[May 10, 2015] Spring 2015 Wales Run - Blacks & Beacons (Black mountains / South wales)

[msremmert]

We will have a chat in the morning before we set off lads. I am pretty sure we are taking the B4520 Brecon to Builth road. As for a stop in Builth, Burger King is planned but depends on how many cars show up in the morning.

They've resurfaced the carpark at Burger King Worst case there's a garage next door where I'm sure a few folks could park if it's absolutely necessary.

 

[Welsh.Dan]

Didn't realise there were actual proper prizes. I'd like the auto glym pack please [emoji14]

 

[dajones]

Yep, sent out 30 letters and got 4 replies!! Was hoping for more but it is what it is

 

[MJRacing]

If I bring that blender home, I'm getting laid tonight!

 

[dajones]

Me and kaz are here

 

[josh11490]

Probably a long shot because I know you'll all be having fun, will this thread be updated on locations?

I may be back early afternoon, so could pop along then if your on your way back.

 

[dajones]

If you pm for my number, I'll let you know where we are. Were going up to devils bridge first then round the blacks

 

[msremmert]

I'll be along shortly. I'm a few miles out waiting for Mr @Filters

 

[Welsh.Dan]

I'm just leaving. Took longer than planned to clean car! Be 20 mins

Sorry had to go a bit early and I didn't get to say cheers for organizing the meet. The Mrs is happy with the blender I won. Lol [emoji106] [emoji41]

Was a great day and drove a load of roads I've never been on before.
Big turn out and everyone seemed real laid back and friendly. Was hardly worth cleaning the car this morning. Lol=

Took a bunch of in car videos and a few snaps here and there. Gave the car a good blast all the way home too! Some great roads. Will upload some pics n videos through the week. But here's a few from the initial meet. As you can see, was a big turn out. Enjoy.

 

[Dano']

Sorry I couldn't be there, scoob is still having work done and didn't fancy taking a day off work to pot about in my 307.. Car drives me dull!!

I'll definitely be up for some meets soon tho

 

[josh11490]

Gutted I couldn't make it after, looked a good turn out!

 

[Welsh.Dan]

Lol@ the epic convoy. Took up the entire lay by!

@Filters ridiculous bike. Thing sounded immense! Sure I have a few videos of it tearing past me. Will upload when I find them. [emoji106]

 

[dajones]

Thanks lads for making it a good day really enjoyed it. Kinda ashamed the today was my first time in elan valley. Will definitely be back there soon

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

Congratulations on organising this!

Looks like it was awesome!

I'll definitely try and make the next one.

 

[dajones]

As it stands boys, 161 raised today, that's not counting the gift aid. [emoji106]

 

[josh11490]

When's the next one likely to be? One when its a bit warmer? August time?

 

[MJRacing]

Cheers for a great day lads, big thanks to @dajones for organising the day and sorting out the raffle prizes. Fair play to those who traveled from london/Essex/leeds/Manchester etc, hope you enjoyed the roads. Just a quick couple of pics from me.

Random man of the meet had to be this guy and his 172


ASBO award has to go to @Filters and his machine (bigger balls than me)



And my favourite car of the day (imo)



When's the next one???

 

[CoryColeWilkins]

Awesome day! Gave the dci a bloody good testing. Hats off to the route planners.







Looking forward to the next!

 

[dajones]

Cory, dug this up from 2008, my first Clio meet.
1.2 of pure nothing, bet you feel quicker now

 

[SharkyUK]

Nice one guys. Sorry I couldn't join you this time. It looks like you had a great day!

 

[Filters]

Top day lads, top f*cking day!
@dajones fair play mucka, thanks for organising an absolute blinder of a Sunday drive!

Great to see plenty of old faces but awesome to meet all the new lads and motors.

I've got plenty of footage that I'll get around to editing eventually (awaiting new computer...currently only on iPhone!) but having a watch on the playback screen...it's safe to say everyone gets a bit of action.

I'll also have HD stills availble for anyone who wants them. Just PM me your reg and we'll get it sorted!

For now...sleep!
Nice one guys!

 

[Filters]

On the subject of awards before I sleep.

Clubspirit award (if there was one) to @MJRacing for sticking around while we fannied about getting my bike running for the stretch home and not leaving a man behind. Much appreciate matey.

 

[Tim.]

Looks like a great turnout (who brought the articulated tanker??!), and it sounds like a cracking time was had by all.

Well done to the organisers and fund-raisers, great effort.

Looking forward to seeing the footage in due course.

Proper lol at the old fella gate crashing the meet. Cracking picture of him, look like you caught him off guard

Filters Was definitely the hooligan of the day

I'd agree. That clios superb!


Yeah. It was a great day, we did get held up now n then which slowed the flow down. But was a great blast.

 

[Welsh.Dan]

A few from elan valley stop.

 

[msremmert]

I didn't take many photos I'm afraid but this was a great day out.
I always enjoy the Welsh days out, lots of interesting folks always come along.
I don't live far from these places and like to go up there on my days off anyway so if anyone fancies the odd impromptu meet then give me a shout

 

[Luke0103]

i so need to come on the next one of these looks like a good laugh and good drive

 

[Welsh.Dan]

It was a greAt day out to be fair mate. Scenery and roads are outstanding.

 

[dajones]

Was my first time in Elan Valley, didn't know whether to tank it on the brilliant roads or take it slow for the scenery!!! Hopefully I got it just right!!

 

[Hodgins]

Another thumbs up from me, really enjoyed it, shame i double booked plans and had to shoot early but nice one to the organisers and for people making the effort to pop along

Lol. I was an elan virgin too. Its a stunning place! I was very surprised.
The pace was spot on apart from that b*****d Audi driver. Lol

Yeah. I went just after you, could have driven back down together.

I worked out how long it'd take to finish the route and it'd be late for me getting home, so I left about 10 mins after you did.

 

[josh11490]

Please arrange another soon lol

 

[Filters]

Sadly my traffic blocking skills failed me with that Audi, sorry lads! I did try......That block on the Élan route though

@dajones I wouldn't worry about your pace mate! 'Twas a spot on day.

Needs repeating.

 

[Bug]

Awesome day lads!
Was good to see some faces i havent seen in awhile
Shout out to filters for destroying my ears with that crazy bike
Had a good laugh but the drive sapped all my energy was sleeping not long after getting home

That woman's face was a proper picture!!

 

[Filters]

That woman's face was a proper picture!!

Looked more like a haggard old oil painting to me

 

[dajones]

[david.m]

No pictures from me but a few YouTube clips, some of the faster ones I'm a little hesitant to upload with my face and speed pretty visible
