08-08-2008
Who's up for driving the EVO triangle and some other fine roads in North Wales

It's being done on the friday to help make sure that the roads are clearer than they would be at the weekend


Meeting at Chester at 10.00am - Meet Point to be advised.

Then off on a tour of some of the finest roads North Wales has to offer including the fabled EVO triangle.

The route will take around 4 hours and we will be stopping for lunch along the way.


For those with sat-nav: I will be providing itinerary files of the route, so if you can PM me with your e-mail address and sat-nav type I'll send you the file,
I can do TomTom, Garmin and Navman

This event is being organised by JonSpiderMan from AOSW

UPDATE

Meeting point be here by 10:00am
Meet point linky

The Route

The latest Route avoiding road works

PM Jon if you want him to send it to you

Re: The North Wales Run - AO does the EVO Triangle

just hope the satnavs all work properly and nobody leads us the wrong way - 18 cars in a line doing a 3 point turn at the yorkshire dales meet was a sight to behold

I think we'll be doing quite a good job of congesting it ourselves.

Just had a Sheep warning Horseshoe Pass and B4407 have a few of them pottering about near the road, mind you'll they'll probably leg it once they hear the TVR and the GTA's coming

Is this the one your trying to convert to alfa's?

In which case by all means As we'll be able to show them the error of their ways in choosing a mini

Re: The North Wales Run - AO does the EVO Triangle

now, now jon theres nothing at all wrong with having a mini, as long as its a real one not the BMW one!

i just have the best of both worlds you see

it would certainly be interesting to see how many ARs could keep up with the mini thru the twisty stuff though
