Re: Wales run 28/29/30 August 2010 -UPDATED 08/08/10
OK guys, a quick search on google later and I have a preliminary route around Snowdonia.
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=d&sourc ... 510132&z=8
1) Start from Aber.
2) Dinas Mawddwy - http://www.snowdoniaguide.com/dinas_mawddwy.html
3) Pass of Llanberis - http://www.snowdoniaguide.com/llanberis_pass.html
4) Conwy
5) Ysbyty Ifan B4407 - http://www.pointandsquirt.co.uk/roads-wales.html
6) Home for tea time (and US Open tennis if you're into that kind of thing).
132 miles before heading for home should make Monday a bit more interesting, all weather depending of course.
Any takers?

Pete, we should be at Harry Tuffins in Churchstoke no later than 1.30pm. You have my number, so can always give me a shout to find where about we're are
Safe journey!

Car's now clean and waxed all ready for tommorow, just a shame the bl00dy thing won't start! Had to push it half the way down the street on my own just to get it going so I could put it back in the garage.
Have a feeling I might have to put my spare starter on in the morn so may be late.

Actually no, I have to get it to Dad's coz that's where the ramps are; Anyway the beers kickin' in now.
It'll start tomorrow, usually does, been worried for years though that I'll have a problem once we get on the grass on the camp site and a bump start is tricky and would probably involve mud at some point.
