[Flob]

Yeah we are booked into an air b&b glamping pod tomorrow. Where was it mate?

Let me find it and PM it to you mate

 

[Myfanwyi]

First time at Anglesey CSF, proper enjoyed it…. Loved the track

That thing was flying! Sorry for sending it on you when the MK/Caterham went off 🙏
But the chase footage over the next lap was well worth it 😂

 

[Myfanwyi]

You need to buy a gripper first 😂😂

Does it come with all bits included or do they fall out during postage? Asking for a mate..

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

There's a fair few in Wales boyo - @Sunglasses_Ron if you want a list of places well worth visiting you know where I am 👍

I think we are are going up Snowdon by train on Tuesday because my knee has swollen up like a balloon since our long walk on the beach earlier today. Fck knows what that’s all about because it’s never happened before.

Eh?

 

[lee M4RSH]

Yes mate, the staff in the bar weren't happy about it at all. We all explained they were nothing to do with the club and from what I've heard the admin/mods all dealt with it perfectly.

Good to hear it was dealt with properly and hopefully like mentioned above, it doesn’t taint the hard work that has been put in to keep CSF at Anglesey.

Whisky or gin?

Aberfalls -Gin (you see it on the A55 do both but their whisky isn't great IMO)

Penderyn - Whisky (who was wearing their hat?) is in Llandudno and do a good tour.

Then there's Conwy brewery who do tours for beer.

Edit. It's worth going to the actual Aber Falls for a walk. Absolutely beautiful. Hour or so walk from the car park. Worth it if you're in the area. Happy to point some other places out if you're staying local?

Beer tour sounds perfect 👍

Just checked and it's weekend only 😞

(risky overtake under braking and yellow flags 😬🙏 was too busy making sure I passed you safely and didn't spot the MK going!)

👋 Top tours, free taster too!
@Sunglasses_Ron https://www.penderyn.wales/tours-llandudno/ open Wednesday but advise you pre-book.

Aberfalls was the one I was thinking of, on the way out of Anglesey.

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

Aberfalls was the one I was thinking of, on the way out of Anglesey.

The gins are decent but their whisky is still young and very harsh IMO.

Only ever had it from work hampers, not something I'd buy in a shop though.


There's a vineyard and their wines are spot on.

Yellow meg 3rs??? Very quick…. Just quick enough to beat a 1.4 auto 😉😂

You got bitten on the knee last night in the garage.

[SharkyUK]

I began writing this about 30 minutes ago, but decided to start again because I was linking and thanking pretty much everyone I spoke to over the weekend (and it was getting a bit silly). And the more names I decided to add, the more worried I became, in case I missed someone out and offended them. So, let's make this simple - you're all a bunch of w**kers. That way, you should all be equally offended. But, honestly, I couldn't think of a better way to spend a couple of days to be honest. I've made some lifelong mates here and it was top banana to meet a bunch of new fresh recruits this time around.

I've simply got to mention Team CS and all those involved in organising. Smashed. It. Again. Seriously, the amount of work that goes on behind the scenes is probably more than I can imagine, but the results speak for themselves. Thanks to each and every one of you. I'm sorry if I didn't get around to all of you personally to shake your hands but please know I am massively grateful and appreciative. Cheers!

Thanks to those of you who also took time out for a bit of a chinwag; it was good to see you again, or to meet you for the first time. I'm slightly disappointed that I didn't get time to chat with everyone I wanted to, so I'm working up a rota for next year.

Special thanks to @SharkyUK for taking him out in the GT4. He is absolutely Porsche mad and has started on his mother as soon as we walked through the door. Telling her how much of a sound investment one would be and how brilliant a car it is!

No problem, mate - it was my pleasure. I don't know what it is but CS dads seem to be doing something right! Just like Dan's son Alfie and Ron's son Stan, Toby is very much growing up a young man in the same vein; incredibly polite, courteous and knowledgeable. Fair play fellas!

