Re: Suggest some good driving roads in north wales.
Best suggestion for you then is definately the Evo triangle! - http://www.drivingroads.co.uk/evo-triangle
Or if thats not good enough for you then i suggest you venture down into mid wales -
Wrexham -> shrewsbury
shrewsbury -> newtown
newtown -> llandrindodd wells
llandrindodd wells -> rhaydaer
rhaydaer -> aberystwyth
aberystwyth -> machynlleth
machynlleth ->Blaenau ffestiniog
Also in Rhaydaer its worth noting down Elan valley as that is also a great drive!
Would also suggest going into the south, Brecon and Pembrokshire are lovely

I love the Elan valley area and never get bored of driving it
Have a look at this post maybe we could all meet up and have a drive out

@Sarah - It's actually April 10th we're going so we might have missed you LOL
I'm going down to Ludlow myself in May for this http://www.springevent.org.uk/
If you're doing a bit of a north wales blast on your way past though, pop a thread up, and I'll check my calendar, I'm sure some of the other north west guys would be intersted too.
@Trouble - I only get 160 miles a tank, you think I'll get round LOL
