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

Re: The North Wales Run - AO does the EVO Triangle
Just a word of caution to you Southerners. I drove up from London on Friday and on the A41 South of Chester there is about 3 miles of newly laid grit.
I'd just gone thru a rain shower but this section was bone dry and came out of the other side with a minging car with lots of new stone chips.
It may be all gone by Friday but if you don't want to risk it go the M54-A5-A483-A55 route via Wrexham.
