January 20th Saturday 11am.

Here are the details of the first meeting point from 10am -11am
Ponderosa cafe, Horseshoe Pass, Llangollen, LL20 8DR,
Try to park end of car park furthest away from the cafe, so we can all park together.
I will be aiming to get the the Ponderosa cafe on top of horse shoe pass for approx 10am, and if everyone can aim to be no later than 11am, for those wishing to have a cuppa, toast, bacon butty etc
We will hopefully , trafic permitting , be driving in convoy through llangollen and along the A5 road to Rhug Farm .

Once everyone has ate/drank at the Ponerosa cafe, and a few photos taken we will drive down the A542(horse shoe pass) into llangollen town, and across the bridge over the river Dee.
Then follow signs for the A5 (corwen) which will take us straight to Thug Farm shop , approx 30 min drive, there is a large layby on the right hand side of the A5 a few miles after Llangollen, which I will pull into, to allow any straglers to catch up, plus its another good vantage point for photos.
Rhug Farm shop
address details : Rhug Estate, A5, Corwen LL21 0EH

That's As far as I've planned as there are a couple of peeps whom are travelling a little further than most, but if anyone knows of another point to go to I'm happy to go along, otherwise we can all,make our way home , or onto other things.

Should there be any mishaps on the day or anyone getting lost or needing help/advice here is my phone number, Alan mcallister, 07706 504570
Cheers peeps and see you all there.

January 20th Saturday 11am.

North Wales meet is being arranged .
It will be starting at the top of the Horse shoe pass in North Wales, for tea and breakfast at the Ponderosa cafe, at approx 11am, where a new 2018 Elgrand OC member pack will be given out to all who attend, and then plenty of oppurtunity for photos. Once everyone has drank and ate it'll be a convoy down the pass into llangollen , then along the scenic A5 and onto the Rhug Farm shop outside Corwen for bison burgers, or what ever takes your fancy. Not sure if we will get chance due to winter weather to get another stop off point in but open for suggestions if time permits.
Cheers peeps.

Hi peeps, just a little update with some info, I've managed to get an up to date members pack sorted to give out at the meet, with some great content, including an exclusive 2018 keyring, which is only being given out to members attending a meet, plus there's a bag full of goodies, and who doesn't like a freebie :)
 
See you all there, looking forward to this lovely part of wales
 
Ok so we got about 3/4 of the way up the mountain this morning. Got flagged down by a woman who had crashed her car. Had to turn back. Even the mighty ellie started slipping like mad. we are in the britannia inn pub car park towards llangollen. Did anyone make there ok?
 
Had two cancellations prior to today, but we had 3 Ellie's and a Suzuki who made it up, but due to the snow getting heavier and one owner having 2 wheel drive it was cut short and after an eventful trip down the horse shoe pass with deep snow and helping a crashed jag, we thought best for everyone to make their way home, but we had fun at the top with snowballs.

Its a shame we only saw your message after we had left, more for my benefit with just 2 wheel drive we decided to get out of there!
