Gents,
Just putting some feelers out for numbers who would be interested in a trip to the triangle September time, Maybe stay up there or incorporate a Anglesey
Trackday in with it as well.
Please let me know best dates and any recommendations on accommodation.
Cheers

any date around a good 5 day forecast..:-D
as for accommodation, it's got to have on site secure parking(that could be a problem in wales...starbucks is still a bit of a mystery!)...

Interested mate but could prob only do a long weekend (3 days)

Dependent on dates, I could do an overnight. Llandudno or Abersoch (its full of millionaires!) Would probably be alright for secure night stay

I'm actually taking my CSL over to Wales 6-9 September, including a blast around the Evo Triangle. More or less planned my route (coming from London and trying to take in some other good roads) and will let you know if I find anything of particular note. That said, looking through the thread, it seems that you have some veterans involved already.

Afternoon all.

Just wanted to let you know that I got back from my Wales road trip yesterday. Driving my CSL back-to-back with a mate's V12 Vantage was outrageous fun. We had someone else in the mix with a DBS at one point too. The CSL held its own but I am slightly in love with the Vantage.

I am not sure what direction you are all coming from and so what will be possible but it's definitely worth checking out the Black Mountain Pass if you're around the Brecon Beacons.

Also, the Horseshoe Pass is quite near the Evo Triangle. It isn't very long but is worth a look. Some of the other roads around the Evo triangle are quite fun too, around Denbigh, Ruthin, etc.

The A487 and A470 have some good sections as well heading north from Llandovery towards Aberystwyth.

Some of the A roads can get a bit congested so it's probably worth taking the occasional side road and hoping for the best.

Hope it goes well!

Accom is patchy from what I can see - Grove House B&B (01690 710347) has 3 doubles that are £50 for single occupancy - not sure it's off road parking, there are a few others with the odd spare bed here and there but as it's only couple of weeks off, things are full plus some only allow a min of a 2 night stay

I think the best thing is as Jon said, go onto:

http://www.betws-y-coed.co.uk/

find a room and assemble when we get there.

Sound ok?

Jon8710
10-09-2013, 07:08 PM
right !
how about this gaff

Ty Gorsaf Hotel
Ty Gorsaf, 1 High St
Blaenau-Ffestiniog, Gwynedd, LL41 3ES, Wales

if you go on booking.com theres plenty of accomodation and its a pub !
there is public parking at the back of the hotel with CCTV

£50 single
£80 double

Shimmy, several pics are next to a cemetery! As for the route it was a shade under 350 miles with mileage to the start point on top.
It would be great to get a few more involved next year......Evo triangle to be avoided unless you're driving at legal speeds!

Did Chirk McDs to Llangadog 'n' back today in the 325ci - there are some awesome sections on the A483 even in the old 'vert. The CSL would have been more brutal and more of a wrestle, but the 325 was really good fun.

I did the Evo triangle the following day from you. We had driven both ways by 9am on the Sunday. It was amazing . It's so open and unjerlating. We had a great day with 255 miles door to door.
We had a great coffee and cake at LLYN Brenig lake off the B4501(triangle).
We set off at 6:30 and the roads were dead. Great day
