Wales

Hello, I’m Philip Brown, the area organiser for Wales. I have been a club member for many years. I currently own a Mercedes E200 Convertible, Edition 125, which I am bringing it back to a good standard slowly.

I moved to Wales four years ago with my husband Quentin when we downsized.
Wales is packed with spectacular driving roads that wind through mountains, along rugged coastlines, and across wide open moorland. In the north, routes like the Llanberis Pass in Eryri National Park (Snowdonia) carve through dramatic glacial valleys beneath towering peaks, while the Horseshoe Pass offers sweeping views over the Dee Valley.

Mid-Wales is quieter and wilder, with the remote Abergwesyn Pass (photo above) and its steep “Devil’s Staircase” cutting through the Cambrian Mountains, and the scenic dams and reservoirs of the Elan Valley providing a gentler but equally beautiful drive.

Further south, the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (Brecon Beacons) is famous for its twisting hairpins and vast upland views, while coastal routes along Cardigan Bay and the Pembrokeshire coast combine sea cliffs, sandy beaches, and historic towns.

Currently, due to health issues I only hold occasional pub meetings. If you have any ideas for meetings in your area, let me know and I will assist in anyway I can.

I always welcome visiting club members to our spectacular region with some of the best driving roads in the country.
