Oulton Park Trackday & Mini Welsh Drive - March 2014

[Gary71]

I'm probably the first home being almost local so here is the first photo of many from a little drive around North Wales this morning. The others visited Oulton Park yesterday for the RS trackday (whilst I was at work!) so there will be plenty to come.

Great to catch up with everyone for a beer and a properly good drive.

Freezing at the top of the Bwlch Y Groes pass:

What a trip! ….first time I've been to Oulton Park, impressive circuit…...followed by some of the best driving roads I've graced since Baden Baden…..best of all?...catching up with friends!

Lots of late model Pork on Friday although my favourite was Paul Howell's RSR…..driven with gusto! ….





…not all the race cars were left at the circuit…..



….very Russ….including the rear end! ….





…Jason going all MW with his 'signature' hand gesture...



…a truly beautiful part of the country on a perfect day….





….although paparazzi everywhere…

Spectacular scenery….

[Darren65]

If the cars were lined up correctly this'd be a perfect shot….just not very DDK! …..



……mmmm! ….looks like we were trying here! …



All in all a fantastic trip with great company…..big thanks to Russ for organising and suggesting the routes and to Gary for leading us around….

…here's to the next trip!



Cheers,

Only took one pic on my phone but it's not bad....



Good to see everyone again and blast away those cobwebs....

Absolutely knackered now though.

cracking couple of days ... always forget how far away Wales is though


A few photos form me ..

Weather was particularly shite ... glorious Sunshine in Yorkshire soon turned into thick fog over on the tops and into Cumbria. Met up with John & Peter at Mike Bainbridges
