where in the midlands?

[Rhonsmr2]

it's starting off just outside Bridgenorth, and will go through craven arms, church stoke, newtown, langurig and through to Aberystwyth. We meet there with others from South Wales and then convoy onto our caravan site for a bbq. There is camping available onsite and the owners sectioning us off part of the field specifically for our use.

Hi Rhon,

Might be able to make it this year.

[Rhonsmr2]

Superb!

There are a couple of members who have been to all the wales meets who normally try to convoy up with each other. I'm hoping the Wales rep will be able to coordinate the south wales side and meet up with us in aber

Will keep you posted on whats happening with that side of it.

Would be good to see you if you can make it. There are already 26 names on the list so hopefully it'll be a good meet and the weather will be kind!

Map

There are light snacks available should anyone want them. We will leave the pub around about 12.45 turning left out of the car park.

At the junction we’ll be turning right along the small lane and then at the main road junction, turn left. By going this way, we don’t have to cross any traffic and should be able to keep everyone together. Straight over the island signposted Bridgnorth. Continue along this road past Swancote (swimming pool on right). At the roundabout, take the left turn. At mini roundabout, turn right, down the hill and over brow (sharp right – so be aware of traffic coming on wrong side!) At the bottom of the hill, take 2nd turning over the roundabout (A458). Again, at the bottom of the hill go straight over at the roundabout onto the bypass road. Follow this road to the top of the hill and go straight over signposted Shrewsbury. Go through the village of Moreville and turn left onto the B4368. Should be signposted Craven Arms. Road continues through Aston Ayre, Munslow (Crown Hotel) and out through Diddlebury before reaching Craven Arms. (approx 18 miles)

At the main junction (Harry Tuffins opposite) turn right onto the A49 signposted Shrewsbury for approx 1.3 miles) until you come to a left hand junction A489 signposted Newtown. Follow this road for approx 8.5 miles.

When you get to the junction at the village of Lydham - turn right onto the A488 for approx .5 miles down the hill and take the road to the left Signposted Churchstoke on the A489. (4.2 miles)

When you reach Churchstoke (HUGE Harry Tuffins on the left) Ideal for loo break if anyone wants one..lol. ( usually have 20 mins or so stop here in case anyone wants to join us)

Follow the A489 through Sarn and Kerry down the steep hill into Newtown (approx 11 miles). At the bottom of the hill you will come to an island with MacDonalds opposite. If anyone is joining in here, we'll be parked at the back on the main car park around about 3.00. From there we'll return to the main run onto the A483 signposted Llandrindod Wells.

At traffic signals follow the road straight over (A489 signposted Machynlleth) at the junction with Mochdre go straight over onto the A470 signposted Llangurig - go over the level crossing and into the next village - Landinam (approx 4.5 miles) watch for mobile speed cam on your left on the long straight *cough*. Continue on the A470 for approx 12 miles

Straight over at the new roundabout - head for Aberystwyth by the three bridges and continue to head towards Llangurig/Aberystwyth

At the roundabout, take the 2nd exit onto the A44 signposted Aberystwyth.

Follow A44 for approx 8 miles to Eisteddfa Gurig carry on that road any you'll pass the Dyffryn Castell Hotel on your right in approx 2.5 miles. Still on the A44 you'll reach Ponderwdy with the silver-lead mine on the right and the forest visitor centre. Continue through Goginan (The Druid Inn is on your left) still heading for Aberystwyth. Through Capel Bangor ( watch out for the speed trap at the garage advertising MacDonalds Aber - not always parked there - but sods law lol)

At the mini roundabout, go straight over NOT Bow Street. You will go through Llanbadarn Fawr. At the mini roundabouts take a left turn over the railway crossings to the main roundabout. Morrisons is in front. Take the second exit heading for the shopping centre. Best place to park is on the Focus/ Curry's carpark (ETA 4.15pm)
