Llys y Fran

Sadly, it looks as though we will no longer be able to hold speed hillclimbs at Llys y Fran. The site has re-opened following development work but the changes are so significant that it would make running an event very difficult.

Wrapping tyres.

Wrapping the tyres to create a safety barrier.

Tyres are bolted together and wrapped with ‘industrial black film’ to create safety barriers around the track. Before the May event, many tyre towers are placed in strategic locations around the track. After the July event, the tyres are removed and stored ready for the following year.

 

The dam wall.

There was not much over spill that day. Sometimes there is a lot of water flowing down the wall and occasionally there is a big spurt of water arching to the left from the control building.
