Hi Folks
I am towing liverpool-Barmouth on Fri morning and wondered if anyone lives on or has passed through any of my route possibilities.We regularly do this run and know all the routes really well but would like to check on road conditions on the various routes.
My usual route is from the A55 on the A494 through Ruthin.Next option is the A550 through Penymynydd joining the A5104.Third option is Wrexham then A5 through Langollen all of these joining together around Corwen then through Bala and Dolgellau.Any weather info or updates really appreciated.Thanks

I live in Barmouth, and it's clear here. (not had any snow at all).

That's as much as I can tell you I am afraid. Don't know anyone who has travelled towards Wrexham in the last few days.

That said, the buses between Wrexham and Barmouth have been running on time. They take the Barmouth - Dolgellau - Bala - Corwen - Llangollen - Wrexham route.

Oh, and it was snowing fairly heavy in Wrexham today when I passed through on the train. Though from my quick glimpse, there didn't seem to be much settling.

Not that helpful I know. But every little helps as Tesco says.

 

ETA: Just noticed where this is posted. I better get back to the tents section. Hopefully they will forgive me for visiting "the dark side". 17

Ive been watching the Barmouth harbour webcams and saw you werent getting much but the advice on Wrexham is good as that may cancel out that route as i have heard langollen is bad too.
Thank You

Wrexham has had bad snow. I called the site we are going to today and they have had none either. The woman said she had travelled home today from Manchester and the only bad bit was around Wrexham.

All Trunk roads are passable, closures remain on some minor roads" - from the Traffic Wales website.   

Might be worth checking again before you leave!
