ROUTE

Where: to Wales!
When: 25th May 2013!
Description:

The meet will start at 11.30 am at the Boycott Arms, Claverley WV5 7DH

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?rls=com.m ... CDcQnwIwAw

We'll be leaving the Boycott Arms about 12.30 noon, but don't panic, its only about an hour to the next stopping point if anyone's still starving!

From the pub we'll be turning right, then left and at the island we'll be going straight ahead sign posted Bridgnorth. Continue along this road past Swancote (swimming pool on right). At the roundabout, take the left turn. At mini roundabout, turn right, down the hill and over brow (sharp right – so be aware of traffic coming on wrong side!) At the bottom of the hill, take 2nd turning over the roundabout (A458). Again, at the bottom of the hill go straight over at the roundabout onto the bypass road. Follow this road to the top of the hill and go straight over signposted Shrewsbury. Go through the village of Moreville and turn left onto the B4368. Should be signposted Craven Arms. Road continues through Aston Ayre, Munslow (Crown Hotel) and out through Diddlebury before reaching Craven Arms. (approx 18 miles) At the main junction (Harry Tuffins opposite) where we should be picking up Dan (trouble) turn right onto the A49 signposted Shrewsbury for approx 1.3 miles) until you come to a left hand junction A489 signposted Newtown. Follow this road for approx 8.5 miles. When you get to the junction at the village of Lydham - turn right onto the A488 for approx .5 miles down the hill and take the road to the left Signposted Churchstoke on the A489. (4.2 miles) When you reach Churchstoke (HUGE Harry Tuffins on the left) Ideal for loo break if anyone wants one..lol. ( usually have 30 mins or so stop here) Follow the A489 through Sarn and Kerry down the steep hill into Newtown (approx 11 miles). At the bottom of the hill you will come to a set of traffic lights ,we'll be going LEFT (MacDonalds opposite). From there we'll return to the main run onto the A483 signposted Llandrindod Wells. At traffic signals follow the road straight over (A489 signposted Machynlleth) at the junction with Mochdre go straight over onto the A470 signposted Llangurig - go over the level crossing and into the next village - Landinam (approx 4.5 miles) watch for mobile speed cam on your left on the long straight *cough*. Continue on the A470 for approx 12 miles Straight over at the new roundabout - head for Aberystwyth by the three bridges and continue to head towards Llangurig/Aberystwyth At the roundabout, take the 2nd exit onto the A44 signposted Aberystwyth. Follow A44 for approx 8 miles to Eisteddfa Gurig carry on that road any you'll pass the Dyffryn Castell Hotel on your right in approx 2.5 miles. Just after the Hotel, we’ll be turning LEFT to Devil’s Bridge. It’s a straight (well a bit bendy and hilly) run from Devil’s Bridge to Aberystwyth. When we reach the main junction in Aberystwyth, this is where we’ll probably get split, so:

At the junction you will need to go RIGHT. At the mini island, take the 2nd Exit, you will see the steep hill that leads to the main roundabout by Morrisons / Macdonalds. At the main roundabout, take the 1st Left . (morrisons on left and petrol station on right) Go straight over at the mini island and you’ll see the large B&Q/ Curry's carpark (ETA 4.15pm)

Turn right just after the bollard and we’ll be parking up at the back end of the car park.

Sorry about this Rhon but I have to pull out of this weekend. Cat got in a fight and needs looking after for the next few days.

First one I've missed since I started I think, gutted. Still, at least I won't have to listen Lewis going on about how cold it's going to be camping.

[rhon]

Ah bless! Lewis has just rung, suns out and blue sky there at the mo 8-) He's gone on ahead to get bits done there ready for tomorrow.

Just finished cleaning the car, thought I'd post up before it gets bucketed on tonight!
