stevoWRX - it just needs someone from the region to find a route and to be willing to lead it on the day.
That's what Chris Garner does for us, and it works very well

The more the merrier, next one is planned sometime in February. Keep your eye on the Wales forum over the next couple of months.

You're all barking! Devils Staircase in the snow!

Glad to see you all made it safely

Fantastic pics, and I recognise several of my favourite roads

We were all very careful on the day. Must have been going pretty slow to take some snaps from behind the wheel. Having an inch or so of snow made me realise how unprepared us Brits are. No winter tyres, chains, shovels.......or common sense

But a good run!

Cheers, pics aren't bad from my little Ixus. Not quite the standard of your beast Paul. Didn't manage to get a pic of the terrorist, covert training I suspect

Glad you enjoyed yourself, I couldn't make it unfortunately due to work commitments. Looking forward to coming along to one of your Exmoor runs.

Good pics!

Are the tire marks in the first pic someone doing a U turn, or someone having a "moment"?

Heh, they weren't anything to do with us. While we were getting the panda, (and then our own cars) to the top, a group of 2 or 3 Suzuki SJs had come up the opposite way, and while we were up there an old Landy came up too. I guess the marks were from one of them (or someone else who came up and thought better of it)
