Introduction.
Join in with this first 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 some 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 June 6th.
Those wishing to stay over the weekend will meet at the Ty Mawr Holiday Park during Friday afternoon / evening.

Saturday June 7th.
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.
I would advise those meeting at this point to please be aware that due to tourist traffic on the day, it might prove not be possible to all gather at this location. Should this be the case I would ask you to contact me via my mobile (number is shown at the start of this thread) and we will arrange another nearby meeting point.
After meeting up, we will split into smaller groups of 3 or 4 Pumas 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 at The Sportsman's Arms to have lunch.
