In answer to mat-tiger1 last question..plan is ..... ride to Wales,drink plenty of nice beer,eat plenty of nice food,ride around Wales a bit,more beer and food,then ride home!

Any of you guys coming down earlier than the 3rd? If so,we could visit

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.

Sounds like a plan already Threepot! 

Best include some real ales for the Camera lads eh?

You mentioned Beer twice in the same sentence, I reckon that constitutes an official endorsement

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!!

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

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   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

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

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.

[JayDub]

I'm a camper! can't see me wanting a bunkhouse 
Plan? that's a new concept

That's very kind of you, thanks.

I'm gonna camp hopefully.

[Nick Calne]

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

I think you may need to speak a little louder 

[Geof9116]

[threepot]
