Hi guys. I must congratulate SinT for a brilliant job with the Scotland meet last year! :thumbsup  I thoroughly enjoyed every minute. It was my first visit on a bike,and definitely not my last! The Glencoe Pass is calling me!! :love10
I'll think you'll agree,there are a few 'ingredients' that make a successful meet..attendees(that's up to you) ,weather(fingers crossed), location and accommodation. I think Rhayader is suitable,good campsite,hotels,pubs and restaurants. Rideout on Saturday,I've sort of got a route planned which will take in some nice,scenic roads around the Brecon Beacons. Then head West. I propose a lunch stop at the Havod Hotel at Devils bridge. I can enquire about menu etc. I have already spoken to them. Ride up the coast,then head back towards the Elan Valley dams. Then maybe book tables at the Lamb and Flag in Rhayader for an evening dinner?
If anyone is coming a day early,maybe a visit to the South Wales Borderers museum in Brecon? Battle at Rorkes Drift fame. This is an initial plan at the moment OK,but it gives us a base to work on :icon_wink:

Looks like you've got everything in hand 3pot  :thumbsup. Sounds like it's going to be a good meet already (weather permitting). Could you please edit the first post to include links to the b+b, bunkhouse, camping sites. I take it were booking our own accommodation like we've always done. Only asking as some of the posts read as if your booking them for us.

The campsite is a short walk from the town,and has good facilities.

On the subject of green laning, my steamer has a 3 spoke conversion, so you go ahead and plan any green laning you want to do, & me and my mate will ride round and meet ya at the other end. Wouldn't wanna interfere with your off road fun.

Post by: threepot on February 18, 2015, 08:16:26 PM
Not planning any green laning,had enough picking my steamer up! :nap :icon_rolleyes:
On a more serious note,paid a visit to Rhayader today. Had lunch at the Lamb and Flag,steak and ale pie,and very nice it was too. Made some enquiries about the accommodation there,and took some pics. The bunkhouse is more like a hotel! They have a nice function room if we choose to eat there,depending on numbers obviously?
Price for bunkhouse..£24.50 EA per night,with breakfast. £20 without.

Count me in, if there is space in the bunkhouse I will have a bed in there, otherwise I'll bring my tent. i have not been back to Wales for over twenty years. Should be fun.

Great Geoff :thumbsup
Guys,can you take responsibility for booking accommodation please. Don't know if deposits are needed?
Hopefully,if enough show an interest,we'll have it to ourselves?  http://www.lambandflagcoachinginn.co.uk/
Another thing to consider..I plan a stop at Devils Bridge on the Saturday run. You can have a meal,or a light lunch? Take into consideration what you have for breakfast that morning. And what we plan to do for a meal in the evening? Open to suggestions OK.

Still love 'tigger' though :icon_wink:

You've got it there. The Tiger is my first triple and there is nothing like that sound. I wish Stanley was little quieter, though, because although I revel in the sound I'm sure that the general public are just thinking "w@nker" as I go by.

I will ride down on Friday , should arrive mid-dayish. Anyone from North-East want to meet up, let me know.
Do I have a bed in the bunkhouse reserved?
I could do with one as creeping in and out of my tent is difficult at the moment, I may improve next week when the stitches come out of my knee.

Still need the 3 bunks for fri & sat night.

Getting the ferry to Southampton to arrive there by 10am. So should be in South Wales for about midday, mid Wales about 2-3pm after we've taken the long route through the Brecons.

Gav,looks like your R3 friend is coming?? Would you like me to book the 3 bed bunkhouse for you?? It has a double,and single bed.

That makes 6. I'll check with them tomorrow.  The main bunkhouse may sleep 6?
We can decide on an evening meal on Saturday when we meet.

TP,

Any news on the bunkhouse? If needs be, my 2 mates will take the double/single combo and I'll go in the 5 berth.

I'm sorry but there's no way any of us would accept sharing the double!!

I've just txd my friend to check if he's coming? He's a bus driver,so its not easy for him to book time off.I think the 2 bunkhouses sleeps 8? but that includes the double bed!  If he comes,thats 7. I can then book the 2 rooms.

Hi everyone.
I wonder if you would mind if I tagged along.
I tried to go to the weekend in 2013, but circumstances prevailed against me.  This year is should be OK for me and as I live in Bristol, it's only a short ride to Wales.
I have just booked a room in the Lamb and Flag.  It seems incredibly cheap and I like my home comforts these days, so I will leave my tent behind.
I can easily arrive at midday on Friday.
Has anyone agreed a meeting place for those who can get there at midday?
Are we all eating together for the evenings and if you have already booked a large table, can you include me please.
Although I am pretty IT competent, I have only ever posted once before, so I hope this works!
BTW I have had a Girly for about 7 years

Great that your joining us Graham. I think a few will be there on Fri,so we'll arrange something for that day asswell. As for a rendezvous,I guess we'll sort something out nearer the date.

Hi all. I've just spoken to the lamb and flag,the main bunkhouse sleeps 6. So I think that should be enough for us? They are prepared to hold the smaller one below,but only for a few days! So I'll leave it until Wednesday. So anyone wanting to join after,will just have hope it's still available,or make other arrangements.
Would you like me to book their function room for an evening meal on the Fri,Sat,or both?

Also,who intends getting there by lunchtime on Fri? We could have a rideout in the afternoon if you like?

I would definitely be up for a ride on Friday afternoon and think it a good idea to book the function room.  It would be good to all eat together and maybe have the odd beer or two or three :icon_biggrin:

Back to the serious stuff.....Threepot, have you got a route sorted and did Matt get in touch about a bit off roading? also whats the score with the digs? do we need to get in touch and leave a deposit etc...
Also, who`s going from this end or via this end on the Friday ??

Hi Guys  :wave I had this sent through for some trails around Rhayader from a contact in the TRF & wondered if they would be of any use?
The .MMO file can be opened in GPS visualizer http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/ or the .KMZ file can be opened in Google earth.
I haven't scouted them myself as yet, but let me know what you think & if anyone would be willing to give them a go Friday afternoon or Sunday? :wheel

I have a friend who would like to join us, He rides a 2000 Tiger - a really nice, pleasant guy who doesn't talk bikes so much but prefers to just ride, he doesn't really have access to a PC so hence not joining the TT forum. He would be a camper so no accommodation arrangements needed, would there any objections?

I've only had 2 vests done for the ride-out. But more can be printed OK. They're £ 6,and the RED t-shirts are £9.50. They're nice quality,and a nice fit :thumbsup

I'll wait for a little while to get the final count on the t shirts OK. But I think they'll need at least a week's notice. I suppose 'pay on the day' will be ok.
I make 6 bunking? So I'll confirm this with the Lamb and Flag. Think they're still holding the spare room for us?
