Pondreosa is probably the best(roads, scenery etc)and its where bikers congregate every weekend.Dragons Rest would be the easiest to find as you come straight off the motorway on to the A55 and the cafe is right alongside A55.Neither are more than an hour from Swallow Falls where everyone is meeting up.
Might be good for a rideout somewhere else in North Wales that day ..... let's face it, everywhere else in the area will probably be entirely cop-free and fully available for unhindered fun.

It was a light-hearted comment Mart - an observation that all of the constabulary will have their focus on that event - leaving the rest of the area unpoliced.
That said, I think this 'event' has much opportunity to backfire on us - I'm not sure it's the best way to go about things. All we need are a couple of idiots speeding, wheelying or over the limit from the night before and the police will nick them, portray them as representative of the protesters and the press will do the rest.
.... and in a group as big as predicted, there are bound to be a few idiots ....
I just hope this doesn't happen.

I know that, mate. As was my response - sort of.D-Rider wrote:It was a light-hearted comment Mart -
But I genuinely feel that the spirit of protest in this country has ebbed away in recent decades. And this has allowed successive governments to chip away at our civil liberties. We've allowed ourselves to become a nation of self-centered, forelock-tugging, complacent serfs, with plenty of gripes against whatever is dished out to us, but without the stomach for a real fight against those doing the dishing-out. And none of the main parties are offering much in the way of viable alternatives
