North Wales weekend

[DaveGSCymro]

I unfortunately have to change plans, I will definitely be there on the Friday night but will probably have to skip the Saturday night.

Robin my apologies but I'm going to have to drop out of Saturday nights festivities as I've been told I'm attending a Birthday party in Mid-Wales.

I'll still be there for the Friday night though.

Don't even think about getting any funny ideas of why we have both changed plans.

PW and myself are planning to leave Cardiff on Friday morning for the campsite. A nice ride up then pitch tents and going for another rideout. Anyone else joining us then? I reckon leaving after the rushhour, 0900 ish

I think I'm ok for Saturday until about 2pm as I'm meeting the boss in Llangurig which is only 30 miles from the camp site.

Are we having a BBQ? Come on Robin I know you're taking it easy at the moment

Need to know Robin, so we get get the doings on the way up, BigAl is looking dodgy for the weekend but will be up if he can.
I am sure there are people who want to go but are worried about the weather or at least I hope there are people sitting on the fence, the more the
I have PM'd Gipsy, no reply yet anyone heard from Andy Higgins latley.
Packed and ready to go, beer in fridge, Snorkers and bacon in freezer and ear plugs at the stand by. Its going to be good, well I will enjoy myself at the very least

Sorry for delay - large project appeared at last minute ...
Called in last weekend and confirmed booking. BBQ is booked as well.
I'll be down about 4 but have to go to Chester AM to sort out some stuff, so will not be on my way until about 2.
Map attached. Basically
From North
A470 > Dolgellau > over the top > into Dinas M > look for small hotel on left, mill on right. Camping is on left after hotel
From South
A470
If coming from Llangurig to Llanidloes there was convoy working last weekend
Via Staylittle is fun, or main road to Caersws > Carno > Cemmaes Rd > Mallwyd
Mallwyd > down hill > 40mph sign > Mill on left > campsite on right

You've not got the hang of crossing fords yet, have you!

Its now definate that we won't be able to make this. Sorry Trang.

Its the wifes birthday and we're booked into a cottage in Aberaeron. And given I've had an invite to the local rugby club to watch South Africa v Lions I don't think I'd be safe to drive.

I have the pictures to prove otherwise We could always do one on the Saturday morning

So how many for a BBQ then, and do we need just charcoal or one of the disposable jobbies. I will pm Robin/Dave my mobby number just incase you have any probs or need to know if we need goodies for the BBQ.

Allan I will PM you my number, I'm not leaving Rhyl till 3.00 so if you need anything I can fetch it down, as long as it's not half a cow

 

[Allan Davies]

PW and I will recce the BBQ pit and get all the gear on our little spin to Snowdownia, just need numbers???
Me, PW, DaveGS, ???? any more!!! Bring your own beer and the like. Robin will be eating grass again I presume. If we go to the Pub too early it will go horribly wrong me thinks. What all the fresh air an all
