NEW YEARS DAY DRIVE: SLIDESHOW UPDATE/3rd Jan 2013

[Mitchy]

Hi & Merry Xmas to you all. I no most of you will have your festive break all planned out, but there might be 1 or 2 that are still twiggerling their thumbs as what to do. Me and the wife are having a New Years day drive around Snowdonia national park and if anyone would like to join us, you would be more than welcome.
Leaving from the lay by opposite the Swallow Falls Hotel half a mile outside Betws-y-coed, postcode LL24 0DW at 10 oclock.
Planning on doing around 150 miles taking in Capel Curig, Bethesda, Llanberis Pass, Nant Gwynant Pass, Beddeggelert, Dolgellau, Bala and finishing off with the Evo Triangle the route is mainly A roads, but I Know loads of B roads that are tight and challenging. The weather will determine the route and how far we get. We will finish up at The Royal Oak hotel Betws-y-coed for coffee.

Please! I don't want to hear your excuses NOT to come. But if you find you have nothing better to do and you'd like to get out of the house for some fresh air, then there's no better fresh air than Snowdonia Mountain air. Don't forget "DRINK" responsibly

Wrong time of year to expect a good turn out :thumbsdown:
But I will be leaving from said car park at 10am on New Years day. Will be wearing my ball and chain (wifes coming along) so will be concentrating on the photography, not lap times
I'm leaving in the morning so should get quite a lot of photos/video tomorrow I want to put a DVD together
Outlook for Tue bright and sunny
If you have already decided to come along, let me know this evening and I'll pm you my phone No

Difficult, I'd say Pic 6 or Pic 7...!
