The North Wales Run - AO does the EVO Triangle: 08-08-2008

See you lads in the morning

Still unable to make it.

I hope you all have an absolutely spiffing day take it easy and i hope you dont meet too many caravans out on them there Welsh type roads. And lets see loads of decent piccies.

Enjoy

I'm not going to be at this one, unfortunately

You guys have a great time, I'm expecting a load of pictures. Fingers crossed for the weather, hopefully you'll have loads of nice, sticky, twisty Welsh tarmac to tear up

That we will Pud

Camera has new batteries and spares in the carry case

I'm sat in the hotel now waiting for Jon and Cunn to turn up so we can hit the bar

You lot shoulda come down tonight, your even closer than I am

Dan sorry you can't make it mate if I hadn;t been going on to stay in South Wales for the rest of the weekend you'd have been very welcome to come along with me.

Cheers mate, I was thinking of PM'ing you and seeing if we could go in one car & share fuel then I read you were taking the missus and staying on for a little holiday, I've got the day off tomorrow as well and seen as you're all going to be tearing it up in North Wales I'll have no bugger to chat to on here either

I hope you have a good time anyway, don't drink too much as you have to be fresh in the morning. Me, I have a crate of Cobra's and they are going down nicely

Raises a glass of chilled Peroni and sits back to think about the drive tommorrow

Cheers Chaps

Jon just gave me a bell he's landed so off to the bar in a bit.

Blimey what a day!
Got home late but just managed to finish washing the motor before it got dark! Thought I'd better not get the vacuum out or I'll have the neighbours after me!!

Looks like the weather should be ok for tomorrow, I can't wait!

I think this meet will be the most Reps in one place at one time

I think I've just cursed it as its just started raining!!

Is anyone staying at the Holiday Inn on Friday and having beers out?

Ros Spiderman and some of the guy's down south are stopping over

Just got back from the bar.
Cunn21 and I tried the triangle out earlier as it was (sort of) on the way there

It's as good as people say, the left side A543 is twisty as hell, surface is good but it can get bumpy. Unfortunately the mist descended so had to slow up as there were a few sheep wandering about as well

The right side B4501 is fantastic long sweeping turns and undulating, it's very quick and magnificent scenery as well to boot. There's a twisty section towards the end which people could get airbourne on so watch out for the crests.

The bottom A5 is a very straight flat out stretch, unfortunately plod knows this and can be found there so keep an eye out.

We also did the B5105 which is nearly as good as the triangle, twisty and straights in equal measure.

I'm knackered so I'm off to kip now, see you all tomorrow and don't forget your walkie talkies (yes dad)

well I have just got back from the Evo run, with varying results. The balancer cam shaft failed about half way around on my car so it ground to a sudden and abrupt halt, right next to a lake.
Firstly, big thanks to everyone who stopped and helped me out, especially Scott for his assistance with the AA.
Am mortified that I missed the remaining half of the run and hope those that stopped with me, met up with the rest of the guys.
Anyway, off to do some parts shopping. (anyone got a cam locking kit for a 2.0l twinney?!!!)

We heard about it matey but we where half way round the run by the time word got through

Jon that run was bloody Awesome

Sta nav route worked a treat

So what happened to all you "fast" Fellas in the GTA's
