First trip to North Wales
Discussion
I returned this morning from my first trip to North Wales, having enjoyed the best driving of my life. Hardly any traffic, plenty of open bends and s-bends, and very smooth, grippy tarmac. Conditions were fairly damp on Saturday and Sunday but the weather held out until it started snowing at about 4:00pm on Sunday.
I drove the Evo Triangle twice and explored the roads around Bala, Aberdyfi and Lake Vyrnwy. I can't wait to return.
A fellow PH'er johnbear is organising a run next weekend if anyone is interested (see North Wales forum) but unfortunately I can't make it.

one thing I have noticed about wales is their roads are generally really well surfaced.
only last week I went to mid wales and could tell i was entering wales by the road being ALOT smoother and the same when leaving, I was thinking "yay back in england" then bump bump bumpy roads again . . . . . . . .

Though there has been a fair amount of publicity regarding the agressive traffic policing policy in North Wales, Police and Speed Camera presence was far lower than expected. Perhaps it is different in the summer.
On the subject of road surface, I was amazed at just how well my Elise gripped on the fairly damp bends. Some bends even seemed to have a special high grip (yellow) material.
