Wales - December 2008



  1.6 16v
Hi everyone, The girlfriend and I decided to have a road trip to Wales over the weekend between christmas and new year.

Day1

So we set off at 6.30 saturday morning from Derby. Temperature about 0 degrees. We had decided to take the A5 route so we could go around the mountains then into Anglesey and Holyhead.

Well after just entering Wales on the A5 the temperature was -5 degrees and looked like this when the sun had risen:

Then at Chapel Curig we decided to take the A4086 to Caernarfon:
