182 Trophy Welsh Weekender 2017

[SharkyUK]

Sadly the weather wasn't so good this year, and the roads were quite a bit busier than we'd experienced in previous years, but the turnout was better than ever! It's not everyday you see a Trophy on the roads so to see 18 of them travelling around Wales was quite... well, epic!

Thanks to @Tim. for organising another great weekender, to those who took pics and helped things run smoothly, and to all those who turned up and made it such a success. We even had a guy come over from Jersey (Mark) who also kindly insure me on his Trophy so I could have a drive Top bloke! Considering some of the guys on the Weekender are usually enjoying their driving in Porsche GT3's and Cayman GT4's, it says a lot just how much fun these cars can be.

Here's a selection of photos from the event

Thanks! Yep - there were some quite confused looks as we went by, but also a lot of smiles, waves and thumbs-up! Thankfully, for a big group, we were warmly welcomed and people were genuinely interested in the group and why we all had the same car!

Cracking pics as usual mate. What a turn out that is :up::up:

We went all over! Try heading along the A44 to Rhayader then heading through Elan Valley. Some of those photos were taken out that way (including the one parked up along the top of the dam, which is the same dam that Richard Hammond winched up in a Land Rover in Top Gear some years back).
