Greenlaning in Builth / Brecon area

Recommended Posts

I am getting a bit of a Busmans holiday in work and will be staying in Brecon and working builth for a few days next month.

Can anyone advise as to where I can do a bit of light greenalaning. I will be taking the P38 with me so tight and technical lanes will be out of the question. Unfortunately I have to leave the trialler at home.

I remember drving round the edge of some dam when I was up there last but am aware that alot of lanes have shut since then

Regards,

Dave

If you are on your own, the only one I would recommend is the dead end BOAT along the edge of Claerwen Reservoir.

That's actually quite a scenic drive. A P38 shouldn't have any problems on that route.

My Metro didn't.

I think thats the route I did before, at least partly and it wasn't by any means taxing.

I'm free in the days to go and explore but absolutely have to make it to work in the evenings. Much as it would be fun to do some of the more difficult routes, getting stuck is not an option. It would be a great story to tell, but then I would have plenty of time as I wouldn't have a job anymore.

Saying that, I have a decent set of BFG ATs on the P38 and also some recovery gear so some slightly more taxing routes might not be so bad.......

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. I have actually driven a lot of lanes solo in that area but many, although not particularly difficult, would scratch up a P38 something rotten.

Have look around the Painscastle area, up on the Begwyns. There are a good few easy, non damaging lanes up there. Finding the exact correct route can be tricky at times though. Memory Map and a gps is a great help.

Trailwise may help you find suitable lanes
