As most of you know, we have regular trail riding weekends in North Wales, using a super bunkhouse just outside Dolgellau.

Received a call from them, asking about my bulk booking for the 19th June. I haven't made one. They are clear that the booking was made in my name, by someone claiming to have stayed as part of my group in the past.

Not sure whether this is some sort of joke, or was malicious, but the losers, had they not contacted me, would have been the lovely biker friendly family who always make us welcome at their bunkhouse. They could very easily have turned away real customers (2 bunkhouse rooms - 10 beds, and 30 camping pitches were booked :eek) on that weekend and that's just bang out of order.

Spoke in depth with the owner yesterday - this is not her getting confused - the person she spoke to had definitely said that they'd stayed as part of our group previously. I can't believe that anyone I've ridden with would misrepresent a booking like this.

I would appreciate a private pm (to go no further) if this is some sort of joke gone wrong. Failing that, I can only conclude that this is some form of malicious attempt to sour a good relationship between trail riders and the bunkhouse family.

Any thoughts ? :nenau

That the bit that has pissed me of they do ask for credit card details when you make a booking ...And the fooker who phoned up said he was me and had stayed there before :mad:

Easy done ....Hi I'm the guy who stayed at your bunkhouse on such a date ...you know the group of trail riders ...could I please make a larger booking this time for the 19th june ...Sorry I don't have my credit card on me now do you have it on file ...

We have stayed there 4 or 5 times - she just took the call a genuine :eek:
 
That doesn't sound like any kind of "humour" to me, it sounds more like someone trying to get something without paying for it. :mad:
Hope you find who it is and it gets sorted.

Great venue for a gathering :thumb2

Wrong time of year too many Ramblers and tourists... :D

Gutted I can't make it up to Skye this year :tears I know as always you'll have a great weekend :clap

If I get something sorted for later in the year you could bring a Jock posse down and Terry and I could show you some of the trails around North West Wales and the pubs in the evening :beer::thumb2
