We set off early on Friday and used the motorways for 50-60 miles before heading through Mold, Denbigh, Llansannan, Llanfair TH, Llangernew, Llanwrst, Blaenau Ffestiniog, Dolgellau and Tal y Llyn. We stayed at Dolffanog Fach in the Caroll room and cannot recommend it enough. The place is just perfect, luxury all the way with fantastic hosts in Carl and Sara. Parking for the Caterham is also perfect and with the Caroll room you can keep an eye on your loved one.
Had a clear walk up Cadir Idris on Saturday before heading home on Sunday via Dolgellau, Porthmadog, Cricceth, Abersoch, Cricceth, Beddgelert, Betws y Coed, Llanwrst, Llangernew, Llansanan, Denbigh, Mold and then the motorways.
We had to use the roof for half the journey there and home and to be honest I found it fine. A little noisier than without or is it just a slightly different kind of noise. The wiper fuse kept blowing but it seems it may just be too small at 7.5A and it needs a 15A fuse.
As I learn more about the car, the clonks worry me less and less but the vibration / resonance does get a little bit annoying. It seems to be at it's worst at 3750 on my car, I suspect other cars are different. The easy remedy is to blitz through it, but the wife's not keen on that approach.
The car parked up at Dolffanog Fach. The finish sauna behind.
Parked up in Dolgellau. Three times we have stopped there for a look around and three times we have been disappointed. I think we are done with the place now.
Parked up outside the Gelert shop in Beddgelert.
Heading up Cadir Idris
About 1/3 of the way up.
Heading back down.

Wifey taking snaps on route. An intelligent go pro if you like.
Roof on but no wipers.
