Talking SCOOBY FINALLY DEFEATED

Decided yesterday to go for a bit of a drive Plan was to go over the Black Mountains then on to Senny Bridge and over to Brecon and back home All was going well up until about 1 mile on to the Black Mountains where i came across quite a bit of snow Up to 4ft in places And had to turn around




Decided that the HT Autos front splitter is a good snow plow


Then decided to turn around as the road was blocked and head back towards senny bridge via the main roads.
This was the rear end after the Black(white) Mountain


Then i thought a few pictures in Halfway Forest would look good







Hope you like the pictures

Where were you when you got stuck? Can't make it out!

I am loving this weather, help three cars yesterday that were stuck. Had to tow them up a hill for them to get back down(was a single track road) no room for three point turn.

Went up the Brynamman side and the snow was too thick just after the first left hander by the first car park. Just think the car was too low and the snow built up underneath. Only took 2 seconds to get out

No'i've found that if you just leave the engine run and leave the ice/snow melt then it takes the dirt with it

Thanks for the comments guys

Fantastic


I'm looking forward to a trip out in the Disco over the weekend.
I'm going to head out over the top of the Black mountains from the Abergavenny end and try and get to Hay on Wye.
I'm then checking out a route for a run out that we can all go on later in the year.

If anyone else Fancy's a run out let me know
