Stephen, are you offering a venue there matey??
Personally, i reckon a lot of the bad rep on welsh police is down to the valley boys who don't see a problem with redlining their 6"exhausttip-12kHID-50%windscreentint-ed corsa through villages at 3am. I know a group of guys up there who are well into their modifying and they usually only get interested questions from the local fuzz. One reckons he's never been pulled full stop, not bad considering how heavily "adjusted" his car is lol.
Totally agree, I'll happily drive anywhere in the country for a meet, Sure there's some I won't make due to the financial aspect, but that'd depend on the timing, rather than the location

And having driven a fair amount in Wales, normally fairly, erm, quickly due to the EPIC roads there, I've never been pulled nor seen a police car that I can remember. As far as I can see, Wales is similar to the Lake District, the police tend to stick to the main trunk roads and the towns, it's not worth their time trying to catch a few people out who are enjoying the local back roads. And TBH the way we were driving in the lakes was generally well within the speed limit, the roads are too tight to speed often.
