Bumping this thread.

We basically have every room booked in both hotels. Only Alan booked the track day and it's sold out so we'll figure it out on the day.

Anyway, who is still joining us on this North Wales driving weekend and piss up?
 
Have a single room in the Anglesey Arms for both nights that i'm probably going to cancel. Drop me a message if you want it and i'll cancel it when you're around. I may still come up to spectate the one day depending on how I feel
 
Pretty sure I have twin room booked but I don't fully remember. Happy to share with someone.

Surely we could find a day activity somewhere on Anglesey while Alan's on track.
 
Like Nas says go do some of the glorious roads up there. It may be busy though so eyes open lads, don't want any green laning.

I'm on the reserve list for croft on the 1st but don't expect a call tbh.
 
looks like we'll have to cancel

track days been cancelled
hardly anyone going anymore
and I've come down with a non covid cold
 
So yesterday I went and done this trip by myself with a few added extras along the way.
I set off from my house at 1 pm. Went over to Ammanford then to Llandeilo into lampeter and over to Aberaeron. I had a little stop and this is where I took my first pic by the sea. It was a cracking day for a drive! From there I followed the coast up to Aberystwyth then up to Machynlleth where I took my second pic on the loop. Unfortunately I saw no low flying planes! I went from there up to bala and over to the evo triangle. Unfortunately I didn't take any pics on the triangle and I'm kicking myself that I didn't stop on the incredible lake there though I did do a full lap on the go pro so hopefully I'll take some stills from there!
Once I got off the triangle it was around half 5 and wasn't far from the Anglesey arms. I thought balls to going to the hotel early so I took a detour and went over to raf Valley and had a pic with a model hawk. Unfortunately because it was about 7 pm by the time I got there, there was nothing around the air field and it was pretty quiet!
I headed back around to the Anglesey circuit from there in the hope that maybe I'd be at least able to go near the track and get a pic in the car park but all the gates were locked so got myself a pic by the gates.
So after that I went and got some chips, parked up in a place with a nice view and then headed over to he hotel after a good munch!
Got to the hotel around half 8. Signed in and just chilled out in a nice jacuzzi bath and bedded down for the evening.
Monday morning I got up, had a nice sossig and hash brown bap for my brekkie, took another jacuzzi bath and then headed back.
On the way back I decided to head to caernarfon and then cut through to beddgelert. Managed to get a cracking pic at the foot of a huge Hill. The scenery around there was absolutely incredible! Then after the cut through I headed down to Dolgellau then linked up with the Aberystwyth road and pretty much followed the route home that I took up there! All in all I covered a little over 400 miles in my 22 year old mx5 that didn't skip a beat! It was a shame I didn't do it in my fd with you fellow fdocers but It was an incredible drive!
I'll get on the laptop at some point tomorrow but here's one or 2 that I took on the potato 👍

Saw the MX5 and thought I was looking at the MX5OC forum! Love my little MX5 and my FD!

Looks like a great drive, so I thought I would share some pictures from my driving over the weekend! Not nearly as picturesque as Wales though....
