[visiting Wales]

Interesting reading that, as there are NO vehicular rights of way over Plynlimon!

I dont know the technicalities of it, what i do know is that while we were out there eating our dinner a group of about 5 0r 6 vehicles pulled up for a chat. The leading vehicle was a Disco3 and the person driving was a LRO international magazine writer and he was leading these other vehicles on one of their paid for 'wild wales weekend' (i think thats what they call the tours anyway).

Were a cynical lot aren't we?

Up until last september I had never been greenlaning but while looking through welsh tourist info on the web I came across Mountain Land Rovers and called the number on the website. It turns out that Tony runs his buisness from his home which is only 1.5 miles from where my parents live and 7 miles from where I lived as a kid.

4 of us all greenlane virgins travelled to meet Tony and have one of his days out. We left my parents cottage where he picked us up from @ 10am, and did'nt return until 4:30pm so we had a full day.

Among the routes we went was the Strada Florida and the day was brilliant. So good infact that we later rebooked and went from Aberystwyth over Plynlimon for our second day out. Again it was really enjoyable.

Proof of how much I enjoyed it is the fact that I came home and started looking immediately for a Landrover Discovery for myself and family.

Since buying one ive become a fully fledged member of the 4x4 appreciation society.

So its easy to knock these people on the basis of what they make a living from you will do for free, but for me it was a cracking introduction to the Land Rover world.

I havent tried his quarry site although he told us about it on our last excursion with him, if the quarry brings as much enjoyment and fun as his day excursions it deserves to be very successful.

[£1.49 thats all]

I'm new to Landrovers Les and have read the archives on as many sites as I can, I am only making an offer to help thise with the same problem as mine. Thought that was one of the reasons for joining a forum.

[£1.49 thats all]

I've read a lot of posts on this forum and others about the backlights on Disco time clocks failing, and people ending up with burnt fingers as they try to solder new bulbs into the holder. When my bulb failed I just resigned myself to having a poor display on the clock until i could buy a new clock off Ebay or similsr.

Today I went into my local parts shop and saw they had the bulbs in their holders exactly the same spec as in the Disco clock for only £1.49 each so I bought one and now my clock is clearly visible.

If any members want one for their Disco i'll happily get them one and post it for £2 inc.

Thanks nathan. Gotta respect those guys, they get some ribbing, but still try.

Gotta be a good reason why we keep trying

Hey Les I am a Jehovahs Witness (for real) and I found your account very very funny.

I also drive a Disco and a people carrier but prefer the disco.
