Si,

Did you know that as a resident of Llandudno you can get a free pass for the Orme.

Might be worth applying now, if you haven't already.

Hey Icheb

I didn't know that. Only problem is fella i'm not a resident of Llandudno, but I am of Abergele. Does that still count?

You might be alright. A colleague of mine likes rock climbing and often visits the Orme for a light workout. He lives in Llangollen and managed to get a pass.

Give it a try

I need to work out how to do this run and our NW section run to the 'secret' bunker..

I know these roads well - great driving roads when no caravans get in the way. Just watch out for the horsebox parked up by the road - North Wales Police still use the horsecam I believe..

Hopefully see you on the day

This is looking to be an awesome dayout; if the weather is good it will be fandabbydoosey good! And I cant come oh bugger!

Hi guys, Paul here from the Abarth forum, i met a few of you on our last Wales trip, i was in the white Abarth 500! (and yes we did get lost)

I have a recommendation for this trip, when in Porthmadog we could go a couple of miles west onto the beautiful Black rock sands beach, a huge drivable beach which also has a cave you can park in (makes a great photo!) I drive on this beach regularly, there's a 10 MPH speed limit, but if empty it may be possible to have a bit of fun if you don't mind sanding your paintwork a tad...

Now there could be a £3.00 charge per car to go on, in which case i would say not to bother, but it's a nice beach and i can't think of many more places big enough to park tens of cars in one single row! Great photo opportunity surely?

Anyway, just an idea!

Sounds like a plan that Paul. Nice one.

JonC · #12 (**Post Link**) 20-06-10

Yep, know this beach well and I agree would make for some fantastic photos!!

This is edging ahead of AL's bunker.........

PapaHotel87 · #14 (**Post Link**) 24-06-10

Any chance of a Google map route asap please, just so i can see what's what, and where's where! I'm pretty familiar with this area (big surprise!) but i just want to see if there any of my little "secrets" hidden on this route!

rmaxeman · #15 (**Post Link**) 24-06-10

I'll get the map posted in the next few days

wayne-dear · #16 (**Post Link**) 30-06-10

I have to go to a North West underground meeting as i can just about afford the fuel for that, (stupid, replacing tyres in pairs.

)Do another of these runs please.

You'll regret that decision when Tony lets one rip under ground

what about another big run mid September time, before the weather turns?

Hi Guys

The meeting point in Llandudno is Mostyn Champneys Retail Park. In & Around Mcdonalds/Seldons Bowling alley/Halfords etc for anyone who hasn't been on that retail park before. (Not the one with Debenhams on, which is the new retail park next door

)

Cheers

Si

Its ok he is banned from most areas of Cheshire, came up with some excuse about spending time with Jan.

.
make September happen............

Hmmm, just realised it's Wakestock this weekend down at Abersoch, hope the traffic is not too bad...

Does anyone know if it is chaos on the weekend down there?

My brother went to wakestock yesterday, he went a day early to avoid traffic. It only took him 5 hours to get in!!!

But hopefully, everyone will be there by then...

PapaHotel87 · #23 (**Post Link**) 02-07-10

I have another idea! I've driven the back roads near Abersoch a number of times, they're great fun little roads, i usually go right to the tip of the peninsula and look down onto Bardsey island, its a stunning view!

Here's the new link, it adds an extra 35 miles or so onto the trip. And below is a picture of my car near the place in question! Although if we are going to drive on the beach at Portmadog too, we could be eating up the time...

rmaxeman · #24 (**Post Link**) 02-07-10

Up to you guys, looks like it adds an extra hour onto the run

SABREWOLF · #25 (**Post Link**) 03-07-10

I'm cool with that. We can follow Paul as he'll know where he's going.

Hopefully Wakestock shouldn't be too much of a problem. Fingers crossed. Besides if it is one of the lads I work with has gone to Wakestock for the entire 4 days it's on. Brave man.

so if we do get stuck i'm sure he'll put us all up in his £10.49 asda tent, it has a porch aswell. And is better than the equivalent Tesco tent in the rain as it doesn't leak as much.
