Green laning in Pontycymer, South Wales....

[The Lovely Boyo]

Hello,

Took my 71 year old mother green laning above the valley she lives in (the Valley I'm from).

The mountain behind me is nearly 2000' so its not bad - in the first pic you can see some long green sheds down below, we came straight up. At the top we found a mud skid pan so that was quite a laugh.

The descent was via a serious right hand drop - go the wrong way by 2' its goodnight vienna.

If I told her about the Plain after crimbo she would be there LOL

The last pic is an old mine shaft vent - someones been at the magic mushrooms.

Isn't that near Ogmore vale? I delivered some furniture over there a few years ago, before I had the truck.

Didn't you used to have a nudge bar Andy?

Its the valley between Ogmore and Maesteg.

I had the full width bull bars - I had to take them off and sell them coz they turned me into a raving road rage loony LOL

BTW - don't think I put my mam in any danger - she's as mental as the rest of us and loved today - actually I think its hereditary.........

You get blase to it - go onto google earth and search for Pontycymer or Blaengarw. It will zoom you right into the valley.

Zoom out to about 25000' - you can see all the tracks available - there's miles of it.

Keep zooming out and you'll see where it is in south wales.
