R7 WOTY 2013 - Weekend Saturday 28th September

[carnaby35]

Linda and I are booked to go with R8 region but I haven't a clue where we are going.[]

Hi Chris - happy to help an old man out.

You are going to the The Seiont Manor Hotel, on the edge of the Snowdonia National Park, North Wales near Caernarfon.

Glad to see you are brining your carer - Linda - with you.


Regards - Randolph

 

[carnaby35]

Thanks for that Randolph.

Where did you say we were going again?

Chris

Just checked up John and hotels are 51 miles apart. Don't think I can be bothered wasting time and petrol and swerving round all the sheep going to see the R7 lot!

Anyway, our hotel looks a lot more posherer than yours.

Very best regards,

Chris

You can always join M and me for our dawn raid on the EVO triangle, that's if you can cope with the challenge of course......

See you at the start line at 6am on Sunday the 29th then

Couldn't bear being beaten by a young lady with a booster cushion. ))

Take a booster cushion Lisa then you can see over the steering wheel, it's a big help when driving fast. []

Believe me Chris....Lisa doesn't need a cushion to drive fast...I can vouch for that []

Well it turns out that another Region had their WOTY at the same hotel last weekend and had a great time. I have no idea which one though as there is no mention on the forum and I don't remember seeing it in Porshe Post, it certainly bodes well though.

 

[r6rob968]

Well thank you everyone for making such a great weekend so thoroughly enjoyable. Once again Doug came up with some great routes with stunning views. FFestiniog was particularly enjoyable with those sweeping bends, a real joy.

PC Chester did us a great turn with their wonderful hospitality and showing us around their restoration project, it doesn't get much bigger than this and was quite a sight with the parts laid out on the floow.

Sunday was taken up with the Evo Triangle, great fun and we happened to pick a great spot to watch everyone going round. Later on a troup of Ferraris went round, but soon disappeared. 599, 458, 355 and a Maser. And then who should come the other way but our very own Chris Chappell []

Great drive home too and more great roads. Ready for a sit down and cold beer now.

Rest stop at PC Chester for excellent hospitality and a good look at the 3.2 Carrera they are restoring, laid out flat on the flour. Here Doug eyes up useful parts.

Spot the red arrows, these are the points where you could still hear Doug's car [8D]

R8 had their WOTY the same weekend and we crossed paths several times waving to each other. Here we caught up on the Triangle and had a chat with Tom and Kerry.
