Anyone fancy a day out in aforesaid area. I know the routes, good stops, scenic views etc and could plan a day with a coffee stop, lunch and perhaps a glimpse of the sea as well.

Thought a 9.00 start and maybe a weekday so we miss the weekend numpties.
Sounds a great trip.
Have a good one :driving:

Excellent, looking forward to the roof down, driving some cracking roads with other Z’s and great views. Just need to wash the car first….

It's looking good for Wednesday and just a reminder about the start. Postcode is WV16 4QN. Enter car park and go to back near wooden fences (directly in front of you). Do not get a car parking ticket as you get 15 minutes free and the chance of a traffic warden at that time of the morning is remote.

I'll be there from just after 8.30 and, as usual, my top will definitely be down........

Attached is a map of the car park...

Additional information

A route booklet will be available on the day and will contain the info below. I have print facilities so should be able to knock together something appropriate….. PDF version available hopefully Monday.

Stage 1 details
Final postcode is LD6 5HP
Nothing of note about this stage……

Stage 2 details
Final postcode is LL36 9EY
We will be going around the left side of Clywedog Reservoir and there is a car park where there is a great view of the reservoir and worth a stop here for a photo.
At the Talyllyn Railway Centre don’t forget to park behind the centre, turn left just past the railway and it’s a £1.

Stage 3 details
Final postcode is SY10 0NA and the café is on the left in the craft centre but for this leg we are not going the obvious sat nav route.
At Bala we will be taking a single track (but perfectly driveable) mountain road. What could possibly come the other way…….. If you don’t fancy the mountain road then go straight on when we fork right at the obvious mountainous road at Bala and take the easy way around.
The café has parking but in the unlikely event it is really busy there is roadside parking.

No need to book turn up on the day for the 'Shropshire and Beyond' day out. Or should it be 'It's a miracle..... it's not raining in Wales' :rofl:

Thanks for organising this run out Richard, it was great to meet up with a fair mix of model owners, shame we didn't make the final destination but theres always another day.

Cheers.

Yes was a good trip and thanks for organizing, think the only absentee was the pre facelift E85. Excellent route with little traffic, look forward to the next one :thumbsup:

Richard - thanks for taking the time to organise this drive out, the roads, scenery and fellow enthusiasts made this a fabulous day. The wife also enjoyed the day and asked to pass on her thanks to you and your better half. Looking forward to the next run out.

I too would like to add my thanks to Richard for all his hard work and generousity. It was a great day out and an opportunity to meet other Forum members. First time I've ever been on a car run - thoroughly recommended :thumbsup:
