Welsh U Turn Convention: Travelling from the N or NE thread

[Yeti]

I'll be going over the hill at some point to head south so any suggestions regarding meeting up with others on the way down from the north??

I might well take the scenic route down through Wales

.....any takers?

[piguglyshandydrinker]

The N Westerners (and me ) normally have a meetup at somewhere like Lymm services on the M6 on Friday morning & a steady ride down through Wales with a couple of stops en route, a stop at the Ponderosa has been mentioned.

As yet, I don't think that anything has been sorted for definate.

Sounds like the start of a plan. I definately intend to go through Wales whilst there, rather than round it on the motorway.

I will be heading south on the Sunday though so will not be making my way back with you guys. or at least thats the plan for now.

I'll be setting off on the Friday morning from the Costa Del Redcar

Not sure what time or what route yet so i'll keep my eyes on this thread and may join up, i'll see how it develops.

I am not taking Friday off work but will travel down from either Blackpool or Warrington at about 3.30 to 4.00pm. I did this last year and arrived at Pembroke at about 7.30 with only the last hour or so along the A40 being in the dark.

Happy to hook up with anyone with similar plans. Route will be Chester - Wrexham - Oswestry -Welshpool - Newtown - Llandrindod Wells - Builth Wells - Llandovery - Camarthen - Pembroke.

Hi Austin

We shall be setting off similar time too once we've collected and settled the kids from school. You have the same route plan as I did last year except I'll have the Boss with me so no offroad play in the Brecons as a detour

I left at the same time but did not get there till 8.30pm ish from memory

We can talk nearer the time but it sound like a plan so far

Thats about right as palerider and myself got there about 1930 and by the time we phoned the pub and got the code for the bunkhouse and got changed etc we were halfway up the road and heard a bike roaring up and it was you Paul

So we turned round and walked all the way back to show you how to get in lol... ya git

Last year we met at Lymm services then went via Chester, Bala, Dolgellau, Aberystwyth, down the coast to Pembroke Dock, good run

Then back up the middle on Sunday maybe squeeze Rayader dams in this time ??????????

Time to suit my preference would be 10 ish meet at Lymm Services M6 and take time going down as I will have Catherine on the back and she does not like me going too quick
