Topic : Travel to Pwllheli

What is considered to be the best route from Birmingham early Saturday?  Looking at the map all the various options look as bad as each other!

JC - there is consensus on 95% of the route. The 'rogue part' is the A5 from aprox 'Knockin'to Bala.

You can either stay on the A5 and trundle along via Llangollen to Bala, - its longer & slower and will keep you comfortably numb.

- or if you can't stand staring at the back of a caravan for any longer, you can come off the A5 at Knockin, hit the B roads and head West, direct to Bala over the mountains. This is quicker but takes a lot of concentration & a good navigator. Either way, Pwllheli is still at least an hour from Bala

Try via michelin, it gives a good route. Stick to trundling in Wales they are pretty hot on speed. I had a warning letter for 32 in a 30 zone. Slightly higher and I would have probably got a ticket; most other people on the campsite did!

For more detailed directions and advice for travel to Pwllheli please click on "National Championships at Pwllheli" above and go the the "Event build up" page.  Click on "Additional info."

PLEASE DO NOT TAKE YOUR BOAT TO THE CLUB UNTIL SATURDAY MORNING - The Cadet Worlds finish today and there is a big bash in the marquee this evening. The Club will be very busy and won't be able to store your Merlin overnight.

See you at Pwllheli.
