Following on from the success of our series of TVR adventure into North Wales its time for the November run into North Wales or as the tourist board call it ‘The Big Country’.


So here it is the North Wales 24th November Tour. It’s on a Saturday as usual. (oh, there will be a Xmas trip this year again - details later)




http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCv7CZ8URPw


The trip takes a fair bit of planning and time so I going to ask for a £10 donation per car to the charity Wispa - World Society for the Protection of Animals (particularly bears - you got to love em) https://www.wspadonations.org/wspauk.aspx. I’ll collect the money on the day – get those tenners ready!

The route is 179 miles. We’ll start out at 9.30 and stop for lunch around
Portmadog for lunch at 12.00ish. There’s 3 or so hours of driving in the afternoon before heading to the Lion Quays Hotel outside Oswestry (OK, Chirk if your local), where we can finish up at about 5.30 pm.

We can take a few beers at Lion Quays and maybe a meal. For those who wish to stay Saturday night , I've selected Lion Quays. www.lionquays.co.uk
The rooms cost £95 for a Double and £75 for a single. They will offer lower rates just haggle.

The route will avoid the main routes and take in more challenging scenic roads. We’ll take in our favourite roads from the last trip.

We’ll start out a few miles closer at the Shrewbury Dobbies garden Centre Roundabout Roundabout. The same one used for the October tour.

I recommend purchase some cheap walkie talkie this time like the Binatone MR150. You can get them from Asda.

I've got Autoroute 2006 so you can download direction and TomTom Files. I supply details a few days before.

Anyway post if you wish to join.

I haven't missed one this year so wouldn't want to upset the sequence. Not sure what car I'll be bringing, depends on the weather I suppose.
