The Sportsmans Arms is not open as a Pub these days. It does have a car park though the residents might be a bit peed off if 40 of you try to stop there.

Try and get to the Groes Inn near Conwy for your Lunch.
Thanks I was also going to suggest the Groes Inn, but it is quite a way off the evo triangle.

I had heard that the sportsmans arms was closed too,,but not been there for a few years.

I am sure we can all agree on a suitable place to meet up,between now and the 22nd!

Don't restrict yourself to the Evo Triangle, there are other fantastic roads in the area. I note your going to do the llanberis pass for example. Personally I would only do that early or late in the day, Snowdon is very crowded at weekends.

Try The Brondanw Arms at Garreg which is not far from Beddgelert. you will all get in the car park and food is excellent.

There is also a great route from the top of the EVO triangle to Conwy (Also taking you right to a Shell V power station. I'll pm you the route if your like

depending on if anything else is going on there at the same time what about the Visitors Centre at Llyn Brennig

I think you'll find it difficult to assemble 40 cars in that area, quite rightly any commercial concerns won't want 40 cars blocking parking for their customers even if it's only for a short time

if you think it's suitable for a narrow slower car with plenty of twists in the roads then could you please PM it to me

I've not done an exact route yet, but this map gives an indication of the roads we would like to cover.
We start off by going through the Mersey Tunnel then head towards Ruthin, or maybe Denbigh so we can come into the Triangle from the North.
As for eating at an establishment, I'm not particularly bothered about eating, I'll grab something from a garage en route.

as with Sunday the roads are too wide and straight for my narrow slow car I wouldn't be on most of them (as we weren't on Sunday, no one followed us, we were first to leave moving the queue for catering and worrying those sat at the entrance kerb that were only used to modern wide cars smile )



... and you'd have a bit of a wait we're not going to Wales until September

If you see this doing doughnuts - that'll be me.

The first meet of the day will be at Birch services, westbound, just after J19 on the M62 at 7:30am

Weather permitting, I'll also meet you at Bala lake car park if that's okay. I'll either be in my VW Lupo GTI or if my dad comes, we'll be in his E92 M3.
