...No?.....well go take a look, what a place! cant wait to go back, amazing scenery and the roads...well the roads, how much fun?!

Just thought I'd share a few pics out of the hundreds we took lol

Wales makes the perfect backdrop for a classic if you ask me




[IMG][/IMG]



















We stayed in Porthmadog near Snowdon, any body on here been to those parts? what did you think? we had an amazing time.

 

oh as you may have noticed, it was a while back, only just got round to sorting some pics out.

 

Cool roads eh, I get to work there all year round

its just a shame work wont let me use the subaru to get about

Glad to hear you had a good time, there are some amazing coastal roads around there, Criccieth and Barmouth are also very good places to stay. and the crown in Barmouth is only £30 pp per night (including a bottle of wine in newly refubed rooms). Bargain

 

Are some of those photos taken near Dinas Mawdy? (I think thats the spelling)

I recognize some of those locations from my visits to Twywn on the coast

 

Nice in the summer but I bet it can be a bitch in the winter, especially if you don't have your scooby to drive.
Cheers for the info, I will be going back next year and if I had the money I would prob have a second home there too, amazing place, ur lucky to have those roads to drive on, tho have to say to some of the blind corners lol

...oh and we did get to the coast, don't know where it was lol we just seemed to find ourselves there and stopped when the road ran out!

 

Not shore to be honest I'd have to ask my girlfriend, she knows the area quite well, most the shots were on the way to mnt snowdon, most the roads we went on were around the north and east of snowdonia national park, we stayed in a place called penwyn doudrith (think thats how you spell it but probably not) near porth madog, Dinas Mawdy does sound familure .

 

Were abouts in Porthmadog did you stay?

 

great pics mate u got a dwarf on ur roof

 

dude i live in beddgelert, just down in that valey, but i live in criccieth haf the time.

 

My Dad comes from North Wales and yes, its a nice place.

Anyone else thats thinking about going - watch out for these tw*ts BBC NEWS | Wales | Police use anti-speeding horsebox

 

Hi, we had a cattage in Perhyndeudraeth just up a hill above the main street, its just down the road from portmeirion?.

lol me girlfriend took that one, was an amazing view rnd there.

 

Yeah had me eye out for them the sneaky gits, didn't see any though. I was taking it easy most the time though anyway, at least until I new the roads , if you do go to these parts please don't drive too fast if you don't know the roads, you WILL get into trouble,I had a near miss on a blind and tight bend, luckaly I was going slow as the car coming my way was half in my lane it was very very close

 

Think we went through there on the way to snowdon, its an amazing area your very lucky to have views like that...then I do live in Cambridge (prob the flattest part of the uk) so what are mere hills to you are mountains to me, and what are mountains to you are bloomin huge!!! to me lol

 

Oh a big shout by the way to all the Scooby drivers I sore on the way and especially in porthmadog, some nice cars and got lots of waves

 

I too am lucky enough to be from North Wales. I'd have to agree they are amazing driving roads!!

Brunstrom really needs to get a life.Maybe if he worked in an inner city area,he might get his priorities in order.
Can't believe any self respecting copper would go home thinking that they had achieved something sat in the back of one of those!

 

Not just the hills, sheep and roads in North Wales, the coast is beautiful too>



Sonorous Welsh music at quiet and relaxing Beaumaris>



Nice walks at some areas of outstanding natural beauty (wellies essential, though)>



I am bias, too right

 

Lucky you mate, Criccieth in the summer is awesome and the road from porthmadog through to abersoch has some awesome views.


I normally stay in the lion or red lion is it nice little hotel and pub, Cant understand why they dont have a pub on the front by the castle there are some stunning views around there.

 

Yep a some greate sea views and....rather odd sheep ......howling at the....sun?! lol





Oh! and found proof Wales IS man made....you can clearly see where a piece of the ground has worn away...or did they just miss a bit?

 

north wales can be pretty spectacular on a good day, the outdoor leasure business has gone crazy since i lived there, i grew up around BALA , and we used to go to porthmadog in the summer , black rock beach especially
the roads get better the further into the middle of north wales you go

 

some really beautiful pics
i was in south wales last week, went to the caves... it was awesome
wiley

 

LOL @ post 20, JPF

You are right, Wiley.
Roads like Brecon Beacon roads are awesome


Sea views are magnificent


Lakes and rivers at the beacon are breath taking


And, gigantic Carmarthen Fans patterns seem to be scratched on from some giant's hand!


Wales as a whole is very beautiful, no doubt. Good roads, astounding landscape, and cleaner air

 

Grew up in Chester and used to drive around there when I was a lad. Unfortunately in a beige 1.3 Mark 3 Escort estate! Must get up there in the Scoob sometime.

Used to be over in Bala a lot, fantastic roads, only downside was the amount of caravans about.

 

as someone menchoned erlier, the roads round hear esbesialy round the valleys of snowdon are spot on for scooby driving (belive me, i know, spend a whole lota time up their, haha) but if you do go up those ways, TAKE IT EASY till youv driven it at least once, they are very unpredictibl and youl almost garanted to meet a bus or a damn caravan in the middle of the road, or a sheep... or goat, haha, glad you like the area, ill try nd get some pics iv taken from up their.

 

Wales is great,i like everything about wales except for Rhyl.was gonna go there this weekend for a drive in the scoob,visit some places i used to go to yrs ago,except i got to drive past weston park.With the v fest going on,im staying well clear of that area.It was bad enough on Friday.It's a good drive from Barmouth to Aberystwyth.

 

hears one of my dog cheking out the view, haha

 

Been to North Wales twice this year, and the only thing Ive come back with where 6 points on my license.

Went at the beginning of the year, got caught speeding!!!! and went last month and got caught again!!!!

Never got caught before in 7 years of driving and twice in one year, Dont think ill be going back anytime soon!!!!

 

I grew up in malpas, about 15 miles from chester.

Love north wales,roads round bala are really good if you dont get stuck behind somebody. Went to anglesey on thursday and really enjoyed taking the kids there, good roads and scenery.

 

i never find views like them when I go for a drive in Wales.

not sure which B road to take and where to head for
