It seems a bit of a waste to buy numerous maps trying to find something that may look ok when somebody on here has the experience of the ones that are worth going to and the ones that are not.
They are public roads so im not sure what the big secret is.
And you wonder what the rest of us do........ when you go and see some of the Muppets that go and just do a few of these dusty lanes with small puddle you will understand why some of us don't just leak out info.
Just buying Maps don't tell you what the good ones are, they are the basic building blocks of the trip, a little bit more foot work then that is required, maybe what some consider good others don't.
I arranged a two day trip in Mid Wales last November, and done hrs and hrs of work on finding some gems for our group to do, checking with the council, guys on here I have got to know though just chatting, members from the club that I belong to and speaking to GLASS rep for the area. After all that still had one lane shut with a TRO when we got there.
So do some foot work first, get to know people and you'll get more info, show the people you are asking that you are serious about things, to many just pop on here and say tell me, tell me.
Once you have done the foot work you may realise what the secret is....and understand why people hold back..........
I will be doing an other trip this year to Wales, and yes it will entail a lot of hrs just researching the lanes, hrs chatting to people, and on the phone, and using some experience from other tips, will prob be more hrs foot work then actual time on the lanes, so no I will not just tell people I do not know, nor will others.
Discodad knows what can be seen, one of those dusty puddly lanes gave us one of the best views we saw at dusk during the November trip last year, also knows how much work can go into a trip, he's been involed in sorting routes and he's in our group.
