Introduction.
Join in with this second exciting Pumapeople meet to the location of many EVO magazine road tests over the years, the famous 'EVO Triangle'.
Made up of many exciting, twisting moorland roads, the triangle is formed from of sections of the A5, A543, and B4501. This meet will include the Triangle, as well as many of the surrounding roads in this dramatic part of the North Wales countryside. 
The route we will take will not only include some great driving roads, but also the many excellent photographic locations which EVO have made good use of in previous issues. I'll go through the arrangements of the meet day-by-day with with guidence over where and when we will be meeting, and what we are planning to get up to.
Friday September 13th.

Saturday September 13th.
The main part of the meet will take place during Saturday.
We will be all meeting at 09.30am in Betws-y-coed Station Car Park. The Station has a car park with 42 spaces and an open area for coach parking.
After meeting up, we will split into smaller groups of 3 or 4 Pumas (depending on numbers attending) and then go and enjoy the great roads and superb locations for photo's etc.
By seperating into smaller groups it will allow us to experiance the roads both safely and at an appropriate speed, and also cause minimum disruption to other road users, etc.I will not be providing route maps on the day for this event, but I will be posting details of recomended roads (including map links, road names, nearby towns, etc.) in the area for you to enjoy in the run up to the meet. Please print off these details from this thread and bring them with you to the meet. I will bring some spare copies of these and give them to the sub-group 'leaders' should anyone have forgotten their own.
After our morning drive, we will then regroup at approximately 2pm for lunch, before mixing groups, and heading off to continue to enjoy the great driving roads!!
At approximatly 4pm the driving part of the meet will end, and we will gather back at the meet start point at Betws-y-Coed.
Those staying overnight will return back to Ty Mawr Holiday Park, where we will enjoy a fun Saturday evening!!
Sunday, September 14th.
Sunday will be focusing on visiting some of the spectactular sites and landscapes we saw the previous day, and finding some superb photo locations to snap our Kat's in!!
The driving pace of the Sunday will be therefore much more relaxed to reflect this.
Monday, September 15th.
All those attending the Weekend event will then return home on the Sunday evening, or stay an addition night, and leave on the Sunday.
*** North Wales Police are very active in this area and make use of marked and unmarked Patrol Cars / Bikes, Safety Camera Vans, and Helicopters to monitor speeding motorists. Please drive responsibly during this event and respect other road users. ***
