Happy Valley (Tywyn) (Bump Stop)

Absolute Classic hard rock Lane we come to expect in Wales steep climbs both ends on rock surfaces, plus on the top up and down though the rock formations, there also some water and steep side inclines with the expected drop. Excellent views of the Dovey and the coast. Worth the often long travel too. West end starts at SH623016. east at SN669998, either way is possible but east to west seems harder hence the name Bump stop. Expect light damage as well as light head injuries as you get thrown about the cab. This lane takes its fair share of breakdowns overheating is common as well as diffs, gearbox failures steering etc so be prepared. The west end you have to cross the Talyllyn Railway at Rhyd-yr-onen the railway workshop can do wonders in fixing broken drag links. The Series One club meets once a year here, to see them do this lane is a slight in itself. Happy valley is the valley below there is some boats in there I'll leave them for you to do.
