Am assuming Claerddu?

Seeing how no one's bothering to tell you Steve, I'd take it as a safe assumption.

[adjustablewench]

I have sent you a message with details Steve, if anyone else is interested let me know

Sorry for being a little slack . . .seem to have got a bit busy atm ;p

[burty]

how many does Claerddu sleep.?
I may bring the tarp anyway just in case

[Taylor]

About 10 before the floor gets used.

[sillybigfella]

I've sent you a PM.

[Ian]

About 10 before the floor gets used.

Isn't there an annex Steve could use?

Taylor, Beth and I will be riding in from Rhayader also if you fancied some company?

I've parked there before overnight and left a note in the window and mentioned at the centre with no problems.
I'll be parking athe start of the cycle path at the edge of town but bypassing the visitor centre and heading round the other side of the reservoirs.

Like Taylor, iv left my car in the car park at the start or the cycle route just on edge of town a few times over night with no bother and also at the visitors centre down the side with no bother. Iv also abandoned it just before the vc over the river bridge by the toilet block it will be fine!! I don't think burgular bill has made it to that part of Wales yet it's a bit to wet for him

Have fun guys n gals....im sending some goodies with ione for you all in the bothy so enjoy :0) and see you all at the winter event

[sillybigfella]

Sorry guys, inlaws are arriving tomorrow so I'll have to bail. Enjoy!

[Ian]

Babysitting arrangements have fallen through at this end, so it'll just be me I think.
Will most likely ride from here, as I've not been out for a while and really need a good leg stretch...

[Stevemorg]

I'll make my way from the visitor centre so will see you at the bothy

Ian - you are welcome to a lift back to Brecon if you want one

[burty]

I will see you tomorrow ,
how many are going . does anyone know

[adjustablewench]

8ish I think,

Myself, Taylor, Ian, Burty, Scattamah, Stevemorg, Blackhound and maybe another

If I have missed anyone off apologies - been rather caught up in Christmas.

If we meet another group there it may be a squeeze but I'm sure it'll be fine :)

[Blackhound]

I am not going to make it. I have not been well - although not particularly poorly either - for about 10 days. Tried a five mile ride this morning and was not strong. Better off staying at home and looking after myself. Have a great time those that get there.

[Ian]

Well, that was fun

Thanks to:
Ione for organising and plying us all with booze and cheese
Andy for the company on the ride out to the bothy
Paul and Taylor for being first there so the bothy was warm when we arrived
Jase for turning up late(r than everyone else)
Steve for the lift back from Rhayader

[Chicken Legs]

Thanks to Ione for organising, was really good to see everyone

Can't post any pics on here cause my flickr account is buggered, so will put a couple on Stalkbook Bike & Bivi..

Hope everyone got home ok.

[Ian]

No wet shoes for Taylor

Must've eaten too many mince pies at the bothy

And taylor had to eat mince pies to help soak up the red and white wine

[Stevemorg]

Great trip - cheers guys!
