Wales 16th - 18th May 2008

[ELIMINATOR]

SWMBO has just bought a bike,(KLE 500) so I'll have to see if I can drag her along............. Hmmm. I've only got a topbox & panniers & a tankbag. Perhaps I'll need more luggage for the 18 changes of clothing, & 10 pairs of shoes that are a "necessity"

Booked!

Booked in to the camp site for Friday and Saturday nights. Looking forward to meeting you all.

Probably taking my favourite route from London to Wales - A40 all the way from London Town to Brecon - then up the A470 to Hay. If anyone else fancies a blast down there on the Friday morning we could arrange it nearer the time.

Has someone sorted the weather yet?

Hope isn't needed as the weather was booked 6 weeks ago

If you see a cloud in the sky on your way up just laugh at it

Hi y'all, just to let you know that I have made a reservation in a comfy dry spot in the field. Looking forward to seeing you all.

I would be good to meet up en route Mr Henry. I'm coming fromMilton Keynes, so could meet you at the BMW garage where the A40 meets the A44 on the north west outskirts of Oxford. Just let me know what time you expect to arrive at that point.

Anybody else coming up from London who would like to join us?

 

[Magwa]

See you all on 18th

I'll be there on 18th only ( day visit)
I'm on nights the day before
so I will be the Kn***ered one asleep on the floor
Look I'm a poet and didn't know it!

Cheers

Can I come just for the day on the Saturday? I doubt I'll be able to get a "night away" pass, but would love to meet more of you.

 

[Paul G (BHT)]

Of course you can Robin but it might be a little quiet during the day as many will be out on the road run or off road run...... or even nursing very large hangovers if Proff has anything to do with it

It awful isn't it. I do hope the heating in the Hotel bedrooms is up to scratch

I'll start the painstaking process to see if I'm allowed to stay for the evening. I might be able to "buy" a night's camping...

 

[VectisTraveller]

room available

Hi, I have had to cancel my executive single booked for the 16th, 17th an 18th. I will be losing my deposit unless someone is still looking for a room for all or some of those days. If you phone the hotel 01497820033 and ask for Paul he will know about it. I'm looking at losing £60 so if anyone is interested that will be great. Let me know if you sort something out so I can claim my money back

 

[AndyT]

Is the Monday a Bank Holiday in England??? Are most people staying the Sunday night or just Fri/Sat??

regards

Andy

 

[Summer]

It is not a bank holiday on the Monday 19th, we are stayin Friday and Saturday nyt and headin back home on Sunday, however we have got the Monday booked off as well so we can sort out dirty bikes and smelly clothes

 

[Deleted account 210609001]

In a firm and decisive "what the heck" action, I have told Mrs Robin that I'll be away for the weekend.

I'll be booking the Friday and Saturday nights camping. Won't be arriving until late-ish Frinday night, though.

 

[DavidHale]

What's the chance of just turning up on spec on the Friday night? Mid May is an eon away at the moment and I may or may not be able to get away.... would ya mind if I just rolled up with a tent and money for the local fish and chip shop?

Let me know if you're going and if you fancy riding down together, David.
