Right who’s up for some of these nice roads then

As the title suggests there will be two separate runs happening over the weekend so you can choose to do either or both if you fancy making a weekend of it.

We are currently trying to arrange some deals on overnight accommodation for the Saturday Night – and we have identified a hotel and a campsite in close proximity to the start point of the South Wales Run (details to be released shortly)

If you are interested in attending please state in your RSVP whether you’re doing the North Wales or South Wales Run or Both – if you are planning to do both please indicate if you will require accommodation on the Saturday evening and whether you would like to camp or stay in the hotel so we can get an idea of numbers.

E.g. North, South, Both – No Accomodation, Both – Hotel or Both – Camping,

-----------------------------------------------------------

Re: The North Wales Run II 11-10-08 & The South Wales Run 12-10-08

a tractor is still a tractor............

il give you a run for your money on the twisties. not saying il leave you behind but youd be surprised, as il more than likely be shocked and ashamed at how punchy oil burners are in mid range

Jon, or any of the 'insiders', is the first day a re-run of the 8/8/08 evo run? if so i already have that in the sat nav so will just need the south itin. no rush tho i suppose

The North Wales is the same but I've added a couple of stop points, one to help us regroup at that truck stop by the petrol station where we stopped last time, we got broken up before there last time when we went through LLangollen, and then one to stop in bala by the lake.

I'll be posting them up shortly

Wish I could go on this one as it would have been good to complete the run, but I am having the cruciate ligament replaced in my knee on 15th September so wont be walking, let alone driving, for 8 weeks afterwards.

If you want a stopping off point I can recommend a layby next to a resevoir outside Bala!
Hope you all enjoy it

GTA again as she was superb around the triangle - not sure the Griff would have been as much fun (it's a bit of a handful when pressing on down roads you dont know)
And it's an Alfa run out after all
