Dear Abro, watch it round there, them welsh are ignorant F**kers

Scenery is georgeous, roads suprisingly can be quite busy but mostly due to visitors and in the evening it's like american werewolf in the pubs, you walk in the locals are talking english, they realise your a stranger as you walk in, they stop talking, then go onto welsh.

Be especially carefull as we will probably woop there pants rugby team this weekend too.

And before you ask I did stay exactly in betws-y-coed

Stay away from the north coast but everything up to there from Machynlleth - Dollgellau - Newtown is very good and easily reachable.

Take a run over to Llanberis which takes you past Snowdon.
Ponderosa cafe at Horseshoe Pass is on the A542 from Llangollen to Llandegla.

Depends on what you like but Lake Vyrnwy is worth a look if you like seclusion and single track (Tarmac), also LLyn Clywedgog is stunning.

View the routes for these on:
www.gwent-advanced-motorists.org
Click on the BIKE, GALLERY, 2005, LAkE Vyrnwy

I love the route from Ffestiniog to Bala Lake past the white water rafting centre which is the B4391 onto the A4212.

Watch out for Mr Brunstoms fundraising activities and don't worry about the language culture if you can gargle yourself then you are half way to speaking Welsh already.

Load a crap griffin? you either have never been there or are from the same gene pool.

Even amongst the welsh the north is known as a up themselves place.

Out of order which part? the fact they went into welsh and insulted the tourists or the fact they were caught out by a local boy.

Please explain what point of my real life experience was out of order ya daft pillock.

you must be welsh and from the north, might explain a great deal..stick to sheep:tosser:

I also must disagree with that sentiment, I stayed in Llangollen last weekend myself. While I loved the roads, I found the locals quite standoffish.

I've worked there a lot - the locals are a bit stand-offish until they get to know you and then they are like anywhere else. Mind you, if you get a really anti-English wanker you have your work cut out!

As for Wrexham............. :neenaw:
