Doug concocted a variation of the route
for the
2006 trip to Tywyn which included going down the beautiful valley past
the Tal-y-Llyn lake. What with the forecast of rain, the Shrewsbury
vintage show and several cars or people being indisposed, it
was
pleasing that six cars, eleven people and one dog gathered at
Mile End. Russ, and Avril set off early in the Jago claiming to need a
head start, the rest all kept together to the coffee stop at Mallwyd.
It was later noted that Russ's dog moved on bends to help
balance
the car like a sidecar rider - which could explain why the Jago corners
better that some might expect.
At the stop we unexpectedly met up with four se7ens and Graham Compton
in his Gemini who were an impromptu gathering from the
Westfield
club. We all proceeded to Tywyn in typical ShACC ragged formation and
got a fix of looking at the sea whilst having lunch on the prom. It was
a free vote for the return route but the majority stopped off for Honey
icecream before going their chosen way. We got back with the sun
shining over Shropshire and there hadn't been one drop of rain - you
should have faith.
