Ian
Jase ..
Found this if it's any use ..
WALKER 30 August 2000, 19:36 The Llanberis pass is awsome, spectacular views of Mt Snowdon and a lurvly stone wall all the way down to bounce them warbling scooby noises around http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif
If we stick round these are you will NOT be dissapointed, i gaurantee it http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif
Plenty of roads, more than we will have time for in 1 weekend!
God, i`m so bloody excited!!!!!!!!
firefox 30 August 2000, 21:16 Hi guys...
Are we actually stopping on a site ?
Or ruffing it in a field (friendly farmer with a shot gun springs to mind) http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/frown.gif
Lets sort this http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

WALKER 30 August 2000, 22:24 J
I reckon a small campsite would suffice, dont fancy the farmers 12-bore. Theres plenty up there, we can find one on the day.
Paul
jase cooper 30 August 2000, 23:45 We should be in deepest Wales by lunch time so there should be plenty of time to look around for landing sites...
(And in my tail happy tart of a car http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/cool.gif until http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/eek.gif !!! I may find myself traversing backwards through a hedge or two....'Hey lads...er..I think I found a campsite' springs to mind..hehe)
It may be worth planning a couple of Towns in along route for SUL, may take a spare can in the boot just in case. Oh...and a few bottles of Millers - isn't it great that they make octane booster and beer...its just uncanny! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif
Found myself a nice big water bottle too..W/S only lasted 3/4 laps round Donnington!

JAMES BUSHELL 31 August 2000, 17:06 This looks like a lot of fun..!
Unfortunely i've just come back from some serious piloting around Snowdon and N. Wales myself - A4086 Llanberis Pass(?), A487, A470 - AH Heaven http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif!
I'll keep an eye out for the next one as i'll be at Trax that weekend!.
I could probably get a few others to come up from the south as well!
Have fun... http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif....
CharlieWhiskey 02 September 2000, 09:17 Yep, Count me in! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif
Been down south all week so I've not been keeping up with this http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/frown.gif
I've got me tent, a choice of sleeping bags, a meths stove, midge repelant and me wellies!
Ian: What's the sheep repelant for? I thought that was part of the fun http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif
OK time & place needed to meet?
Chris
Can't wait - been driving a hideous Fiat Multipla Turbo Diesel 'Pope-Mobile' all week!
boomer 02 September 2000, 14:33 Kev is trying to convince me to come along!
Does anyone have a rough idea of where we will be (driving or camp, er, tenting)? How far does a scooby seat recline? Do the sheep wear lipstick?
mb
SCOOP 02 September 2000, 17:21 Hi guys, been watching you making plans with interest...... and guess wot.....I WANNA COME as well . I live Nr Worcester so maybe I could meet up wiv some of you en route ???

Will watch 4 further details or e-mail me pleeezzze,
Thanx SCOOP
Kev 02 September 2000, 18:24 Hi all
All this talk of sheep ... everyone will think we are going to go cattle rustlin' not drivin' ...
Martin, "go on my son, you know it makes sense .." http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif
Are we going to have a head (scoob) count ??
K
SCOOP 03 September 2000, 00:40 Back again... I've spoken to Badger this morning and persuaded him that his scooby needs a weekend in wales, so he's coming along as well.
We are both from Worcestershire and are meeting up about 7.30am.
If anyone else wants to join us let me know and we can arrange a rendevous, the more the better huh !!!
Can't wait hee-hee SCOOP

WALKER 03 September 2000, 08:16 Right then....
Saturday morning 9th Sept 9-00am at....
Macdonalds car park
A5 Cannock.
If your heading west to east on the A5, as you go through Cannock you can`t miss the Caterpiller factory on the left handside, at the next island you will see MaccyDs. We will be in the carpark at 9-00 stuffing ourselves with fodder. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif
Once everybody has arrived and sorted themselves out we will then carry on up the A5 into Wales.
We will travel up through Betwsy-Coed and onto Capel Curig, where we could stop for lunch.
From then on its a case of getting out the map and deciding where we want to go.
I know Wales quite well so can put us all in the right direction. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif
Anybody who is seriously intending to come, please put up a post as we don`t want to leave Cannock with out you.
If anybody wants to contact me, feel free to phone on 07970 443489.
Cheers
Paul
Kev 03 September 2000, 08:55 Paul..

firefox 03 September 2000, 10:34 Yep,
But feck. 9am at Cannock.. pooh... I need my beauty sleep (for all those sheep) http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif
I'll try and get my car sorted... needs a few tweeks doing to the ECU map.
J.
jase cooper 03 September 2000, 10:53 Mornin' chaps
Good stuff Paul!
Seeing as theres quite a few of us heading from our mystical world that be Derby...I suggest another meet up point -
McDonalds(again) on the A38/A52/Markeaton park roundabout 8am. Leaving at 8.15 to meet up with Paul & co at 9.
Look at all those details J http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif and its getting earlier http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/eek.gif

CharlieWhiskey 04 September 2000, 11:16 I'm in http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif
Jase: I should be in the Derby contingent if I can get my arse out of bed! Otherwise see you on the A38.
Still not got a coolbox for the Stella/Kronenburg
Chris
igratton 04 September 2000, 15:27 I'm in too (of course)
My brother will be in attendance as co-driver (plus he will possibly take the helm for some of the drive - oh god :O).
I can't wait.
Ian
CharlieWhiskey 04 September 2000, 17:07 Paul, surely if you are heading West to East along the A5 you are going the wrong b***** way? http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif
Do'st thou mean 'ere? [WRONG]
Chris

Kev 04 September 2000, 18:10 MMMmmmmmm I though it was more like
WALKER 04 September 2000, 18:24 Kev............
Thats the one me old mate.......
Paul
CharlieWhiskey 05 September 2000, 09:20 DOH!, It's a bit since I was down there but I did think the Caterpillar place was on the 'south' side anyway, thanks for the clarification Kev.
Chris
Airmiles 05 September 2000, 09:59 I can't make this as I have other plans, though I will be in Wales (Dolgellau) the w/e of 16/17 sept - W reg DBM 5-door with that nice little stainless bumper protector.
However, I can vouch for some great roads in mid-Wales, as well as North Wales, e.g. around the Welshpool/Dolgellau area - just steer clear of the armco, ahem.
Also FYI, the A5 between Llangollen and Snowdon has had some heavy Police chopper coverage the past 2 summers, due to them getting uptight over speeding bikers....be careful.
Cheers
Airmiles
Kev 05 September 2000, 13:47 Bing Bong ..... 'ello campers ..
The weather forcast is dry at the moment for Saturday ... but boy is it gonna rain on Friday ...
CharlieWhiskey 06 September 2000, 14:29 Sunny intervals on Sunday http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif
I hope this wind disappears by the weekend other wise putting a tent up will be tricky!
Chris

Oh, and don't forget cable ties and wellies and a few industrial strength condoms for the sheep http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif
