28th June 2014 - Aston Welsh Weekender - 'save the date'

[Ian365]

This would be a short jaunt from the Forest of Dean for me & Lisa so this could well be our first meet!

[bananarob]

Do you think you can take a detour near to Pen Y Fan? As much as I'd love to join you, on the 28th June I shall be taking part in a 12 hour nonstop race, involving cycling, climbing a mountain and canoeing raising money for action medical research for children....

The possible sight and sound of a bunch of Astons going past will certainly help with motivation!

Just a thought! Hope you all have a brilliant time!

Rob (donations welcome of course)

First I've heard of an Aston in the F o D - will be looking out for you!

Tell us when & where Rob & we will write it into the route! Come & join us for the Saturday night - what better way to recover!

Good luck & hope to see you soon

I'm very disappointed, these are such unmissable events!
Unfortunately I'll be in the Vanquish in the Swiss Alps
(If the gearbox holds up).

Come to Wales instead Neil - at least if it breaks down there its not so far to recover it

Very tempting Molly, very tempting indeed, but "she who must be obeyed" insists its Andermatt and Grindelwald.

Can't say I blame her. We get the best of both worlds - we are off to the Alps the following week

Can't do this either.....will be away...I think.....

Yep, 40 square miles of forest and I'm pretty sure we're the only one.

Are you an area import or an original (mention the bear - or not )

No, not an original, which will be easily discernible from my only having five digits per hand, the fact that I have a neck, and I won't be chewing on a badger's leg. No bears (yet) but plenty of boar. Damned things tore the garden up last year.

WOW I am impressed with this Aston Martin scene, I won't have any weekends left!!

Me and Deb are up for this :-)

You know it makes sense

[V12woollie]

Had a chat with SWMBO and the answer was 'no, we can't come back from holiday early so you can drive round Wales like a banzai'.

Shame as it is a fantastic meet to be at, so if you haven't been before then make time to be there. Great cars, great people and great roads. How much better can it get?!

[roughrider]

Don't know if you guys have already done it, but the B4391 between Bala and Ffestiniog is a stunning road, with awesome views...

Hi Molly
I look forward to joining this august group and will be travelling from Monmouth so no excuse not to be there!

Molly/Rob - did you try the hotel last weekend? Did it live up to expectation?

(and a free bump of the thread

[Bincenzo]

Molls, will put it to the Old Trout, but suspect she may have something up her sleeve for my Birthday......mind you, it might be a weekend doing what I like most! Be in touch soon.

Yes Jon, we did & yes, the plan is forming The Metropole is well-known amongst petrolheads and they regularly host car & bike clubs so I think they will cope with us.
