'Llangollen Steps' and 'Bastard Lane' part 2 | Jeeps Greenlaning in Wales

In this video we take you along with us for the second day of our Welsh green laning trip. Part 2 of our mini overland adventure starts at a campsite near lake Bala; Bwch-Yn-Uchaf.
We woke up to a foggy morning but that soon turned to a beautiful sunny and warm day. After a good night of sleep in our rooftop tent, we took our time in the morning and enjoyed the slow pace of an empty campsite. Sipping coffee while basking in the sunshine. Chris decided to take his stand-up paddle board out on the stream by the campsite (we never did find time to go to Lake Bala).
For this day we had planned to do a few lanes near Machynlleth. First, Horseshoe lane (more commonly referred to as Bastard Lane). This lane is well known to green laners, mostly for the challenging rocky and steep waterfall. At the moment this lane (TW2 reference number - SH7302-02) has a voluntary one way restraint - West to East. This has been put in place by GLASS (Green lane association) to help preserve the lane. Travelling uphill is always more ground damaging.
We have one vehicle less today, so it’s Jeep Wranglers only - Chris in the white JLUR, Simon in the black JKU (he left his overland trailer at the campsite for today) and his wife Claire in the Mojito green JLUR.
Bastard lane turned out to be a lot more challenging than we initially thought.
There were axle twisters, slippery rocks, mud and tippy sections with high banks.
Combined with our late start in the morning and Simon’s little accident, we decided to call it a day after completing Bastard lane. Hopefully we will get a chance to finish the loop of lanes we planned in the near future.
