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

Failing that I'll be bringing printed routes as well

I've had a play and I cant put waypoints into it. I'll do it the old fashioned way - follow the bloke in front!
Thanks for trying though mate.

The Griff is ill at the moment (blowing exhaust manifold gasket) so it might be a GTA trip after all.

That's okay, be good to see the beastie again, also get an idea of how different the SS box makes it sound under load rather than 'sat in a car park'

Scott,

I'm going to send you an Itinery file with the route up to chester. We'll meet at Oxford Services (I'll put it in as your first destination on the itinery), what time can you get to oxford, Ideally I'd like to get to Chester by about 9pm if we can.

Well, Katy cant come now sadly so I dont have to pick her up. You want to meet @ 3? Gives us extra time for getting there!

Also I was gonna bring my car cleaning stuff so we can wash the cars on the Friday before everyone turns up, you want to?

Sounds like a plan for both, can you PM your e-mail address again, as I haven't got it on my home pc.

I'l send you the itinerary converter at the same time
