Title: Help from Welsh members.
Post by: Amigo on 13 February 2012, 20:41:06

Tomorrow i've got to deliver 27 tonnes of haz fertilizer to....

       Hirwaen,
         Rhoshirwaun,
           Pwlleli,
             Gwynedd.
               LL53 8HN.

  I know how to get to Pwllheli but not a clue what to do when i get there. Best i can get from my google map is a post office in a nearby village. I don't use satnav. If no ideas i've got a phone no. so can call when nearby but if any of you know where they are post a map or directions please, it's all greek to me except Hedlu & Araf!!!!! :D

go out of pwllieli on the A497 Yr ala
at roundabout take the 1st exit A499
turn right onto the B4413
keep on B4413 aberdaron road until you reach that postcode it is 32 mins from pwllieli

that is the best i can do mate  :-\

From Pwllheli:
A499 (signed 'Abersoch') as far as Llanbedrog.
Right turn on to the B4413 (probably signed 'Aberdaron')

As you're driving an artic, I guess it'd be wise to stop after joining the B4413, and give the consignee a ring to confirm directions/see if he could meet you Guy.

HTH mate ;)

Probably double that in an artic, not the best of roads

Thanks all. I'm usually happy pottering around Wales & know most of it fairly well. In & out of Wrexham ind. est. regularly. I've got maps for Cardiff & the valleys & a few local towns but not ...here! The B4413 looks favourite, that was as close as i could get. Doubt i'll do that in 4.5 hours...close so probably out tomorrow night depending on the reload. They like sending us to Stowmarket from anywhere in the country!!!

  Andy, i've got an irrational issue with satnavs. I can't justify it suffice to say they're high up on "MY" Gay list, i just can't stand the things. I see local folk in £200 Escorts with a £400 screen stuck in the window all lit up going to the co op!! Pillocks. Plus the HGV upgrade to show low bridges, weight & width restrictions is'nt cheap. I had a very vague delivery address in Leicester a while back. A mate's satnav directed me down two un named roads. Glad i ignored it & phoned the customer. Turned out to be south of Hinckley! In an artic you can get into trouble when directed through a housing estate. Not like in a car or van when you turn round anywhere & try again.
     Sorry mate, i'll never buy one. They have thier advantages & are a clever idea but i'm a luddite & fear change. I'm nearly 2 years overdue a free phone upgrade but don't want a blackberry or touchscreen phone. I don't like them either!!!! ::) ::) :y :y

I know 40' of car & caravan isn't quite the same as 40-odd tonnes of HGV but I use my TomTom when towing when you can't just do a quick U turn. You just have to use them as a guide & not blindly follow 'her' directions. :y :y :y

when you get a signature for the goods in the office, make sure he really is a Jones.

oddly enough,  i spent much of my childhood, and a bit of nearly every year since , in the next village up,  Llangwnnadl.   and indeed, still have family there.



there's some brutal 90 degree turns on not much more than single track road,  getting down to there,    some of which an artic will simply not go round.... 

not to mention the little hump back bridges......   

so careful route choice is fairly important..... 


i'll put me thinking cap on

Title: Re: Help from Welsh members.
Post by: MaxV6 on 14 February 2012, 12:23:29

the most direct route, 


A499> Llanbedrog, then B4413 to Rhosirwaun ,

has 2 tight 90 degree corners that might prove challenging....  ,

one in a village (Sarn Meyllteyrn) , and one  in the middle of nowhere,  out in a wooded rural area,  that you can't really see on google earth as it's covered in trees....
 
52.854275,-4.546398

is the grid ref, 


check it out on street view....  it's a nasty tight little bugger.

and forgot to add, satnav devices alone are better, bigger than mobile phone satnavs..
