Valleys trip 2012

[Ross Parker]

Some mates and I went up to north wales this weekend taking in roads like the EVO triangle, ellan valley and Snowdon. There were meant to be 6 of us but two broke before we started, one crashed before it got to us and the other did half the trip and ran out of tyres. so ended with just an EVO and a Leon. But what a trip and what roads.

What the hell happened to the blue one? And I'm guessing it was the MX5 that ran out of tyres?!

[Trefy5]

Ouch - was just looking at the photos and recognised the MX5's plate as i noticed it on Penybont common(A488) and then seeing the MR2 realised i'd only seen it parked up at Fishpools (Morgan's) yesterday and thought ouch at the time
Must've seen you on Saturday
I wasn't in my mx but the bright work's van

So, like Fisi asked, what happened to the 2? assume the driver/occupants aren't too shaken - we weren't called so no harm

[Ross Parker]

yea if you spotted the mx5 on his own he was on his way back to Milton keynes with not much left on his tyres. The blue MR2 crashed on the previous corner to where it was parked so didnt even make it to any of the decent roads, both the lads were fine, a bit shaken, but we picked them up and carried on anyway. Most of the camping gear was spread accross the road and in the woods. Like the driver said its only a car.

MX was coming north along A488 toward Bleddfa
So, the MR2 was travelling up and lost it on the left-hander below the property?
Just pleased they were okay or you'd have had the dubious pleasure of meeting me

[Ross Parker]

Ahh i take it your ambulance? yea thats the corner i think, the folk at the house said its almost a weekly thing there.

[Trefy5]

Yes
or
ambiwlans

We rarely get called to stuff there as the bumps tend not to cause real injury
Last one i am aware of was a panda(cop) car - during the winter - bit of ice - woops! on the top righ hand corner coming down
