just a quick one regarding the quarry as im very consious that my mates skyline is very LOW d yo u think there is going to be any clearance issues at all? and just so he knows how far is the quarry from the bridge as if its a bit of  adrive he might not come just due to his car drinking lpetrol like a whale  :grin:

Well just got back from a recon mission
Got there and found the entrance was blocked by some large boulders  :sad:
Time to use the diesels torque



 :laugh:

some pics of the quarry















Obviously Joe's will be much better

The road in is tarmac until your right in the quarry, then it becomes a gravel road with quiet a few potholes but with abit of careful driving I managed to avoid them.
The further into it you go the worse it becomes. more potholes and fairly uneven, but I managed to get through slowly.

Its 38 miles from the services and takes 45 mins to get there  :smiley:

Joe can your mate get over speed bumps?

I come from the m50 towards Abergavenny then followed the road towards Merthyr, there's a roundabout, which would be your 1st left sign posted Trefil, follow that road right the way through two small villages until you go over the second cattle grid and thats the entrance, the road into the quarry goes on for about 2 miles
