From what I've seen the work they've done is to lower the water levels on the pools of water on the lane and not the river crossings,they used to be about 3 foot deep this time of year but now only 1 foot. I've done the lane in my disco 300tdi (no snorkel) around this time of year with no probs and in the V8!
It all boils down to what it's like on the day and the only way you're gonna find out is to go and see. If it is too bad all is not lost as there's a good lane in brechfa which you can do on your way back from strata,if your heading towards Carmarthen.
Here's a pic of one crossing on strata when it's normal
If your worried about the water been too deep you could always drive over it!!!
all in all it's one of the best lanes I've done no matter what weather,shame I have to work otherwise I'd be joining you all,enjoy!
