Best driving roads and place to stay in Wales this weekend

[Chunk49]

Hi All

Have Monday off and decided am keen to blast out of London in the c2 with the other half and experience some amazing scenery and driving roads Wales.

Please can you recommend roads / routes and also accommodation for Sat and Sunday night. Am presuming the best routes are to be had around Snowdonia but I literally have no idea so am trusting in the Pistonheads massive.

Short notice I know (just decided on impulse tonight) but looking to be on the road by lunch time tomorrow so come forth with your wisdom!

Well, yes Robbo, there are roads in Wales but rarely as empty as in this video, the cameras are usually hidden round corners, Of course they hate the English the whole world does!! The sheep are very aggressive, they love wiping bumpers of Porsches and it does indeed rain all the time!! Go north.....

You are miles off the mark here mate, you clearly need some guidance about the place.

The other responses above are gently taking the mickey. Its a truly brilliant place to have a driving holiday and much closer to London, where the OP comes from.

I definitely need some guidance, that's why I posted... can anyone recommend any good routes?

FYI Snowdonia showing as roughly the same distance from me as North Yorkshire Moors

Fun in Wales is an oxymoron.

Quite frankly that's nonsense. I was up there at 7am this morning, had three hours of pretty much perfect hooniganism. Not sure where you're driving to find all the cameras you allege exist ?

Sensible choice of roads and the time you use them will go a long way towards ensuring you don't have issues on this front.

What route did you take? Thanks

OP, the weekend's ticking away. Are you going??

Yes just getting stuff together now. Still undecided between Wales (Snowdonia or South Wales) or Yorkshire Dales!

Where did you go Chunk? Was it good ?

Went down to Rye in the end and then up around the Kent coast to Broadstairs, as I want to do Wales trip properly and I think I left it too late to do it justice.

So now thinking of doing it this coming bank holiday weekend but then query whether traffic will be manic due to it being bank holiday! grrrr.