So yeah, another amazing event. I caught up with many, missed a few others, saw Rojer, and has Sash hugs. Win-win.

I did manage to grab a few photos (I took 717 apparently) but my 20 year-old camera and Compact Flash were throwing errors left, right and centre! Sadly, it seems like many didn't write to the CF correctly, and some have various levels of corruption. I've managed to recover about 10 images successfully so far and will see if I can recover a few more.

EDIT: My friend who came along in his Aston (and is a Spa Francorchamps lap record holder, don't you know!!!) sends his thanks, too. He enjoyed it and was gutted to have to shoot off mid-afternoon.

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

I don’t think it was that mate. I had a fair amount of pain in the knee whilst walking. It’s a problem with the joint I think. I’m getting fkn old 😫

 

[Cads]

Seems the standard of driving didn’t improve on Sunday morning. Always good to get some positive feedback from the locals eh @CliosandCoffeeCal

Tbf that’s great news for the club. Clearly shows the issues were part of Route 666 and not “them in the Clios” which could have tainted CS.

A real shame, would be interested to see a response from Route 666 given concerns were raised previously and shot down as “don’t believe everything you read on the internet”.

 

[KitsonRis]

Were these the group of cars that turned up in all Gumball style stickers at lunch time? As I left they arrived/driving down the road in a moronic manner.

But all event attendees are strictly briefed about the manner of their driving! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Wonder how they got identified so easily? 🤔

 

[ChrisR]

Aye

Then the bald Welsh equivalent of Cub turned up in a Police costume. I thought he was a contract killer tbh, it was like a building with feet in a stab vest

Least you didn’t think he was a stripper…

 

[Krarl]

I'm just waiting to see what sort of excuses are gonna be put around

Or whether they're just gonna pretend it didn't exist and that they all drove like mongs on and off the track

GET OUT OF MY WAY

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

I went against my inner feelings regarding Cal’s group and decided to give them a chance. This was despite being warned against it by several people. I always like to give other groups an opportunity to attend and enjoy the event but I got it wrong this time.

I won’t go into details of some of the things I witnessed but needless to say we won’t be extending the invitation next year.

Our relationship with Anglesey remains completely intact.

 

[KitsonRis]

What was their briefing?
“You know what driving sensible it? Yeah don’t do that. Behave like utter idiots and in the wise words of Jon Bon Jovi give everyone a bad name”

 

[Flat Eric]

Looks like you had another great event! Some great pics of the cars on track too!

 

[NorthloopCup]

Our relationship with Anglesey remains completely intact.

This is excellent news! Building a rapport takes years, but only seconds to lose, so I’m pleased to hear that it’s still intact.

As myself and @Daniel said, they’re not our people.

 

[NorthloopCup]

But one thing I will say is, it was great to see Mexican Kyle.

😂😂

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

next year.

Anglesey

Such a shame that a group of mongs did exactly what some thought they would.
His website states that shitty driving will lead to being thrown out of the group - clearly something that's not enforced. I know the 20mph is s**t in Wales - I have to suffer it daily but I don't go booting through villages at 50mph!

I didn't see any of the evenings issues as I was in my car seconds after not winning anything on the raffle.

So... Next years dates then? Same weekend? 🙌

 

[Clart]

Wonder if he will have the balls to come back and explain exactly what happened?

After giving it loads about increased safety and assuring folk they will be behave - pretty embarassing really.

To be fair, it was kind of them to label their cars up so clearly to make it obvious they're not with the rest of us.

In my opinion, it’s not about having the balls, it’s about having the common decency to apologise to the admin team for the behaviour of those individuals.

 

[Mr Trailer Man]

Were you in the big tent with the music behind us?

I was in @Brett's tent here.

Not far from you.



Music could have been from our mates to left of that pic.

 

[Grandpa Joe]

Dan said you and Ron junior are staying until Thursday?

If you're out sight seeing I saw a nice looking distillery on the way home that looked like it did tours?

Aber Falls distillery. It's about 25 mins eastbound on the A55
