I'm in,provided it's on one of the first three weekends

[Bixxer Bob]

I'm guessing we're talking first three weekends IN JULY?

I'm guessing we're talking first three weekends IN JULY?

I was wondering that and getting nervous that we were going in January....

First three weekends are free in July for me too.

[John Stenhouse]

Yes July, I'm ok earlier if we fancy June, but after the 25th I'm in Poland

[JayDub]

I'm up for this... July is good  , I was near Dragons back recently is that the one at the rear of the Castle inn pub on the A479?- it was on my list of cheap sites but went for Pyscodlyn farm site instead coz I was going too fast and missed it...  that was OK too, basic but maybe too family friendly for a large number of noisy, sweaty bikers (but just 6 quid a night )

[HonaTigger]

The Dragons Back looks good  :thumbs up

 Have a look at this campsite too http://www.blossompark.co.uk

Another forum I am a member of, they have camped there over the last 2 years.  Think the golf course does a great breakfast too.

Rhayader would be a good base? Some nice riding roads,Elan valley dams. There is a good campsite a short walk out of the town..www.wyesidecampsite.co.uk   A few pubs,hotels.
Or base it further north,Snowdonia?  I stopped in Llangollen on the way back from Scotland,I thought that might be a good place? What about rideouts? Have one on Fri and Sat,or just Sat?

[Nick Calne]

I was hoping we'd find a base in a fairly central location then do a ride North, South or / and central as the mood or weather permitted. So Rhayader could be useful and it is a beautiful spot.  The advantage of Wales is it easier to get to for most folks compared with Fort Augustus, so perhaps more rideouts?

No probs, not to far away from Rhyader is the devils staircase, risen this once  it's about a 1:4 incline

Hope this link works
