Ponsonby Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Never been around the triangle but will head up there tomorrow so my son can get some good 'action shots'. Anyone know the best place to park up for the best shots (plus video) or best to just meander around with several stops? Will head down to the Moreton afterwards to have a look at some fine looking Z's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glrnet Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 PM Chris S or Andyvvc, and it depends if you're going clock or anticlockwise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponsonby Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 PM Chris S or Andyvvc, and it depends if you're going clock or anticlockwise Watched a few youtube clips of the triangle last night with my son. There were some drivers going clockwise and anticlockwise at the same time - in a spin! Saw one of a Civic Type R - how the heck he held it on the road I don't know. Just luck I think.

brillomaster Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 yeah take it easy up there! would probably say anti clockwise is easier - that way you'd do the twisty B4501 section going uphill, and the faster more open A543 section going downhill. but if you have time drive it both ways! I've driven it clockwise, and had a bit of a moment locking the front brakes coming downhill through the forest into a tight left if I recall 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will have my 13 year old with me so will be taking it very easy. Nothing like kids to quell the testosterone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisS Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 East side anti clockwise. West side clockwise. But the best is, east side anti up to cattle grid turn round and go back to the A5. Then turn right on the A5 to Pentrefoelas. From Pentrefoelas, clockwise to the Sportsmans, turn round and back to the A5. Best sequence of bends is west side just after the Alwen res. going clockwise. (steal a foot of the other side of the road and turn late ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomS Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I'm off to Beamaris at the start of July and thought I'd take a slightly longer route there, could anyone with North Wales road experience tweak this map if there's a more enjoyable way there? https://goo.gl/maps/ojeYi Needs to be around 3 hours as I'll have the missus with me and I doubt she'll enjoy 30 mins on Welsh roads in my car let alone 3 hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
