NORTH WALES WEEKEND 27th/28th APRIL 2013

[twist944]

The weather is a bit odd this weekend, I've had sun, cloud, blue sky, hail and rain today. Wonder what's on store for my journey to Wales tomorrow.

Do you have a route planned for tomorrow? Did anyone else show up?

No one else had turned when we left at 10:10am

We just played it by ear today, and it seemed to work well. We went as far south as Llandridnod Wells, over to the Elan Valley & Devil's Bridge, Bala, Vernwy, Evo Triangle and some lovely roads that had no name.

If it's only you who turns up tomorrow then I guess we'll do similar.

It probably will be just me as no one else has replied and its forecast rain haha....

How did I not see this? I live in North Wales.

[mmm-five]

Just got back from 1 evening & 2 days of the Welsh roads. What a lovely weekend (despite the odd shower/hail/downpour).

Covered about 500 miles over the weekend (excluding the trip there & back), and averaged 23.7mpg (according to the OBC).

Thanks to Graeme (Mitchy) for organising this, and playing pacemaker for most of the weekend. That little 2.5 goes very well - or Graeme is a nutter - haven't quite decided yet

Olly (twist944) turned up this morning as promised and it made a change to see a decent looking car in front of me. We did our best to get it much dirtier than when it arrived

Had a good, mixed choice of roads from the fast & sweeping A470/A44/A483 to the 20-30mph over the moors/mountains unnamed ones.

Didn't stand around taking photo's as there was driving to be done, so here's the only iPhone snapshot I have which is from our Friday evening F&C in Barmouth. Despite the calm looking nature of the landscape, I can tell you it was blowing a gale (and sand) everywhere.

Here's a video I've put together... Camera died before the triangle

Good to see Mmmmmmmmmmmm-five and Mitchy

Brilliant video!

I need to know how to do that.......

Get it on the national pic pages too http://z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php ... .....Quick!

[twist944]

I only took a few pics!

Nicest arse in town...



Nice Parking.... (....i know my door is safe on your side)



Grim weather...

[mmm-five]

I'll have to get myself a GoPro to connect to Harry's Lap Timer, as your image quality & stabilisation is much better than anything I took with the iPhone (most of which is unsuitable for general viewing).

That was you guys we passed going the opposite way round the Evo triangle (is it possible to go around a triangle?) then.

That roadster was screaming as I went by. Good effort!

Was a tad wet yesterday eh! Had some good weather either side of lunch time though. Had a ball on the B4391 south of Bala...

Will keep an eye out for any future drives up that way...
