Hey Jim, sorry about my non attendance :sorry:. Not well at the moment, and I slept through the alarm. I woke up about 10 minutes before Mozza rang. Apologies to Mozza as well because I don't really know what I said to him. I vaguely remember him saying something about hospital, but that's it...

Hope the day went as well as it normally does :D

Lunch In LlanfairPG


Llanfairpwll on Anglesey is known by many as "that place in Wales with the long name". And so you may ask, what does this name mean? Well it goes something like this:
"Saint Mary's Church by the white hazel pool, near the fierce whirlpool with the church of Saint Tysilio by the red cave!"

The true story behind this name is that it was dreamed up by a local businessman during the Victorian period to attract visitors from England.


At this time the railways were a new invention like the iPod and MP3 today. So when they reached Anglesey, a station was built at Llanfairpwll, the first stop after crossing the Menai Straits.
Apparently, visitors would flock to this gentleman's shop to discover the secret cure for lockjaw, said to be sealed in an envelope.

And what was the remedy? A piece of paper printed with the full name of the village!
You can still visit the station today. Now owned by a co-operative of villagers, it has been fully restored and includes the full name plate in its original style.
 
300 miles of bliss...out in the M with the other half and my mates...it's a pitty I Can't video the noise from the tunnels..makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up...as always Jim..top notch show.
Also met some new face..which I'm sure we'll see again...
and as you said ..if you don't get bollicking then you doing it wrong...haha..thanks from me and rootz
 
Looks like a fantastic cruise , would love to do a welsh cruise , but would have to stay over a few nights , glad you all had a good day ;)
 
Well just got back. A great trundle around the mountains n fields. Great company and a nice selection of cars. Dont know what my MPG is but should be quite reasonable due to steady driving not like the :racecar: Kim talking to me now just dont think she likes :rally: around
 
Great day today thanks Jim for organising. I held back at Llanberis to get some clear road and caught up but then lost touch after waiting for pingu. We had some fun trying to get back but I needed fuel and we ended up back in Betwys with me on fumes. Great day and my car has had a hammering. Got some video but off on holiday tomorrow so will be a while posting that.
 
Looks like you all had a great time. Thanks everyone for posting the pictures. Love seeing lots of Zeds on a cruise.
 
Glad you all had a great 'Top Down' day, scenery looks amazing and good line up of Zeds under the Great Orm!! We will try and join you next time.
Mike & Sandy
 
Jim have to say you know how to do a cruise! Me, Linda and Toffee would like to thank you for organising this day
around the North, enjoyed it a lot. Toffee did get a little sick on return due to the rolling around in the foot well.:nurse:
Did go into Chester on the Monday and it was well worth the visit. Total mileage when i got back was 705 miles.

Oh Moz.. i did it at 30mpg.:D
Billz.. driving steady............=))
Jim.. liked the shiny new valve caps. You really were running on gas. :nailbiting:
 
I was hoping to come to this, unfortunately my plans changed at the last minute. It looks like you all had a smashing day.
 
Who needs in car entertainment when you have a machine that sounds like that! Awesome and sounds beautiful.
