rennie Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 Tonfanau is a 1 mile circuit, right on the coast. 4 times a year, on the Sunday before bank holiday mondays, they hold club racing organised by the Crewe and Nantwich combine. Normally they have 8 races repeated 4 times, so that's 32 races. Last year the admission price was £5.The circuit is between Towyn and Fairbourne (i will edit this later when i've looked at the map with road nos)It's worth a punt just for the ride there and back, the roads are fantastic.

Guest nigelf Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 that name rings a bell, Towyn, I swam in the sea there one January many years ago B... cold. Yes the roads are nice over there. Nigel Quote
rennie Posted February 16, 2007 Author Posted February 16, 2007 Well done Gary, Nigel, you need to be careful, there are 2 Towyns (should be spelt Tywyn) one is near Rhyl/Colwyn bay one is near Abberdyfi /Aberdovey. This is the Aberdovey one. I will put directions on soon. Quote
rennie Posted February 16, 2007 Author Posted February 16, 2007 OK it's off the A493 going south from Dollgellau on the opposite side of the estuary from Barmouth.You follow the coast with just stone walls between you and the sea past Fairbourne then, almost as soon as you start to go inland, it's sign posted. If you get to a place called Bryn-y-Crug you've gone too far. Quote
rennie Posted February 28, 2007 Author Posted February 28, 2007 I am hoping to go on Easter Sunday, Apr8th. Anybody wants to meet up let me know. I will have my mobile with me but they don't work very well there. Usually practice starts at 0900, racing starts at 1200. I plan to get there about 1100. It takes me appx. an hour and a half from Telford allowing for traffic and one smoke break Quote
