Mick's Motoring Wales Wander

[Skull]

Nothing is actually booked yet

Snowdon Railway https://snowdon.vticket.co.uk/ only goes to the summit station after 15th May and then tickets are hard to get without early booking online.

Is that why you've amended/cancelled LLanberis Mick as on your dates it's only a partial journey? I was going to meet my Mrs at the top last year but it was £50 on the steam train

Hmmmm! I may have to pack a collar for the next trip!

Keep your proclivities off here please

Indeed it is, no point in doing anything by halves plus we've already done the ride to the top!!

I actually thought you were making a joke and would explain that it was Greek or Russian Orthodox, or something like that.

I wish that Jesus chap would make up his mind when he died. He's always born on the same day...

Calling all Mid Wales, North Wales, Lancashire and Cheshire members. We are driving through your areas in April as detailed above. Anyone care to come and say Hello over a coffee or a beer would be most welcome, just let us know on here and we can get some ideas together.

Merseyside on the 24th April, that pretty close to me, will try best to come and join in.

Looking on the route you head sort of Stockport way, towards Derbyshire. Also talk of big old engines,

Puts me in mind of Anson Engine museum

Now there's a museum I could very much enjoy Matt

Just had a look at the plan Mick can you tell me the Coleford times, I might join you for dinner, also I have to warn you Monmouth is at the moment a mess of road works right down the main street so one way traffic only.

And after the engine museum there's the gearbox museum and back axle museum to go!

I'll have to call off the possibility of a meet-up on the 21st. The NARSA radio rally is on in Blackpool and my radio club is manning (personning?) one of the entrances.

There's a possibility of the previous day though. It's not too far for a drive. But where? And for how long?

[mickthemaverick]

It's all been happening while I've been in the garage!!

Gibbo: Thursday 18th April we intend to arrive in Coleford at The Angel Hotel around six to have dinner there at 7. If you could join us whenever it would be great, obviously the same applies to Forrester!!

PaulR: A pity about Sunday 21st as we are hoping MattB can join us then too. However on Saturday we are driving up through Bangor for lunch then on to Colwyn Bay for dinner at a venue to be decided on the night as we are staying in a B&B that night. Happy to drive from there to meet you somewhere but obviously we don't really want to drive too much further after the day in the saddle!!

Still open to anyone else who is along the route and fancies a quick coffee or beer depending on where and when!!

[Paul-R]

Is PaulXM still on for Bangor and is it just for a 'Hello' or for lunch?

[myglaren]

Just be sure that your navigator is up to speed.

[mickthemaverick]

I haven't heard anything from PaulXM to this point, I think Jim was going to contact him and see what is what but I've no idea as yet!!

Taking into account recent developments the agenda now looks like this:
