Just a thought as it worth linking this up with a rideout out to Tom's farm or is Jason Mabel's other half going to find us some equally good free off-road stuff?

It's on my calendar, so looking good so far

Just been granted a pass by SWMBO.

Probably camp for Friday or Saturday unless the weather is really hot and the beer is really cold and then I might stay for the duration.

It sounds like mudiz is the man for showing us some offroading.

Looks great. Sorry I can't join you guys.

A note of caution. A meeting like this should be inclusive, meaning everyone will feel like it's for them. If you plan on doing lots of off-road, you'll alienate the many members who don't want to do this (inexperienced, expensive bike, not ruggedised, bringing pillion, not interested). By all means have an off-road trip, but organise a road-only alternative for the same day. You could also look for any simple forest fire roads that will keep everyone happy, like here.

Good call DW, I was thinking the same thing.

As i said
Nothing really planned yet.
Sort of playing it by ear,the main thing is to get a meet going

Unfortunately we won't be able to make it until the Saturday afternoon because Jason has his graduation ceremony but will be coming to meet you all and camp over saturday night. I will speak to Jason tonight and post some route suggestions tommorrow with options for off road routes too.

Ok Update
Just spoke to Anne the owner of Disserth Campsite,what a lovely Lady.
No problem to have a bunch of bikers over in fact they host a lot of bikers there(BM's(hey chad )Triumph,Classics etc.)
The prize is £ 5 aa nightp/p for a single tent and £ 8.50 for 2
They do a cooked breakfast for a fiver,just need to put your name down the evening bevor
There are 2 b&b's near by(5-10 min up the road) wich charge around £ 20 a night Anne thinks but you would have to phone yourself to find out more.Pm me for the Phone numbers
They have a bar onside
BBQ is not a problem as long its of the ground but she has no idea if there is one to hire anywhere.So unless we can hire one its everybody for them selves
Maybe somebody from the wales sides comes past the place in the next couple of weeks and could have a look around, take some pics of the site and ask around about the BBQ
Nearest shops are 5 min away

Come on guys,this is looking better by the minute
I said to Anne i would keep in contact with regards to people coming,so if i just could ask you guys to puy your name down in the calendar section
