For all those interested in the current state of the steps and for all armchair laners.

It is easily passable and it would be great if all future users could stay on the road and allow the rest to recover.
There really is no need to bypass the 'hole' section as it is a steady slope now.
The drain offs have worked a treat.

First time I drove that track was over 30 years ago and the last time was 4 years ago - much changed ! Used to be there on the farm every weekend if not competing as Ces Evans was a long time motorcyclist enthusiast (Enduro and trials)and welcomed us onto his land to assist on the drainage of his top land, the Tour of Wales enduro used to use the same tracks for the same reason.

Its particularly a nice lane for motor bikes, specially when you can sit back and watch them fall off !!!!

I was out with FK and right behind him during this movie, the bikers followed us down and one of them must have wiped out three times in the space of 10 meters.....it was bloody funny watching the poor bugger! I was amazed that my standard 90 on ATs came down that section with out any damage. Thanks for posting the video FK, I will show my lad!!
