Epynt is the windiest place known to man. Apparently the military go to Antartica to train for their time on the Welsh ranges.

I remember a time when you would ocassionally see one or two Darriens at a tarmac event, think I counted 9 for this one!You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.

Getting excited now, not been up the ranges for 2 years

Just seen this on FB through RallyMad Photography...
important announcement for regarding motorsport....
port talbot motor club have been advised that there is NO camping on epynt ranges for this sundays TOUR OF EPYNT RALLY......anyone found on there camping etc by MOD police will be removed immediatly and the events on MOD land are in enough jeopardy at the moment
guys, i can tell you that the future of motorsport on M.O.D land is hanging by a th...read...... talbenny has gone, pendine has gone, caerwent is going after next event..... and soon it may well be epynt....i know most of you are marshals or competitors but if we lose epynt also then rallying is going to be bleak... its hard enuff now to get events sorted out etc without losing epynt.
...
i have been speaking to ALAN STONEMAN who asks please, do not camp up there or go onto the ranges until you have been instucted to with regards to singning on of officals/marshals/competitors etc....if anyone wants further info, feel free to contact alan....
please pass this on to all you know within motorsport, even at a spetating level

Well said. Having been cought out on Epynt, being erly for a rally, and seeing army traing close at hand. I do not understand anyone who wants to camp in the middle of Epynt (warzone). Originally Posted by Allyc85

Well what a tour of Epynt, sunburnt neck, and nose in MArch.
Walked miles today, watched from Dixies, bottom of Steps, start of stage 5,
halfway between, Picadilly and Burma road, then over to Bartons jump, Pattersons Devils leap, however the hell you know it.
Must say a great battle between Melvyn Damion Peter and Steve. But Melvyn Evans was in a diffrent league.
Arrived 5 mis after Chris Jones had stuck the Focus Sti on its roof. Crew very lucky. Car slid off road upside down, took a ditch and a big mound right in the driverside windsreen, whilest being upside down. Folded the roof and screen down towards drivers head. There was not much room in there on Chris's side. Lucky the roll cage up the A piller and over the door stood up to the impact. Or it would of been nasty.
A cracking day out, and of course your normal chav spectators stood anywhere that was dangerous.
One of the best days rallying ive had in a long time. Video to follow

Why/how can anyone take your comments seriously when you write with the skills of a 3 year old ? Originally Posted by big_sw2000

Sorry i feel i offended you.
But why would you not take the comment seriously, unless your one of the ***** thats wants to cause trouble for rallying, in such places as Epynt.
I will say no more. Other than i enjoyed my day up there Sunday.
