Question

Anyone interested in a drive over to and around some of N Wales?
Will cover some great A roads, B roads and scenery. Tea and lunch stops at appropriate times, etc.

Route details to be handed out on day. Meet at the Little Chef, just off the A34 / A500 roundabout towards Talke, at 9.00am Sun 26th Jan. Will be returning late afternoon.

If interested in attending please post details.

Happy new year,

Gareth

I would like drive round wales.
But i am going to santa pod on the 26th.

Is their any chance you could make it a week earlier
or later. I am sure you would get a bigger turnout.

Bye

Greg.

Ian - just a trackday at donnington, it good goin just to watch all the cars flying about, some of them flying into the pit wall !

It doesn't cost anything to watch, and if it is quiet on one of these events you can get on the afternoon session for about £35 quid

Blitzboy - Come along, the more the merrier !

Please don't talk about details of routes on a public BBS

They are regularly monitored by Traffic Police, particularly in North Wales!

Dean, Scoobyfella, Dodge yhm.

Greg.g sorry, but we will stick to the 26th, there will be other opportunities to meet up. We have had problems in the past when we have had a debate about the date!

Have a cunning plan to avoid the speed traps!!

Cool

Might join you yet goober!

You should listen to chaliewhiskey though.
I am sure a group of "modded up sports cars" going for a blast round wales would be of interest to the boys in blue, especialy
if they know your route !
If your reading this mr plod, their is no need to worry.
We are all very good boys. Really!

How many have you got so far?
If you dont want to say here, contact me as per profile.

Greg.
