Wales run - (4) 27th MAY 2006

Post by Rhonsmr2 »

The route is the same as before and weather permitting a bbq will be on the go.

A few links to overnight stays are listed at the end.

All being well we'll meet up at the Acton Arms in Moreville, Nr Bridgenorth, WV16 4RJ at about 12.00. Gives us time to have something to eat before the rest of the run ( or for those who just want to meet and not go on to Wales )

Following that (approx 1.30), the route will be out of the pub, turn right and then left onto the B4368. Should be signposted Craven Arms. Road continues through Aston Ayre, Munslow (Crown Hotel) and out through Diddlebury before reaching Craven Arms. (approx 18 miles)

At the main junction (Harry Tuffins opposite) turn right onto the A49 signposted Shrewsbury for approx 1.3 miles) until you come to a left hand junction A489 signposted Newtown. Follow this road for approx 8.5 miles.

When you get to the junction at the village of Lydham - turn right onto the A488 for approx .5 miles down the hill and take the road to the left Signposted Churchstoke on the A489. (4.2 miles)

When you reach Churchstoke (HUGE Harry Tuffins on the left) Ideal for loo break if anyone wants one..lol.

Follow the A489 through Sarn and Kerry down the steep hill into Newtown (approx 11 miles). At the bottom of the hill you will come to an island with MacDonalds opposite. If anyone is joining in here, we'll be parked at the back on the main car park around about 2.30. From there we'll return to the main run onto the A483 signposted Llandrindod Wells.

At traffic signals follow the road straight over (A489 signposted Machynlleth) at the junction with Mochdre go straight over onto the A470 signposted Llangurig - go over the level crossing (watch out for the mobile speed camera thats parked on the left hand side just as you get onto the long straight!) and into the next village - Landinam (approx 4.5 miles) . Continue on the A470 for approx 12 miles
At the roundabout, take the 2nd exit onto the A44 signposted Aberystwyth.

This is Llangurig village - large Church on Left. Follow A44 for approx 8 miles to Eisteddfa Gurig carry on that road any you'll pass the Dyffryn Castell Hotel on your right in approx 2.5 miles. Still on the A44 you'll reach Ponderwdy with the silver-lead mine on the right and the forest visitor centre. Continue through Goginan (The Druid Inn is on your left) still heading for Aberystwyth. Through Capel Bangor ( watch out for the speed trap at the garage advertising MacDonalds Aber - not always parked there - but sods law lol)

At the mini roundabout, go straight over NOT Bow Street. You will go through Llanbadarn Fawr. At the traffic lights take a left turn over the railway crossings to the main roundabout. Safeway is in front. Take the second exit heading for the shopping centre. Best place to park is on the Focus/ Curry's carpark (ETA 4.00pm)
