North Wales Summer Run
Not sure if anyone on here may be interested but a few mates and myself are planning a run in the summer.
Plan is to leave Aberystwyth one Saturday morning - along a well planned designated router along some of the best roads around Snowdon. The route will end up in North Wales and lasts for approx 6hrs in total. There will be arranged stopping points at some scenic points for photo oppurtunities etc. Plan is to either camp at designated campsite or people can arrange own accomodation or even head home in the evening.
Bear in mind it will be leaving from Aberystwyth if interested so for people down south it would involve some planning to make sure you are in Aber for the morning it sets off.
Organisers behind it arranged a similar event in 2006 that went from Aber to Land's End with various checkpoints on the way. This time its not intended to be a race but a run taking in some of the best roads available.
Open to any cars/bikes - initially it seems there is no cost involved apart from petrol and any accomodation you require although there may be a fee if you want to book campsite etc in advance.
Feel free to join the forum created for the event - this will be updated with all the latest info on the route and used to gauge ideas on the whole thing.

Sounds good - the organisers are doing a dry run soon and at the moment not giving too much away but a sneak insight into the route reveals it will involve some of the Evo triangle and also some cracking roads around snowdon. As far as im aware at the moment they hope to draw up a detailed final route after their dry run including pictures etc. Once thats done the forum will be used to see what people's thoughts are and whether they are attending. And given numbers and interest in it they will decide whether to take deposits and book campsite/b&b/caravan's etc or whether to leave everyone to their own devices.
Forgot to add planned booze up on the Sat night - maybe BBQ etc etc - wherever we staying.
