Ok i will get some dates sorted. you must remember I am new to this so any advice regarding route stops and the like would be appriciated.

One thing i have already organised is the meeting place: This will be at Demon Tweeks http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk in Wrexham, Butty van available and a chance to have a look around the showrooms for half an hour or so. For those who have never visited Demon tweeks you will be in for a treat.I am trying to organise some special offers from Demon's for all members that turn up.

Propose a start in Llangollen, over the horseshoe pass, then pick up the A5 near Corwen, into Betwys y coed. through Snowdonia National Park. To Caernarfon. return from Caernarfon through Llanberis, Llanberis pass. Beddgelert, Portmadoc. back to Llangollen. Stunning Scenery on this route. Thinking of the end of August. This is a full day out.
