4 missing lads found dead in Wales

Such a sad story, when the missing lads flashed up on my phone I really hoped they'd be found having just lost signal, I really didn't expect such a heartbreaking outcome, thoughts are with their family and friends.

It’s almost a rite of passage. Early 90s and a Nova GTE, then off to the Durham Dales in my case. I feel so sorry for the families of these lads.

RIP

Man that is tragic. Me and a mate were doing a wales road trip at the weekend and both Saturday and Sunday near Ffestiniog , few miles from where these lads were found, the weather was truly biblical at times with the wind rain and fog.
2 well experienced drivers in prepped cars who have done the roads a few times were having a hard time of it, so I can well imagine my younger self in a typical teenagers car coming a cropper
I nearly had a van take me out head on as he aquaplaned / understeered onto my side of the road on a corner.

I thought I’d lost my mate at one point as I noticed he wasn’t in my rear view mirror anymore. I stopped and waited a minute. He didn’t appear. I suddenly got that awful sinking feeling, turned around and went back to go find him, fearing I’d find him buried in a rock face, ditch or off a ledge. Thankfully the dick had just stopped to take some photos.

Heartbroken for their families.

Could have been anything. Why speculate?

Poor lads. Feel for their families. Like many, I had lots of road trips with mates in those early years of driving. Hugely important memories and bonds made.

A few near misses through st driving and lack of experience but luckily made it through unscathed.

Rip lads
