    Re: Greenlaning info for south wales (gap road)

    I was looking to go around the 25th for a few days im located on the east london/Essex border so would have to make a few days of it as its hardly a pop down the shops.I ve since found out it could be open from the 1st-30th March but its only a rumour as no one seems to know if the Vehicle rights of way signs are still in place showing this date.Also the Sarn helen roman road route seems to be unclear as some say its a restricted byway.I just hope someone knows as i will have to book the time off work first thing Monday morning.If not looks like the XR will just keep going around the local Byways i hardly need to steer it knows the routes so well

    sarn helen is split into to different parts i think the longer part from banwen to brecon is open most of the year.
    the other part of it is a lot softer trail so it gets damaged quicker so it closed most of the year. its only about a 10/15 minuet ride anyway so your not missing much.

    theres enough trails down this was to keep you happy for months without going the same place twice.

    i,l find out at the weekend for sure about the sarn roads, xr250 is ideal it would be had work on the big twins etra

    We don't live too far away so if the date is right then you can count Mr M and me in for this. Will keep an eye in here for when and where
