Well it's back, bigger and better and at a better time of year, with better weather (warmer hopefully). The main event is on Sunday 15th of June the meeting point will be decided closer to the date,when we have a better idea of numbers of cars, as there are a couple of suitable cafe's in the location for a cuppa and bacon sarnie before the fun beings.

Myself and a few others will be making a weekend of it and will be camping at Shell Island from Friday evening they don't do groups as such, but I see no problems with us booking individually and then camping together for those that wish to join us Friday or Saturday, obviously the site is family orientated so noise will have to be kept down after 10pm which shouldn't be a problem campsite linky https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CDwQjBAwAQ&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.shellisland.co.uk%2Fcamping.h tml&ei=YSFRU-apI8zsO53pgPAP&usg=AFQjCNGqMd2znEdl2D9Bh8Cfi5MLcljTTw&sig2=7oSXcNdrIqUTnIC0kILFwg

Firewood cut and bagged, Shelter sides, doors and groundsheet have arrived (so the weather should be fine) just got to find area down there big enough to accommodate us all. Was wondering whether to use the car park at Llyn Brenig as the meeting point this year, as the cafe's car park is a bit small for all of us

MoleT-5R
Thursday 5th June 2014, 14:11
Think we'll have to meet about 1.30pm at the lake on the Sunday as the tidal road from Shell Island will be closed until 12.07pm as I don't think anyone will be wanting to rush out before the tide comes over the road at approximately 9.00am

MoleT-5R
Thursday 12th June 2014, 01:41
anything we need to address or bring ????

A list of who might pop along on sunday could be handy, so we know who will be meeting us at the lake at 13.30hrs (sat nav post code LL21 9TT ) anyone wanting to pop along for any part of the weekend we will be at LL45 2PJ just look for a large number of Volvo's or an Iveco zombie swat van LL21 9TT )

Warning for V-power users the Shell site in welshpool no longer exists from a few weeks ago (hate to think what went into my tank before York and whether it was even shell, let alone V-Power (but that's another story). On the way in from the midlands Ford services west of Shrewsbury will be your last Shell services, until Betws-y-Coed on the sunday. For anybody worried about quality fuel here's a linky to Shells locator map (you may have to tick a box for the fuel type you require to make sure your search is correct)http://www.shell.co.uk/gbr/products-services/on-the-road/online-station-locator.html

I have a couple of instant bbq's and gas rings etc, fire-pit wood etc to load tomorrow.

Saturday afternoon was spent driving down Welsh country lanes, in particular the Trawsfynydd rally stage, the two olives coped well, but Stewarts S60 T5 was set a bit to low. Again I can't recomend the Syron tyres enough, they're awesome.

My take on the weekend
Started off at around 1:30 after Stewart (external error) came to the house, the first 30 odd miles of the journey were a bit of a concern as I had only fitted the turbo on Thursday afternoon and the car was billowing out quite a bit of smoke, but eventually it cleared after it had burned all the oil out of the exhaust, so there then followed a ‘spirited’ drive to Mallwyd garage where I picked up a box of rose joints and arms (not important for this write-up), we then carried on to Shell Island with a bit more hooning on the way ;) . On arrival we said our hellos and put up our tents, that evening was a nice chill out by the camp fire.
Saturday
Another lovely morning, I went to the cafe for a nice fry up. Then Aid and I set about changing Stewarts wishbones (in there lies a complete new story worthy of a sitcom) then followed a bit more of a chill session while we waited for Jim and Emlyn to arrive, Jim duly turned up but no Emlyn?
At around 3 o clock we went out for a gentle drive around the Welsh countryside ;) and arrived back about 3 and a half hours latter Needless to say I had a big grin on my face and Stewart had ££££ all down the side of his car (he must try harder to keep it on the tarmac :( ).
The evening was spent on the beach with a bar-b-q and a big fire (has to be the coldest fire I’ve ever sat next to.

Sunday
Another glorious morning and another great breakfast most of the morning I was trying to get a decent charge into my phone (leaving the ignition in position 1 for 3 hours, which ment I had 3 hours of video footage of a stationary car which over wrote all the previous days brilliant drive)
The afternoon was a gentle drive up to the Triangle and as they say, the rest is history.
Epic weekend which is going to be very hard to beat.

Well after seeing MRP's how to guide on changing wish bones I think he needs to add something in just to help col and ade's in their senior years, i'm not going to say to much as I respect my elders but lets just say volvo put L and R on the wishbones for a reason and after fitting one wishbone having 2 wishbones with L on off the car was a bit of a head scratching moment, any way so after realizing the error what took almost an hour to do one took 30 mins to redo the wrong one and do the other one. I took the car out for a spin after and no random steering lurches and the car behaved perfectly I didn't get to take to many photos as my battery was almost dead but here's the 2 I have, I'd just like to say no angle grinders were used to perform this task.

Looks a fantastic weekend which I unfortunately missed! Sorry guys a bout of what I can only assume was a bad Chicken Curry saw me not to far from a toilet every 5-10 minutes all of Saturday.

Jim sorry I didn't return your call, I began to dial when the inevitable happened... another trip to the loo!!!

Being a tight arse Northerner the most annoying thing was spending £11 on camping and not getting anything for it ;)

What a great weekend that was, great company, great weather and some great views to be had, on site and on the 2 excursions we had. Saturdays run was a mixture of fast sweeping A roads and some superb twisty scenic lanes around the back of Bala and Lake Vyrnwy and on up though the trawsfynydd ranges.

Took me a while to work out how to get these pic's up from flickr as they have changed everything and I'm a bit slow working there changes out, he's a few more pic's from the weekend and if you click on any of them it should take you to the album, where there are many more from the weekends fun.

The arm swap saga, all thats I'm going to say is I fitted the part I was given....lol and after some serious effort it fitted, then came the questioning of what we had left to fit to the otherside. It was decided that Graeme couldn't have possibly sent Stuart to arms the same so an error must have been made. The arm was swapped for the correct one and the other side changed a great speed and Stuart's car was deemed fit for the afternoon run....and I must add that, no chemical metal was used during this operation...:funkybana
