Would be nice to meet if possible when we come down.. Rolfy you and Jan will be more than welcome to join us for the trip if you can make it..
Decided on the motorway route down to Brecon (Cwm) so as we can spend 2-3 hours there without arriving late evening, but we can easily go the scenic way if theres time.. Which route do you suggest to go down Rolfy :p

This trip was supposed to be a shakedown for the touring season but the way winter is hanging in we look like doing the shake down with the main event lol
We will be looking to go as soon as the weather settles..trying to think positive again lol..

looking forward to this now so maybe the bad weather at easter was a blessing in disguise h1d1ng2

I will post up as early as possible as soon as we know

Well, if the decided time fits in with us as well, the route I would suggest for you is...

Nottingham (or where you live) - A42/ M42/M5/A456 to
Kidderminster to collect us...LOL

Then out through Tenbury Wells (lovely switchback of a road :lick:) down to Leominster, then on to Glasbury, then Brecon....(nice sweepy quick roads).

Just let us know which weekend, then we will arrange it.. If you want to stop at our place on the Friday evening/night, you are most welcome.

Best wishes,

Rolfy & Jan

B&B's

What is it with booking accommodation in this country ...
Every hotel, B&B Ive contacted want a minimum of two nights booking..
some of them have all rooms available but they still wont let you book a single night (we want two rooms as well)

I am also in the process of booking our le mans and Brittany trip for May and life is sooo much easier and simple.. :bow:

Any one recommend anywhere in the Crick howell and Betsw y coed areas please ..


Rolphy we can meet up where you like mate.. are you thinking of overnighting with us or just the one day ..

we can come collect you on the way down if you like, as long as I get 2/3 hours visiting Cwm I dont mind which route we take R#?

right, deep breath and back to the phone, email to try and sort us some accommodation :rolleyes:
