Just to help finalising the lead in to the Welsh Meet N Greet, if you are coming, please vote in the poll.

If there is sufficient demand, I can do a lead in from the North on Friday afternoon from J11 on the A55.

Just to qualify, i will be meeting the Irish contingent from Hollyhead on the main ferry of the day that the majority should be on. This will involve a pleasant ride out from Tan Y Gaer, for anyone wishing to join me. Details of this will be posted in the details thread that Tanygaer has started. :)

I must have missed something, has Wexman changed his Valk out for another 1800?

You would be more than welcome to help with the routing Redwing, you can ride up front with me to keep us going in the right direction.

Darren - M4 to newport then Abergaveny direction onto the A470 and I'll meet you somewhere sensible whilst I scoot away in the opposite direction, having left the keys with Geordiemuppet and Silverfox.

I'll meet you in Dollgelaeu...

I hope you will be on site early Saturday Lakelander, we wouldn't want you to miss the fabulous ride out that Tanygaer has mapped out for us!!!!:waving:

Actually, riding into the venue at the crack of dawn (or before) is a good idea, as it beats loads of traffic and makes for a much quicker run. When I go up I leave home at 4am and have a fast run through from here below London. :cool::cool:

Route for Lakelander off the top of my head

M1 -> M6 -> M54

end of the M54 A5 to Shrewsbury, (roundabout alley)

Shrewsbury turn right and remain on A5 at the Fourth Roundabout turn left on the A5 signed Llangollen, straight thru Llangollen, continue on A5 Tynant, Betwys Y Coed, after Betwys Y coed had for Capel Curig still the A5, after Capel Curig left turn row of shops in front of you A4086 signed Caernarfon.

Take the first right about 10 miles, up over the top of Nant Paris to Llanberis, straight thru, Llanrug after exiting village and past the derestricted sign, 1 mile further turn left signed Caethro, straight over the roundabout, left at the next roundabout, Bontnewydd

Go past Nisa on right and up hill take second left, signd WMG from there

4 -> 4.5 hours

David

Lakelander, Tanygaer describes the route exactly as I remember it and should be good to get you there. I leave Croydon at around 4 am in the morning and am having my first cup of coffee at around 09.30 on the stone wall outside David's kitchen door. I would add that the speads that I achieve might get the attention of Mr Brunstrom's boys in blue, you probably should add an hour to that journey, plus I am usually in the van and don't need to stop for fuel, on the bike I need two fill ups at higher speeds!!!! :angel:
