Leaving the home of Owain Glyn Dwr and heading South in to the forests where Legends are made! Two short Selectifs to start this days recce, approx three miles each. The first, an up hill drive of some one and a half miles before decending the last. Fast and sweeping bends to look forward to here. The second three miler is a bumpier affair, but far more interesting with a tight uphill hairpin junction and crests that can catch you out quite easily if you do not concentrate...great fun though! From here and on to Bala where Penllyn Forest lies at the foot of the Hirnant Mountain. A good climb with steep drops to keep you honest is the order here. A tight hairpin to finish before the long road section across the Hirnant and Lake Vyrnwy and on to Dyfnant for the next competitive section. In 2007, numerous competitors were caught out in Dyfnant with some clever working of the junctions that even the experts had to think about, but what a brilliant forest this is! Some three Ply to start, then Cat 1 sections, before more three ply, fast open corners to entertain the most careful drivers and a surface smoother that a billiard table!

Its back to Dyfi for a re-run of this special of special Selectifs. There's no repeat of our Alien friend this time around. May be he didn't want a 'close encounter for the third time!'

Joke!
