I reckon the best Green Lane left in the UK - Machynlleth

In my opinion this is one of the best Green Lanes left in the country because of its mix of terrain, difficulty and length.

I’ll skip over the bit where I had to get my brother to drive up a section I couldn't!

On this trip it had tipped it down the night before and for some reason the stone step at the start was a lot easier than usual but the rest was trickier. All the more challenging on this day because we had to coax up a shiny and bog standard Discovery 2.

I had planned to do this last Sunday but every one and their vehicles were all at bit bruised and battered from 12hrs laning on the Sat gutted we missed it now, at least its an excuse to go back

After the weather we have had today I bet it's different again this weekend!

I'd love to do this lane within the next few months! Is there a good amount of lanes in the area to warrant a run from Somerset?

How many free weeks have ya got?

Have a look at my YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjcW3MxtkBPGe3Oi_Co9BZw

Virtually all the Welsh one's are in the general area and there are some stunners. You can start at Llangollen and work right out to the coast by the Dovey. Even take a detour to Strata Florida.

A weekend in Wales can take in some of the best lanes you will do.

Lets put it this way, one of my mates has a holiday home in Machynellth and when we went down for the weekend we managed one of the most full on, longest and best days laning I have ever done. Even then we only managed a quarter of the lanes I had plotted and I had only planned a couple of circular routes from his place. There are plenty more there that I hadn't even looked at.

ps Strata Florida in the dark was insanely brilliant.

nah, no lanes in wales, nothing, nada, nowt, dont bother.

hey ellebarto next time you,ve got some time free i,ve got a lane i know off that runs in a big 30 mile circle never manage'd to complete it, but its definately a lane for ardent of us makes strata and bastards look tame, ive never even heard a tractor or bike completeing give me a pm if you want to set something up
