BOATs in Brechfa

Thought I would test out a couple of BOATs near me in Brechfa Forest today. Not driven them before and they weren't on Trailwise. I confirmed no restrictions with CCC and went down there today, did all 3 both ways along with part of a UCR. Nothing the RRS couldn't handle but some of the ruts were pretty deep due to water damage/erosion. Some slightly challenging bits and lots of vegetation gave the car a good scratching. There was only one part I baulked at and that was a diversion around a forest gate, which whilst it was obvious had been done, was muddy rutted, humpbacked off camber and there was a metal post. I was on my own and didn't fancy it without a spotter. However, all in all a fun hour in the forest with my car and I now have a new way to avoid the roadworks that will likely be coming to my local county road soon!



Nice to be able to have a play again Smile

We did some Brechfa on that day that seems so many years ago now, didn't we? 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Yes, that's right. We went up one of the BOATs and the UCR all the way to the farm yard at the end - your last lanes. The other 2 routes come off the UCR, join and then meet the same county road as the end of the UCR.

It was a while back indeed

Missus has a D4, borrow that? Though it might get scratched a bit. Quad would be ok too.

Previously I’ve driven D3 and 4 off road but just got an RRS TDV8. and not a million miles from you near Llandovery. Maybe we could buddy up for some green lanes - mutual spotting 👍🏽

If my car is still going, I'd be up for that. Zambezi Silver

Ditto but I'll get my car fixed first - leaking rear diff, bushes and a couple of other bits need sorting
