Shropshire / North Wales run out

[Andy665]

Thought I would post in here as well as on the A110 FB page

Having now sold my TVR and handed back my TVR Club role I'd like to spend a bit more time seeing us A110 owners getting together.

Last August I organised a run out from near Shrewsbury over to Ponderosa, then to Bala and back to a pub just off the A5 at Knockin

We had 26 cars and as everyone had a roadbook supplied it was easy to follow and the feedback was very positive.

Who would be up for me running it again, thinking Sunday 17th March

Some details below:

Start point - meet at 8.30am for 9.00 departure
https://w3w.co/duties.fruitcake.lines
A5, Montford Bridge Cafe, Shrewsbury SY4 1EB

First stop - Ponderosa Cafe - 30 miles
https://w3w.co/duet.prep.private
Ponderosa Cafe, Horseshoe Pass, Llangollen LL20 8DR

Second stop - Bala - 25 miles
https://w3w.co/dislikes.farms.tasks
The Loch Cafe, LL23 7SR

Finish - Knockin - 32 miles
https://w3w.co/appealed.character.even
The Bradford Arms SY10 8HJ

Total of 87 miles on some great driving roads with two stops for refreshments - finish time - lunch time and dependant on how long people want to stay at the two stop points

Happy to run if we can get at least 5 of us together

I may not make this one as I pick the car up the day before but looks like a great run out 👍…although the car would be warmed up by the time I get from Abergavenny to Shrewsbury…let’s see what the boss says. Enjoy the run.

Sounds great and i would love to do it but heading out to Germany that weekend. Hopefully catch up on another run.

We should have our Alpine in time for this so would love to join if its going ahead.

Hi,

Would love to join you sometime on a run out but cannot make the 17th March I'm afraid.

Regards

Thanks for suggesting, I know tentative is not an ideal response but I'm a tentative !! we're south Mcr so its a bit of a trek down to meet up that's all, I will sound out any local interest and see if there is an 'interesting' route down to the start point

[A110MW]

Count me in as interested in this.

Sounds fantastic but I am away getting some end of season skiing in then sadly. Keen to join the next one.

Might be one for Tailslide as he is based over that way and another TVR man. :thumb:

I'd be up for this - thanks for suggesting

I am definitely going to be doing this on the date suggested, I know the roads well and will have a good drive out but will be even more fun if people can join me.

I will produce some roadbooks son we are not necessarily forced into travelling in convoy and hope to see some of you there on the 17th March - I will bump this thread closer to the time as a reminder

[springfan62]

Have you put this on the facebook group, there may be more on there that are interested.

[Andy665]

We have our car, so shall see you at meeting point at 08:30-9am.

We are travelling from Congleton/Stoke if anyone else is doing so.

[Andy665]

Excellent thats 3/4 of us

[OliffeFox]

Andy I can’t make this on this occasion but would like to if you do another run so thanks for organising.

Simon

[Andy665]

Weather looking mostly dry for Sunday so should be a good drive out

[Cockyj]

I'm staying nearby for the weekend but don't expect I'll be able to drive that early. I've been there this evening, I'll be there Sunday in spirit . Great roads 👍

[Gibbo205]

Thank you to Andy for organising todays drive out, it was great fun and a week into ownership and 700 miles already, what a car, loving it!

Some photos from today, great to meet and make new friends.

[Andy665]

Great run out today

As promised the WhatsApp group for future drives is now set up - maybe some of the hidden gems that Shropshire can offer can be next
