September Welsh Cruise
September Welsh Cruise
After Billz & Mozz's sterling work on the 6th April, and the brilliant company, I am planning a run around North Wales, this takes in most of the best roads and scenery that North Wales has to offer (Including the EVO) and a run around the Great Orm (Small Toll Charge), Over the Menai Bridge into Anglesey and over the Britannia Bridge off the Island.

Re: September Welsh Cruise
Lets keep this one together please, accept for the occasional road I would like to keep the cars as a group and not spread out, as part of the route can be very busy, and it is so easy to loose someone, please keep in contact with the car behind you.
I have put together some postcodes for re group points around the route Just In Case we do lose anyone. These are not stopping points unless stated.
Sweeper (Last Vehicle) is the only vehicle to have lights on please, unless the weather dictates otherwise.
There is an excellent article from Spokey on here regarding cruise Etiquette.

Re: September Welsh Cruise
The Lunch stop will be a carvery, is that OK with everyone? If not let me know and I will see if I can get a menu posted up, as it will be best if we pre order any other meals other than the carvery..

Re: September Welsh Cruise
Do any of the cycle event road closures on the 14th affect the cruise route?
Closure details/map is on www.humanrace.co.uk/events/cycling/etape-cymru

Re: September Welsh Cruise
Well spotted Bas, it effects one road at the very begining, so wil be rerouting for that short stage, not a problem though as it was a detour I wanted to take in due to a photograph opportunity.

Re: September Welsh Cruise
I did see you the other day TaffZee, haha. Took me about 10 minutes to realise what was going on
Was going to ask about the road closures in the area, did see a few signs up for diverting traffic. Fingers crossed for the weather, as last weekend was bloody gorgeous.
bought a GoPro today as I'm going traveling on the Tuesday, so going to test it out on Sunday
see you all then chaps

Absolutely, still gutted
Re: September Welsh Cruise
Hi TaffZee and all.
I had hoped to get along to this little jolly as I'm long overdue a visit to all my rellies in N Wales and could've combined the two, but unfortunately it turns out we can't make it happen this weekend and we will be making the trip the following weekend instead. Shame.
I know most of the roads on your itinerary and it's a FAB route!
Hopefully Alfie, Mrs Alfie and RED might find time to cover some of the same tarmac a week after you lot!
Hope you all have a grand day out and I'll look forward to seeing the photos and hearing the stories.
Cheers!
Alfie.

Re: September Welsh Cruise
Wasnt sure it was you, just seen a zed and gave a wave, should be a good day once we clear Llangollen. Trouble with the nice weather as you know it brings everyone out on the roads, but a few of the roads on the cruise are not well used so should be able to get some spirited driving in.MRTOWERHILL wrote:I did see you the other day TaffZee, haha.
