Title: road trip 12th oct to bala north wales
Post by mexman on Sep 8^th, 2008, 12:21am

hiya guys its me again with another invitation!!

well people who fancies a trip?? a few people from the south wales area are having a drive around wales and one of the stops will be at balla lake on the 12th october... so ive come up with the idea of maybe a few of us taking a drive out that way to meet up with them, and what a place to have pics taken!

bala lake from the nearest motorway junction to me in liverpool is junction 6 on the M62 and the distance from there is 68 miles and should take 1 hour 40 mins... i'll arrange meeting locations when i know where everyone is coming from...

if you fancy it then put your name and location down here please

many thanks
paul.... mexman
