Lot of stuff there from Rorkes Drift,well worth a visit. We could take it in on the Saturday,but it means less riding that day.

You mentioned Beer twice in the same sentence, I reckon that constitutes an official endorsement  :thumbsup
I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint

I would LOVE to track down a pint of Felifoel's Double Dragon, tried some in the late 80's when the Navy sent us up to Talybont to beast us around the Brecons. Need to see if it is as nice as I remember!!  :occasion14

[/quote I camped there last year,and drank in most of the pubs :friday I cant remember Felinfoel,but the beer was decent. If only I could get a barrel in my topbox....... :bad

I still need to know who's staying where. Anyone interested in the bunkhouse? I could make enquiries about booking it? I have been given the owners details by her friend whoI know .

Gavd..I'll bring you some cans :thumbsup  Did you know, that beer was the first to be canned in the UK.

Go easy on Ivor, he`s just completed a dry January so has some catching up to do :bad

As for riding I`ll check in with Threepot, but as we`re centrally based its either the Brecons or cut across country doing the Dams to Aberystwyth then find some nice tarmac.... easy enough in Wales :nod

Guys, can I suggest that you open a separate "general chat" thread for the meet and keep this one for just the facts and serious discussion about routes accommodation etc.  It's hardly encouraging to anyone thinking of joining us for the first time to have to pick through pages and pages of chat just to try to determine the plan - assuming there is one.

I'll camp too. Unless the weather looks iffy, in which case I'll probably book a room in the nearest 5star hotel.*
