south wales to north driving trip

[MG CHRIS]

Organised a few day run with the mx5 nutz group around south/mid wales and was thinking on doing a multi day trip involving the best of the north wales roads as ive never been up there want some advice on the best road.

The plan will be to head from blackwood south wales over langynider mountain to Brecon, Brecon to builth up through elan valley and over to devils bridge now after that im a newbie to the road going further norhtn. Have heard about the llanbyris pass (spelling my be wrong) obviously the evo tre angle and want to do the great orme road to then into angelesy maybe linking up with a track day.

Any advice would be most appreciated.

A4120 Devil's Bridge to Ponterwyd
Turn left onto A44 then first right
(n.b. unsigned - do NOT go across the bridge over the Afon Rheidol!)
Unclassified past Nant-y-Moch reservoir to A487 at Talybont
A487 to Machynlleth
A489 to Cemmaes Road
Turn left across the railway bridge
A470 to Dinas Mawwdwy (turn right to village centre)
At cross roads turn right
Unclassified (signed Llanymawwdwy) via Bwlch y Groes (Hellfire Pass) to Llanuwchllyn.
B4403/B4391 to Bala
A4212/B4391/A470 to Blaenau Ffestiniog
A470 to junction with A5
Turn right for Evo Triangle
A5 back to Betws-y_coed
A5/A4086 to Llanberis and Caernarfon

Alternatively

A4120 Devil's Bridge to Ponterwyd
A44 to Llangurig
A470 to Llanidloes
B4518 to Llanbrynmair
Turn right onto A458
B4395/B4393 to Lake Vyrnwy

You can then either
Cross the dam to the west side of the lake
Follow this road and look for the left turn signed Dinas Mawwdwy

Or
Continue straight on the east side
Do not turn right (signed Bala)
Take the next right (signed Dinas Mawwdwy as above)

At the next T junction turn right (signed Bala)
(look for the wooden cross in the fork of the junction)
You're now at Bwlch y Groes on the first route

Another (quicker) option omitting Lake Vyrnwy
B4395 (as above)
Turn right instead of left onto B4393
B4391 to Bala


I can't help with accommodation I'm afraid.
My multi day raids have always been solo.
I stay overnight with a friend in Rhyader.

That is brilliant information exactly what im after will get google maps up and link up the roads below and see what I can fit in. My sister is in the hospitality industry so sorting out accommodation should be to hard.
