Hi all iv'e had reply back from Phil for this weekend,he has pencilled in July 15/16th,he is putting on his forum later today to start to get list of interest up, he has few names already, as mentioned on othere thread this year won't co-incide with Pendine Dash, but thought on the Sun i could take you on mini Dambusters route and over Beaons the Eppynt Mountain Ranges for little bit of fun, looking at pub lunch in Dambusters old HQ the Belle Vue Inn Llanwrtyd Wells,and after lunch up into the the forest and over to Llian Briane Reservoir down into Llandovery and back to camp, i don't camp as only just down road from me but i pop up Fri evening for beer and chat and hope for this run on the Sun, watch this space Dave

If any of you feel you would like to camp and have a laugh i will give you the number of camp site which by the way has Loo of the year 2 years running and the best piped music ever ha ha

As i was offline all day yesterday and weather was fab, i decided to go and do the Mini Dambusters route for this Fpower Pencelli weekend, have to say if the suns shines like it did today on thisweekend your in for a treat, i say it's Mini Dambusters but is a full day of superb driving and sightseeing, Dambusters was 3 day event, (we are not doing the Elan Valley Dam run and visit ) just not enough time, the other 2 days i have combined into one day, i think we may now do this run on the Saturday instead of the Sunday, waiting for confirmation from Phil, watch this space, Dave

[SWMG Admin]

[James C]

All I need now is a good quality 2 man tent.

Anyone have any reccomendations?

I want something decent, as I hope to go camping again

[Floozy]

Tent? I was going to wrap myself up in a quilt in the boot ;D

[James C]

I thought of that, but my legs would stick out, I could put the roof down and sleep standing up I suppose. Might be a problem if it rains though
