On this episode of DEEP TROUBLE… two riders head to mid-Wales for a weekend of trail riding on the historic Strata Florida. It’s November, it’s wet, and Strata Florida is known for its water crossings. The plan is simple — get out, ride the lanes, and finally tick this legendary trail off the list. But as you’ll hear, conditions in the Welsh hills can change fast… and what starts as a straightforward ride quickly becomes something far more serious.
