I have have hired a Morgan three wheeler for later in the week. Can any body recommend a good route that takes in some scenic spots to get photos?
Hi Blake,A month or so back I did the Evo Triangle after great advice from the forum (I hired a Caterham for the day).

Drop down to Llyn Brenig lake for photos - but plenty of chances along the route to pull over as well - there are loads of images if you Google them.
After doing the triangle (top most point) - I headed off to the http://www.brunningandprice.co.uk/penybryn/ (Conwy) for lunch. Great thing is that you can get a window seat and keep an eye on the car in the car park. Fantastic pub/food. Then drop down onto the sea front for more pics.
I did a bit of research first - and, as it happened, set off from Northwich - my car was hired from Oakmere - fantastic well turned out car and great customer service from Simon there BTW.
Here's a synopsis of my route outward (remember to take a power block in case the car doesn't have a charger point - I did and needed it for the phone/GPS - also make sure that you 'avoid motorways' on the trip from Northwich to Ruthin).
Hope you have a great day.

Unfortunately, following GPS to home will take you on some dual carriageways – difficult to avoid however without re-tracing steps.
Note: I can’t vouch for the safety of the roads, conditions or your GPS – these are the instructions that worked for me.
