Forests and Hills Scenic Drive and Lunch - A nice SORNter around the Hills

This is planned as a proper driving day, the clocks will have changed, most of the SORN’d cars should be out and about, the weather should be brighter. Time for a good drive to get everything running smoothly!!!!
Am being a bit bold here and changing the meeting place to The Old Stores near Mold (CH7 4HR). This is the new Bike and Car Café, we have been to Rhug several times and thought it was worth trying somewhere new. They have just upgraded their car park and are confident they can accommodate us at 10am. The reviews are excellent and it fits well with the drive we have planned, also will give those to the East and North a bit of a lay in!!!!
After that a 1.75 hour drive through the forest to the open Eryri roads to take us to the Oakeley Arms at Maentwrog for a carvery lunch. There will be a toilet stop on the way.
I canvassed several eateries in the area and the Oakeley have been so responsive and are keen to have us. We will have reserved parking and seating. There is no need to pre-order or pay a deposit. Yippee!!!
The 1 course carvery is £16.95 and the 2 course £20.95ph. That seems par for the course (pardon the pun!)
We hope you can come along, we will have a guest car with us from the SE Region as well.
