Title: Whats the deal with riding caersws outside of events? Post by: adam_hicks on May 21, 2008, 09:24:59 AM Hey guys,
My uni exams end on friday so me and a mate shall be heading around wales hitting up all the tracks we don't have time to get to in term time, anyway, caersws looks immense and i've heard speak of it being fine to ride there as long as you go speak to the farmer first and slip him some pennies. Is this true because I don't want to jepodise the venue, also if it is cool to ride there has anyone got any contact details for the farmer. cheers Ads Title: Re: Whats the deal with riding caersws outside of events?

If you have a suitable vehicle he'll let you uplift up and down the fireroad as well (well, he let us anyway).

Admittedly I only did one run (we used a landy the rest of the day) but it had no problems as far as I was aware, think my clutch would hold up to it fine.
Just use the gears ont he way down, don't ride the brakes like a lot of people do when going down hills. |
