Evo Triangle and North Wales Snowdonia run.



Matthew

Matthew

Hi guys, I am going to do a run over to the Evo triangle and incorporate Snowdonia and North Wales at the same time. Some really good roads and should be a good day out.

I will be going, either on my own :eek: or if anyone fancies a good run out, they are more than welcome to join me :)

Going to try do a week day, either the 27th or 29th April to avoid weekend drivers.

Oh and an earlyish start ;)

The provisional route is below:

The problem with doing it with the NW (I was considering it) is there would be so many people it'd be a convoy rather than a proper blast.

When the yorkshire folk do it, its a proper drive, since there's only a few cars. I like to think of last years halifax - huddersfield drive as a good example of this ;)

I'll probably still be paying for the damaged caused on last weeks attempt of Evo Triangle:(.

You will also need a full tank... It was 140 miles one way to Coed y Brenin (Dolgellau) which was as far as mine managed...

Was just gently pulling out of the MTB center to go and do Evo and lost all drive. Just a nasty sounding grinding noise.
It's at Cleckheaton gearbox center at the min and still waiting to find out what the full damage is but probs will need a gearbox refurb. Might as well do the clutch at the same time too.

i'm tempted by this, but its a 4 hour drive from me, unless i come up the day before and stay in a travel lodge. Are the roads up there worth it? :p

Gutted mate, how much is a gearbox re-build and clutch going to be? Not cheap I bet....

Evo Triangle is meant to be awesome as I have heard/seen on websites. North Wales has some really good roads too. Not sure if its worth the long drive for you though mate? That would be dedication on your part. Good road trip though ;)

Probably setting off from my house about half 6 (which is about 2 hours away I think)

Should be fairly quiet on the days I have proposed...

Really looking forward to it now.
