Right here we go!
The route below is intended for the Royal Wedding Day drive out, 29th April.
Meeting place - Roots and Shoots garden centre, Chester, CH3 5QD
Meeting time - 10.00AM
Starting out from the garden centre, we plan in head into North Wales, round the horse shoe pass then to Llangollen. From there, down the A5 to the Evo Triangle then onto Betws-y-coed.
From there we head west to Capel Curig and take a left onto the A4086 then the A498 through Beddgelert to Porthmadog stopping in Tesco for fuel and refreshments.
Leaving Porthmadog on the A487 untill we turn left onto the A4212. This is one of my all time favourite roads, fast, sweeping, open bends with great views to both sides. A true drivers road.
Once in Bala, there are a few places to eat and drink. Then from there, its a straight run back to the garden centre!
So its a 164 mile round trip taking approx 4 hours. Hope as many people as possible can make it!

Route looks good mate, can we incorporate the B4391 between Bala and Llangynog? Meant to be an epic route....

Major caravanning weather by the way
It is, and the beginning of a BH weekend. You'd be better off avoiding the main routes like the A5, A4212 & A494 as much as possible. They're not that much fun anyway even at quiet times.
I'd advise continuing north from Ponderosa and taking the B5105 from Ruthin to get to the triangle, a properly good road. Then substitute the first part of the wide and busy A4212 by taking the epic B4391 from Ffestiniog across towards Llyn Celyn, and then continue onto the second part of it from Bala down to Llangynog, as suggested above. From there, you can cut across towards Oswestry for home, but I suspect you'll want to turn round in Llangynog car park and head straight back up the hill[climb] to Bala
