Tour de Snowdon 2025 - 20th - 21st Sept 25

Post by DrewR3 »

Tour de Snowdon 2025

**September**
So, I feel like going for a drive.

This year a one day longer drive, low key private event following the similar route to past weekends, but only pre-ordering the hotel room's and main meal. But will tie in our usual Blaenau Ffestiniog hotel for a late lunch.

This time an end of season run, 20th-21st.

This will not be the fully co-ordinated 2 day drive, instead it will be a meet on day 1 about 1000hrs at Rhug estate, and extended drive through the mountains and upto the North Welsh coast where our hotel will be. (The premium hotel in north wales where many celebs, multiple PMs, international sports teams stay)

What does this mean in brief?

1.The new start will be Rhug estate where we finished last time, approx a further 15 miles into Wales.
2. We will be doing the similar 1-way route instead of 2 smaller routes over 2 days. This will give a whole different route context to those who came previously.
3. There maybe a pre booked lunch, pending what people want or their is plenty of locations to stop with a BYO picnic style if preferred. We will stop at the same pub as usual for either drink or rest or purchase individual lunch. Again this will depend on what we decide or BYO lunch to eat by the car. I will add stops, times and locats on the route plan later.
4. I will use my usual contact 😉 to reduce rates at the normal evening hotel of the Deganwy Quay for Sat evening. This will not be a group booking, i will provide a contact number via pm for you to book at an agreed price. Depending on numbers to book an evening meal this may be the only pre-order to assist the hotel for personal reasons that i dont mind assisting these 😂😂 plus its in my best interest to help out with this one..........
5. Day 2 will be wake at your leisure, breakfast and then explore all that Conwy has in your own time or head home straight out the a55 corridor from conwy.


So, basically Im going for a drive and stopping for lunch. Then going for beers and having some "Cheesecake" 😉 in the evening while crashing over night at a nice hotel. Join me if you wish. My car will be leaving Rhug at 10:30hrs sharp..... I will copy and paste the routes up from my other thread in the different order when on computer......This was a much easier idea 😂😂😂

Done. You can always bring the Audi TT if you've not blown that up either

Javelin have a track day at Anglesey on Monday 22nd Sept. Doing a double header road trip and track day would be enough to tempt me all the way up there.

You mean the drive I do every week 🤣

The 20th-21st is looking favoured at the moment. Perhaps it may tempt a few other track goers.

Maybe, although we'd have to come up with a group plan to fill the Sunday if enough people want to do the drive and track. Maybe something like zipworld?

I think you win the club award for most unreasonable commute

I think given the track day and 80% win so far on the later date we will go for that.

Looking an OK turnout quite quickly, 6 of us so far. Not that I wish to encourage signing up promptly but we may cap this at about 15 cars. It just becomes quite hard to manage a Convoy bigger than that through mountain roads and multiple junctions in small towns
