Wales Buggy Run July 2017

[Lilspeed]

Its nice to get something in the diary and start thinking about summer fun

 

[Danny]

sounds good to me think I get in free there with my press pass

So a couple of decisions were made over a couple of beers (although evidence suggested more) they have decided that Crickhowell will be given a rest this year & the format is changing.

Rather than moving along each day we're going to try the format of camping up for the 3 nights & venturing out in a different direction each day.

The new central campsite will be in the Elan Valley, http://elanoaks.co.uk/index.php (To be confirmed) there was also talk of water sports (No not that kind) but a canoe/kayak float/paddle/turnover down one of the rivers/stream/rapids. As one of the older members has also suddenly decided on a health kick & discovered he can still ride his bike (No not that kind of bike, a real one where blue pills are not required), there may also be an option to bring your mountain bike & go out for a ride in the evenings (optional Danny)

So current runners & riders are

Danny
Steve
Simon (Esdebe)
Justin (Lilspeed)
Moi

Any other takers?

There is one within a mile of the campsite so that has got to be a definite

 

[Danny]

ah fair enough on the way back to the campsite though

 

[Danny]

Actually quite excited for this years Wales Trip

 

[Lilspeed]

Me too!! Maybe that's because I don't know what I've let myself in for though.

Preparations are going fairly well. Can't be sure whether everything fits in the buggy yet - I'll be surprised if I'm not travelling with something on my lap!!!

You're taking too much stuff then, I've taken so much stuff over the last 7 years that have never been used I'm bringing nothing this year, I know it's the back of beyond, but if we need anything we'll go find somewhere that sells it.

 

[Lilspeed]

I don't have pannier boxes though!! :-\

I'm used to travelling fairly light from my continental Mini trips, but this will be next level for me!

 

[Phaeton]
