Saturday 14th -15th here:

Lodge Dinorwig – Hostel in North Wales, Snowdonia

www.lodge-dinorwig.co.uk

Thursday night we’ll meet at Woodside Lodges in Herefordshire, for a few beers and a bit of a get to know one and other.
Then Friday we’ll start our jaunt, on a route TBC. Loosely heading into The Brecon Beacons on Friday, up to Snowdonia Saturday, then Sunday either a wander around Northern Wales or back home.

You’re all more than welcome to join us ?? I think the Red Lion is fully booked up now, so you’ll have to find alternative accommodation, the other two do still have extra capacity

I’ve just watched Top Gear and the piece on the new Fiesta ST - Welsh roads, eat your heart out!

Fingers crossed that’s where I’ll be on Friday.

Here you go mate.

Tim's Trophy - #455

I've just picked up the Ultras, which I'll get wrapped in the Yoko rubber in the coming weeks, then they can go on the car. I'm really happy with the colour, which isn't too far from the standard wheels. Fook they look good. What's the colour bud? I may get mine done again and they look great.

We’ve done a few Wales trips over the years, there are a few separate threads here, I’ll try and find them.

As for places to go, honestly, anywhere! It’s an incredible country, the roads are sublime.

 

[MrBlonde]

Thanks mate,we have all our accommodation booked and got a start location & set goal for each day @Tim.

 

[MrBlonde]

Just a quick Bump/Reminder its getting close to the Wales Road trip Weekend for anyone else wanting to join us,even if just for a day.

Little taste of a road in Snowdonia ?

Is the laser camera van hiding just behind the rock on the left? lol

 

[alexessex_7]

@alexessex_7 can you remember who you'd recruited to joins us?

Honestly... no I can’t !! I think we should limit it to 6 cars anyway or roughly that number ... make it more exclusive ?

 

[MrBlonde]

This is the thread mate and i think we added all the accommodation details to in there with proper links

What’s your latest plan/route chaps?

 

[Clio_fool]

What’s your latest plan/route chaps?

@Jon46 has drawn a line on an OS map thats too big to fit in his car. If we find Wales we'll be winning!

 

[Jon46]

Wales?

I thought we were off to Windsor?

 

[Clio_fool]

Wales?

I thought we were off to Windsor?

You'll probably end up there. Ring me when you find the Morrisons.

 

[Jon46]

What’s your latest plan/route chaps?

Basically. Meet near Hereford on the Thursday night.

Friday is playtime in the Brecons, then B&B and a few beers.

Saturday, go do the Black Mountain Pass, then head up to Snowdonia.....via the B4518 (your fav )

Once there, I don’t know where we will go, just need to do the B4391.

Then B&B and beer then a completely random Sunday run, I think that’s when Northerners and Southerners go their separate ways.

 

[Jon46]

You'll probably end up there. Ring me when you find the Morrisons.

Wetherby?

 

[Clio_fool]

Wetherby?

That's on the 22nd. I'll not be there though .

 

[MrBlonde]

The Sunday i have a 5hr drive back so prob breakfast for me then home.

5 hours, ouch! I've not even looked at the route home.

 

[frayz]

Late to the party and couldn’t do it right now anyway, (mid kitchen refit) but this sounds like a great trip.
Hope you all have a great time.

 

[MrBlonde]

If all goes well mate im sure were arrange another trip next year but maybe earlier in the year early/mid summer @frayz

First Location is only 3 & half hrs but home time @0ss

 

[Clio_fool]

Snowdonia is the last one right? Curiously it's only 5 mins further away than the first one for me.

 

[MrBlonde]

Yep Snowdonia is the last night mate @0ss

 

[Jon46]

Yeah it’s a long way back for you, from the top end of Wales

Snowdonia is the last one right? Curiously it's only 5 mins further away than the first one for me.

It’s ok, we can wander across the Wrexham and it should be closer to get back home

 

[gez 172]

I may be able to join the Brecon section on Friday. Just to say hi - I won’t bother holding you up in my DCi.

 

[MrBlonde]

Sounds good mate @gez 172

[Clio_fool]

Tomorrow .

 

[Tim.]

Have a good weekend guys, weather looks lovely! Drive safe, watch out for sheep and maybe a gaggle of Clio Trophys too

 

[Clio_fool]

We had a couple of sheep moments today, one launched itself off a rock into the middle of the lane right in front of us and another that was casually walking down the white line and wouldn't shift.

 

[gez 172]

Spotted a couple of you today.
