2023 Snowdonia Trip - Day 2
Since 2015 a few of us have been getting away late September/early October for a few days fun in the Zeds. (SRHutch, Stu-Boy, StuartT and myself, with Daz joining us tomorrow) Currently we have 2x ZMR’s, an Alpina and a E89 35iS Daz will join us tomorrow in his Cayman having sold his previous Imola ZMR a few years back
Originally we travelled to Normandy for a couple of years before doing Yorkshire and Cumbria, but recent years have returned us to Snowdonia with a Bala base.
Day 1
We left Swansea and headed up over the Black Mountains, through Rhayader and the Elan Valley, Devils Bridge, Dolgellau and on to Bala.
We managed to snap a few pics on the way
Hopefully more photos to follow as the weekend progresses
Day 2 continued below….

I'm seriously jealous!
I had a great weekend around Wales in 2021 and would like to do another trip there.
I'll have to make do with the Scottish lowlands in a couple of weeks.

Stayed a few times in Rhayader on my way picking up and dropping of my son at Aberystwyth Uni, lovely part of the world with some nice roads. Not in the Zed didn't have it then.
Now, Sterling grey Z4 2.2 with cup holders, stubby aerial and sport seats. Roadsters ‘cause they’re great with the roof down.

I can't make my mind up to whether I'm more jealous of the trip or the cars on show. Okay it's both

2023 Snowdonia Trip - Day 2
Day2
We woke this morning to a rather wet and dismal overcast day but managed a quick line up by the lake after breakfast l
As we made our way up over the mountain we encountered more mist and more rain, but that still didn’t deter our progress !
And then the fun began, but we still cracked on …
We met up with Daz in his Cayman at the Ponderosaa Cafe for another line up
Before ending the day rather sedately over a pint at Lake Vyrnwy Hotel
