Meet idea - drive down the A5

Post by **classicswede** » 28 Aug 2007 07:23 pm

Ok just an idea for a possible meet with a slight twist to normal.

The rough idea of the meet would be to meet up around Telford (exact location can be arranged later) and park up for a while. At oubout lunch time ish we could set off in convoy along the A5 to wet and windy Wales

I'm sure I can work out a good place for food atc depending on how far ppl would be willing to go.

I do relise that not a huge number will be interested but it a fantastic drive and would probably be best in limited numbers anyway.

So does anyone like the idea?

Sounds like a good idea, bot me and gem would be up for that. All depends when. It looks like the MOT is not happening untill the 11th so we're not going to make the warwick meet which has really ennoyed us.

Aye, the A5 is quite fun....

I remember getting off a train at Llangollen, watching the engine run around the stock, going to the local curry house and ordering a takeaway, driving up to Glyndyfddwllllryyylyyyw (christ knows, but it has no vowels!) with said takeaway, and then watching the train arrive!!

For those in the know it's called the 'Class 20 avoidance move'.

I'm pleased with the interest so far

I'll have a further think about possible meeting place and end destination

Dai

Have you had a think about this. Gem's car should be back on the road this week and it would be good to have a run out in it at some point soon.

Cheers

Any ideas for dates on this? I'm thinking early-mid October would be good?

Post by **d3k4y0** » 10 Sep 2007 09:57 pm

Sunday the 14th?

Post by **classicswede** » 14 Sep 2007 01:24 pm

The 14'th sounds good to me. I'm fairly sure I'll be in the 240 as there is now way the 340 will be ready by then.

I've not looked properly yet as to where to go but Llanberis does have some good (Free

) places to vist. There is the slate works and also the electric mountain as possibles. If that is to far for everyone then I will think of somewhere a little less into nowhere

The 14th seem fine for us as well.
