if i were you i'd take a left going through llandegla, and head toward llangollen, over the horse shoe pass. great road and a great views. also theres a cafe on the road called the pondarosa cafe, nice place.

also for fuel going west on the a55 from chester, there's a shell just after junction 33b (only going west)
also theres one in holywell, junction 32 (not 32a!) just take the sliproad, follow the road to the shell, then to get back to the a55 just get back onto the same road for about 5 miles and you'll rejoin the a55 at junction 31.

Great work Dave, I suspect Ken and I will take great pleasure in using your route mate

Are there any decent sized supermarkets near the track? We'll probably need to a supply run once we get nearby

[Joesefer]

when your on the A55 across anglesey i probably would make sure you keep to the limits weekend morning they like to hide (last 2 times i have been to the track early on a Sat/sunday morning 7-9ish i have seen the police pulled people over..

Hi *****

Off A 55 Jun 10 to Bangor take 3rd Exit and you have a Large Tesco on your right Drive Further up that road and you have a Morrison up to the left past the station or turn right at the station you have an Asda Lidle M&S Food and Aldies

Off A 55 Jun 6 go into Llangefni and you have an Asda - Lidle - Aldies - Iceland and best of ALL A Farm Butcher open to the Public on the Industrial Eatate called Llechwedd Meats for all your BBQ items locally killed and supplied

Off A55 Jun 2 Holyhead you Have a Large Morrisons - Tesco -Asda - Lidle - Aldies all pretty close together

The 2 Anglesey ones are about 8 - 10 miles from the track . Rhosniger itself has a couple of small convenience supermarkets i think and is about 4 miles from the track

Cheers mate, need to stock up on Absinthe for the festivities
