WHAM North Wales Weekend

September 24, 2021 @ 11:30 am - September 26, 2021 @ 5:00 pm

Three days of mountain bliss in Snowdonia taking in the best roads in North Wales.

The Itinerary includes full days of riding on the Saturday & Sunday and a half day transit on the Friday afternoon avoiding the busy A roads. Most of us are staying at the Glen Aber Hotel in Betws-y-Coed, however some others are joining us for the rides and staying elsewhere.

Organising a common venue for evening meals has proved impossible due to the numbers and limited availability for large parties in the town. Recommended venues are the Glen Aber or Y Stablau next to the Royal Hotel. There are plenty of other options Betws-y-Coed.

The itinerary below is all optional, WHAM Members who are not staying overnight are welcome to join us at any of the start points during the weekend.

All riders are reminded to check the weather forecast before each ride. If the temperature falls below 3 degrees please remember that the road temperature can be lower and there will be a risk of black ice. In addition heavy flooding and high winds add considerable risks to motorcyclists. WHAM will not normally cancel rides due to weather conditions so it is up to each rider to make their own decision whether it is safe to ride or not.
