy Valley: North Wales Greenlaning Adventure!

kevin — Mon, 11 Oct 2010 10:24:36 +0000

Just got the video edited from our wild-camping off-road trip in the mountains for North Wales. It was an awesome adventure, as good as it gets in the U.K. I reckon! With fellow members of the North Somerset Land Rover Club we drove Happy Valley and several other excellent lanes just south of Snowdonia National Park. We drove my Defender Hi Capacity pickup, a ‘proper’ greenlaning Discovery 1, and a classic Series IIa. All vehicles were more than up to the challenges and proved that Landy’s really can “Go Beyond”… Here’s the story of the trip, including 2 out of 3 Land Rovers taken out by a nasty axle-twisting gulley!

A short video trailer for our trip to mid-wales – the weather was pretty bad but that just made it more of an adventure. We drove Strata Florida in the rain which was fantastic, camping along the route in the back of the Land Rovers. Here’s a taster, a full length video coming soon…
