Spring Meet - Elan Valley

We have a Spring Meet each year in the UK
Last weekend we went to the dams & valleys of mid Wales
Here's the carnage

The overnight venue and start point




It was a bit wet when we got up but nice and sunny




We had 31 cars so we split in to 3 groups, here they are waiting to set off




Quick photo stop near where Barns Wallis developed the bouncing bomb




Winding our way through the valleys & lakes



More photos!




And a bit of a video to top it off - roll on next year

Wow, that's a pretty good sized group. It'd be hard to replicate that here in the states. BTW, I just heard today that Big Country is going on tour soon. Wondered what happens to them.

Thanks Mikey for sharing...sheeps gone wild in that vid for sure!!! Nice work, Maybe when a few of us are there in London for the Aston Celebration this summer we could head out for some country side touring and fun driving with some of you guys.

Oh your pics are not coming out, you may like to repost those.

A group of us do this every season, I sort the spring one.
This was the largest to date.
Glad you liked Big Country

Couldn't entice any Vanquish2 (there was a Vanquish1) or 1-77's owners out of their garages
We banned Cygnets

I think I'm on a weeks road trip round the Scottish Highlands when the AM Centenary stuff is on. Not to interested in static or short drive car events so decided to celebrate with a proper road trip
