Was gonna do this last weekend but . . . . . Lake Vynwy and on to Llanidloes via Dolgellau and then on to Cross gates. Lots of entertaining road that don't require huge speeds to hold you attention. 9am out of Lymm services.
This area I know very very well , Be very careful if you see a blue Volvo Parked in layby with bonnet up, It has not broke down it is a traffic cop With camera in back window , Area Newtown to Crossgates. .
