Hi folks.. I've been looking in to a weekend event for next year.

It's a driving event with an overnight camp and would like to get an idea of numbers interested.

My idea is for everyone to meet up at a location along the M6 and convoy from there to snowdonia national park which I know has some excellent driving roads and views/photo opportunities etc.

There is a camping site at the park for tent stays and also available cabins for those who don't do the roughing it.

After an overnight stay at snowdonia, driving through the valley and through the breacons and the black mountain pass where we gather again for some food etc and then make our separate ways home.

Can you give me your opinion/input please. I think it'll be a great driving event.

I'm still trying to barter with Drayton Manor to see if they can get the costs down to club funds scope, but they seem adamant on keeping it in the thousands rather than hundreds!

Sounds good :thumbup1:

Date dependant, i would be in!

Potentially for me too depending or not whether I'm in the country.

Si on webcam? Now we're talking :-P

Sounds good to me. I did want to do a drive this year from the horse shoe pass in North Wales through to Betws y Coed along the A5 through snowdonia but didn't get the chance with the new baby arriving. ive driven it a few years ago & it was a great drive.

Did this earlier this year in the zed, went from Lee Dents gaff, via horseshoe pass, the evo triangle, A5 and A4026 road to a hotel just outside Caernarfon. Next day down through Snowdonia park and over the black mountains, I did all the top gear roads and it was awesome. I'm in. Don't care when, just let me know. I went on the spring bank holiday beginning of May and it was boiling, sun all the way... lucky I know...

Ill have some of that please Paul

as long as ive a running zed I'm in... so 50/50 chance hehe...

It's not like you've got 2 to choose from or anything.... :xxx:

 

:thumbup:

So it's looking like a go from the looks of the interest already.. Very good!

Just out of interest, is there any particular month that people are more likely to be available? I'm going to contact the campsite and find out a rough estimate and see what sort of deal I can get with them for camping and a few of the cabins for the more arthritic of the group lol

Assuming this would be next year?

Yup, might camp, might cabin, depends on price difference

Same as above

interested dependant on dates and prices!

I believe the clue would be in the thread title and also the first line of the post a hahaha.. Yes nick, I'm looking to arrange it for next year.

I'm going to give it another week before contacting the camp site so I have a reasonable idea of numbers and will get the prices sorted.

I'd be up for this as long as its not in July :)

same as the others price dependent on camping or cabin, never do sleep well in a tent lol...

Luxury hotel, with private jacuzzi, sauna and masseuse, failing that, a cabin I guess.....

I'll have some of this please:)

 

Done these roads loads of times on two wheels.
