Is hitting snowdonia from malvern feasible in a day trip ? I’d plan to overnight there. Roads in Wales will be on the slow side, and the train up and down the mountain would take a while

Now you need to start thinking about an Iron Butt 1000. 1000 miles in under 24 hours!

Here's the plan: I'm hitting Malvern on thursday evening. Friday morning i'm signed up for the factory tour which means I'll take delivery of my rental around 11 or so. I'll head to caffeine & machine to see my friend phil for lunch and then tour the surrounding Malvern country side for the rest of the afternoon. If body and soul coped with the afternoon ride then we'll ramp it up for Saturday. Weather permit we'll head out around 7:30AM and head west for Snowdonia. That's 13 hours of daylight hours to enjoy with the thing. Main roads should be mostly quiet at that time of day and by the time things get busy i'll be near snowdonia where I doubt there's a lot of people on secondary roads such as these: https://goo.gl/maps/BazDokQW6xyVA5Hc6I do intend to stop a lot in and around Snowdonia to fly my drone and capture some of that natural beauty on camera. The whole point is to live an adventure. Will I be exhausted after such a day? Yes most definitely. In the end i'm in my early 30's with a pathological need for adventure and unusual ideas. This will be right up my alley ! At this point i'm more afraid of the car dying on me than me turning chicken.

Just remember the M3W has the turning radius of an oil tanker.
The light at the end of the tunnel is actually a train. 2019 M3W

RHD can't register it here sadly that and its an early gen ... !
Almost a week away from the big adventure now guys... Weather seems to be a mix of good and bad (i'll get a full experience that way). I'm registering my drone to take with me on the trip - Should give some sick footage.
I'm scared/excited/ecstatic/stressed all at the same time !
