Llanigraham:
Having spent Friday and Saturday "playing" in Resolven and Crychan as a Sector Marshal on the WRGB, yes there are some fantastic tracks, but for the most part they are NOT available for general use.
In Resolven and some of the other Forests near there the Police were being very active and stopping 4x4's and bikes. Don't know how true it is, but a spectator in a 4x4 that got to us, after finding that the gates had been locked, said that some people had been issued with printed Section 59 notices on Friday morning. He was very annoyed when he found out that the only way he could get out was to wait until the end of the Stage and then follow us all the way up to Resolven to get out!
South Wales Police take a very firm attitude to illegal off road use and have regular "stings" in some areas, even to the extent of using the Force helicopter to chase people on the commons.
Crychan, Halfway, and Eppynt have some Rights of Way through them, but going "off piste" around there can be very dangerous as the boundary between Forestry Commission land and the Army Ranges is not that well defined. If you think the civilian Police can be awkward, then don't argue with the Military Police!!

Reference keys, there are now more than 2 different patterns being used, and it is getting increasingly difficult to get them cut.

Ah, I was just going off one of my mates here in the village was saying. Maybe they change over to different locks when lorries are due to go in to carry timber out.

Llanigraham:
Matt,
they use the same locks all the time, but according to my local FC manager there are so many people now with "dodgy" keys that some areas are changing to a new pattern.
I know that the Hafren key fits Radnor, but doesn't fit Resolven or Crychan.
(oh, and I have mine officially!!)

narked:
Ah, makes sense. I know a few lads around here who have unofficial keys. Strangely at the moment most of the gates around here have been left open for the last few months anyway.

Tommo:
Set off down there at 7am friday morning (to get there before the marshalls and police) parked our 2 discos right next to the stage (well, about 20ft away) set up camp in the forest just next to where we were parked and jobs a gudd'un. Free entry, free parking, and no long walk to the stage. We had a good chat with the stage co-ordinator on friday night who was a very plesant chap.
