I’ve found a new venue for our July 4 meet: the Craig-y-Dderwen Riverside Hotel, at Betws-y-Coed.
I’ve called ahead, and Michelle expects us around 7-7.30pm. However, blink as you drive into Betws-y-Coed and you'll pass it by.
As you cross the historic Waterloo Bridge - and before you reach the petrol station - The Riverside Hotel is on your left.
Go down the drive for 100 yards or so to reach the car park and then walk to the entrance. There are a couple of low ‘sleeping policemen’ but Michelle assures me they’ve had Porsches and Lamborghinis there without issue (I explained our 7s are quicker!).
The postcode is LL24 0AS and telephone 01690 710293. It might be wise to call ahead if you wish to eat.
I hope to see you there, but I cannot promise.
