Hey Al whats in Machynlleth? thats only 17 brilliant miles from me, don't even think of taking the F**d its not allowed.
You must run from Mach. to Aberdyfi, that twisty road and the estuary to the side , If your looking for somewhere to stay try my better halves place- Home -
And don't forget the Alfa wave if you see a Cosmos blue 156 hooning around the lanes

Re: Meeting Up In North Wales :)

I,m sure that Cwrt is on the road to Aberdyfi , we are 17 miles to the east of Mach. Little village called Carno, on the A 470, used to be the hub of the Laura Ashley empire....
Not much in our village now though.
I'll look out for a grey 156 then
Tell me what you are into and I can try and help you around.

Re: Meeting Up In North Wales :)

We could organise something for nxt Sunday, do you know any good runs around betws way?

There is a meet organised for August, maybe we could check out a couple of the runs that are planned for that day?

Re: Meeting Up In North Wales :)

i used to do a really good 'un when i was learning to drive - the coastal route round anglesey, stunning coastline all the way from cliffs & headlands to sandy beaches & dunes, to woodland & hills - nearly all empty roads as well outside of summer

there's a big hotel/pub on the left as you get into betws from the conwy valley with bags of parking - i think it's the royal oak? it's the biggest one in town anyway, you can't miss it. failing that the main public car park is on the opposite side of the road with even more parking plus a good cafe/shop/public bogs etc

I know the main car park in Betws, met friends there a few yrs ago. Seem to remember it was very busy in the summer?

So make it the Royal oak then?

AL, HM wot are you doing this Sunday?
