I'm sorry this has fell through for you Steve. Best laid plans and all that...

 

Many thanks to Steve for showing us some cracking roads and a warm welcome.

I really enjoyed the twin lakes road which was like a short rally stage in itself, the evo triangle was a bit hair raising in sections but just as enjoyable. And even better there were no Police, speed camera vans or GATSO's either and I thought North Wales was crawling with all of them, not that we exceeded the speed limits at any time.

It was good to meet Richy B and the other members of MWS and thanks for showing me the best way to get back.

I forgot my camera so I am hoping that Rich (rsedwards) can post some pics up. If anyone get the chance to drive on either of these two roads then take it you will not be disappointed.

 

Great to meet you and glad you got back home safe!

We all got back safe and had a nice sensible drive home (well most of the way, LOL)!

 

Gald I made the trip up, nice roads and friendly people. I'll try and get some pics up by the end of the weekend, and the vid should on youtube by the end of the week.

Cheers, Rich.

 

lucky you missed the crap weather

 

A great night had by all, thanks Steve

 

Thanks again to all that turned up (nice to put some faces to usernames) it was such a shame the meet was'nt as intended but i think we had a good time.

next time i will come up with a more challenging route and i will servey the roads beforehand (well it would be rude not to)

cheers

steve

BTW i have to wait a week for the youtube vid!!!

 

Nobody ran out of petrol did they?

Even though it is a far old jaunt (I will book into a hotel next time), I would be interested in another meet to see some more of north Wales's best roads although they would have to be pretty special to beat the twin lakes and evo triangles.

 

im sure i will come up with something inc the triangle and the FULL lakes run something with a compulsory petrol halt

steve

 

Sorry Richy forgot to ask can Jay (I think) post up the photographs of the action shots?

I just wanted to see how terrified I looked giving it some beans down the twin lakes road.

Also forgot to compliment the MWS on their cars - your 22B is fantastic and I hope to own one someday , Andy's hatchback was menacing in black, Jay's P1 is a credit to him and CristalTips's spec D has got to be the ultimate hawkeye (for me anyway).

 

<cough> i got a speccyD as well <cough>

heres the only piccy i took



steve

 

for me tooo!

Have you Steve Didn't notice it parked there next to mine

 

I'm glad everyone's number plate is blanked (apart from mine!)

I uploaded the vid to youtube but is was too long (you're only allowed 10mins) So I will edit it tonight, I also need to cut out Steve's number plate.

I'll also get some pic's sorted once I have resized them.

 

No harm in taking a pretty picture

 

ooops

original image edited and on mid wales site

steve

 

never done the vid to youtube thing is it possible to split it up in sections??

 

No worries, I thought you had simply forgotten anout me!

I have cut a chunk out of the vid to bring it down to 10mins, some of the footage was poor because of the rain and low sun. By the time youtube finished compressing it you couldn't see much. The final copy is rendering now.

Pics will be up shortly.

Cheers, Rich.

 

Here's a few pics from Friday night now i've caught up on sleep thought i'd taken more than that!!

If anyone wants a high res copy of a pic, drop me a pm.

 

jeeez i need to get on a diet

some nice pics

 

A cracking night and some great roads, now when is the next one?

 

right

we have 2 options, before the kids break up for summer or afterwards i was thinking of a lunch time meet up and an afternoon/evening blast i will ahve a good look in cloc forest to see whats suitable and i will defo get the sheep forcast

during the summer hols theres too many caravans etc etc oh and the bikes (the ones that hang off your rear bumper (at less than the speed limit) right in the blind spot

steve

 

Ok, I have put the vids up on you tube, enjoy!

YouTube - North Wales Run 1

YouTube - North Wales Run 2

Managed to include some random footage on the end of vid 2

 

Thanks Rich they're nice a clear (till it rained!) have popped them on MWS too

 

nice one buddy yeh was a shame about the rain drops, who was the guy in the silver car ahead? some nice lines i thought although he did seem to be on sheep duty (poor sod)

steve

 

I don't know who the driver of the silver car was but he seemed to be slowing up progress and as for his unnatural interest in sheep, draw your own conclusions on that one...

 

Absolutely FPMSL!!!

Awesome vids Rich, but shame you didn't have a rear view camera!

 

Thanks for the comments

I like the camera stuck on the outside as it give a different perspective. If we were going to do a few runs (and the battery lasted ) then I would have moved it to different points on the car. Next purchase is an incar charger for the camcorder.

Aren't there more (action) photos due to be posted?

 

When Jay stops falling asleep and pulls his finger out there will be!

 

i have no idea what you are suggesting


i have an outline route in mind for the next run be prepared for 100 miles with a petrol/lunch stop with some 'mint' roads



























steve "Barrrrrrrrr"
