North Wales 30th june: mud and fords

[Hew]

Timpo.. would you mind if i tagged along on that one. ???
Will you be suppling the machette?

Given the recent weather a life raft may be more useful. I thought I might have needed one when I went through the pictured ford on Friday evening. I did chicken out of one on Sunday near the rifle range Llansilin as I couldn't remember what it was like normally and the river was in full flood.
A helpful hit for you Rocks is to make sure that you've got a good rear tyre as, given the recent weather, I suspect Timpo will bring 17 tonne weak bridge lane is back into play. Of course there may be worse place in store

By the looks of it Tim won't have the excuse sorry handicap of having to carry a fuel can this time

I just hope that I can make it

Derwen-Deg Ford at Llansilinn, was very bad on Sunday Hew, and the landslide in the lane just before it caused a bit of a problem. I had to warm the Warn 8274 up a bit to get my Defender, then two Discoverys through the hole.
The water across the ford was halfway up the Defenders doors. Hobbes was not a happy chappie!
This is on the route for the next ride, hope the Council don't repair it beforehand, as Timolgra could try his green tail-end bouyancy aid out.

Any KTMers fancy a swim?
Recovery is extra cost.

I am so glad that I did not have that f***it moment and launch into that ford. Especially as I didn't have Tim's buoyancy aid
Mark still has fond memories of weak bridge lane
