While reviewing some of the calendar events, i have seen the opportunity to arrange another club event, as was also mentioned on the original thread.

 

Original thread is regarding the wedding convoy at Beaumaris: https://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?188140-Son-in-law-of-a-300zx-fairlady-owner-in-need-of-some-help-possibly

 

My plan is to arrive Friday night, to enable a full day Saturday of driving/touristing, and then join the wedding convoy on Sunday.

 

I have previously stayed at a B&B on Anglesey which i would use again, and the owner is a bit of a car guy too.

Happy to find a hotel or other location elsewhere, maybe on the mainland, but this was my initial thought.

 

 

The plan for Saturday:

 

After breakfast, a Snowdon route taking in one or more of Llanberis, Beddgelert, Capel Curig, Betws-y-Coed, stopping for lunch somewhere along the way, aiming towards Blaenau for the afternoon. These are some great mountain and valley roads with great views.

 

If the weather is not too brilliant on the day, then we could reduce the driving in favour of activities and visit the Anglesey Transport Museum, Tacla Taid, before leaving the island:

In the late afternoon, i plan to stop at Blaenau Ffestiniog and visit the Slate Caverns.

 

I intend to book the Zipworld Caverns experience for me, wife and son, which is about 3 hours of fun.

This is about £65 each, but we missed out last time i was there.

If anyone else wants to do that, i can try and sort out a group booking.

 

October bookings are not able to be made at the moment, but i am watching the booking site every day ;)

For the less adventurous, there is also the normal Slate Cavern tours which are well worth a visit.

The cafe here is also pretty good, if we wanted more driving and later lunch before the Caverns events.

Then, an evening drive back to the B&B, dinner somewhere (or can also be arranged at the B&B), ready for the wedding convoy on Sunday.

 

The weather "might" be wet, and will get dark early, which is why i plan to drive and see the sights in the day, and do the caverns in the afternoon/evening.

 

Who's in?

Nice one. Are you interested in the zip line/climbing through the caverns as well Ian?

Sadly, as posted in the wedding thread, we have learnt that Max has passed away, so we may not know whether a convoy would still be wanted in his honour or not.

 

However, I still plan to spend the weekend in the area, and will be available if required.

 

I have booked the zip world caverns for my family at 3:30pm, as those dates are now available to book on the website.

These do sell out, and might only be available on the day if there are cancellations, so if you want to join in, I would suggest booking, after checking on the cancellation terms.

 

This might seem a long time away, but booking events needs commitment :lol:
