2012 Trip

(RIP) Andy007 · Aug 1, 2011

Hello
I'm looking to organise our clubs summer trip 2012 and we were thinking of visiting Wales for a long weekend.
The general outline is we intend to get the Dublin / Holyhead ferry on a Friday morning then ride to a hotel for 3 nights and ride out each day.
Suggestions on location , hotel's and routes would be a great help.

Cheers :beerjug:

How many people?

I could suggest a few pubs with bunkhouses & camping but they wouldn't be any good if there is more than 20-30 of you.

A good base would be Rhayadar in the heart of Wales, heres the center -- http://www.powys.gov.uk/index.php?id=2411&L=0
Lots and lots of B&B's, you should get in one or two B&B together and theres a good curry house too

Reallly good camping 5 mins from all the pubs by a river!
Wyeside Camping
Rhayader
LD65LB
01597 810 183

From here you can get to anywhere in Wales, will not go wrong as EVERY road from here WILL be superb. If you PM me I will give you some mapsource routes or you coud just look up 'my posts' and pick through em, which will save me 10 mins :augie

Enjoy the research, you lazy fecker :aidan

OH and welcome to :dragon

Right. This place between Crickhowell & Talgarth is sometimes used by Welsh UKGSers for a bit of male bonding. It has B&B, bunkhouse & camping.

I've used this place with a national club. It's in Talybont on Usk. There are B&B and camping in the village too.

This place has been used for UKGSer weekends

A decent hotel with spa facilities http://www.metropole.co.uk/

A hotel just across the border in Hereofrd http://greendragon-hereford.co.uk/
(don't ignore the Welsh Marches area, some fab roads and usually quieter than the touristy parts of Wales)

Should keep you busy with your research.
