Just an idea of where we plan to stop and turn around would be good, my friends wants to meet me there!

Remember when I abandoned the site for 2 weeks last year, well i met some girls from wales then and they liked golfs, especially mine.. but i was in a big motorhome, so it's an excuse for me to show it off..  :mrgreen:  :mrgreen:

I haven't got a route sorted as such, I know we'll be meeting at Ponderosa cafe on the Horseshoe Pass, then hopefully hit Lake Vyrwyn then onwards through Snowdonia towards coast.  Any good suggestions/recommendations always appreciated (I know GtiMad is fantastic at knowing some proper class back roads) On the Black Rock Sands roadtrip we had a conflab at Bala Lake and went with the flow, this will be much the same way of planning this one  :mrgreen:

Rich put your routes up, it can be incorporated easily enough  :wink:

Simon give us an idea where the girls are from, their phone numbers and any intimate photos very welcome  8O  8O  :lmao:  :lmao:

What about a trip over to Llanberis via Betws y coed?
and maybe caernarfon castle for pics after.

Could even go to this car park for some pics if its not too busy.
This car was sold to make way for the mk1  :lol:

Okaly dokaly; This is the route I would take:

This maybe a fairly obvious route, but; From Vyrnwy head north east on the B4396 to Pen-y-bont-fawr, then west to Llangynog over the (pencraig?) pass (one of the best in wales!!!!!) to Bala, then take the A4212 around the resevoir, then take a right up the B4391 to Ffestiniog and then it's pretty much boring A roads to porthmadog…

A good route that takes in a mix of roads. The Pencraig pass is a must

richair, thats exactly the same route we went last time from bala to black rock sands, apart from taking the B4410 over to tremadog.

Am I right in guessing caernarfon castle might be a popular choice with certain people on here???  :lol:
