Does anyone fancy a trip up to Snowdonia on the Sunday or Monday? Never really been and love driving round mountain ranges, could see if there's anything to rival Applecross.

I went to Rhon's Wales meet a couple of years ago (Thanks Rhon for inviting me it was awesome). I can't attend this year yet again due to a number of constraints (not including the limited spaces), I can however say the 2am run back down through Wales from the campsite was one of my best drives ever. I was so tired from pushing it around every twist that by the time I got to Sedgemoor I had to take a nap before continuing on to Exeter and I'm fairly used to driving up to London or Manchester to go to gigs and then back afterwards arriving home somewhere around 6am with no naps or usually even stops.

I've also been up through Snowdonia before a couple of time and along the A roads to the north and all of them were fantastic drives in a Two. Just time it so there aren't too many other cars on the road or you're likely to get stuck behind traffic and have few opportunities to overtake.

Thanks for the tip Pink, hopefully on bank holiday Monday people will be going in the opposite direction.
