Dear All,

I am currently arranging a North Wales Snowdonia tour for the end of the season. It’s planned for the weekend of Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th September 2009. Some of you may recall the previous Snowdonia tour that was arranged in September 2007, by Aled and I. The feedback from that was excellent.
It’s a tour of Snowdonia National Park in North Wales and will consist of the following;

Saturday 12th September:

Meet in the morning at “Cae Gwyn Farm” Campsite, a few miles north of Dolgellau. The farm itself is set in the heart of 190 Acres of a beautiful Nature Reserve, with stunning views in all directions.
It’s a really nice site, good clean facilities, secure and ample parking for the cars, with easy access to Snowdonia National Park.
We will then proceed in convoy around Snowdonia, taking in some fabulous scenery and driving some of the best roads Wales has to offer. We may even venture towards Angelsey (exact route to be confirmed).
We will be stopping off at various points of interest throughout the day, returning in the evening to the campsite for a well earned BBQ and beers.




Sunday 13th September:

Breakfast at the Campsite, clean the cars, then off for another great day, travelling through Snowdonia and out towards the coast before finishing up at “The Horseshoe Pass” in Llangollen. We’ve picked this as the finishing point for three reasons, it’s a great meeting point, popular with motorbikes and sports cars, secondly, it has fantastic views and thirdly it’s within easy access of the local road networks, eg. A55, M56, M6 etc. See http://www.ponderosacafe.co.uk/ for more details.

The Cost:

Camping –

£7.50 per adult per night. This is an all-inclusive charge for use of the facilities for campers, i.e. hot water, showers, electricity and Wi-Fi facilities.


Camping Barn :



Those wishing to upgrade, have the opportunity to stay in a converted barn with camp-beds provided. This is limited to 10 persons and will be on a “first come first served” basis. (***Only 3 spaces left in barn***..4/8/09)
The cost of the barn is £10 per adult per night. This is an all inclusive fee for the use of the facilities; Toasters, electric kettle, microwave, plates & cups/glasses, cutlery & crockery, refrigerator, sink with hot water, chairs & tables, oven with 4 ring hob, electric heater in cold weather, DVD player, complimentary tea & coffee.

Those of you staying in the barn have the option to cook brekkie with the facilities provided or have a continental breakfast in the Farmhouse for £4 each.
For more information on the campsite, feel free to view http://www.caegwynfarm.co.uk/index.htm

***If anybody would like to stay an additional night, either the Friday, Sunday, or both, then please let me know. Im sure this can be accomodated.***




The Important Bit:

*All bookings to be made with me*

Anyone wishing to join this year’s tour needs to PM me via this site ASAP to secure their place. At present it is limited to 25 cars, but depending on interest shown, we may be able to extend this number.

With the last tour, we did have a problem with some people who said they would come; a place was booked for them by me, only to cancel at the last minute. With that in mind and an agreement made with the campsite, a deposit of £10 per person is required.


Any questions or queries, don’t hesitate to ask. Just post on this thread.

Dave and Aled
