How much longer are you going to drag this out

I don't know, until we get bored presumably

It's doubtful I'll be in attendance unless my disposition changes between now and then ... but have fun.

Shame we couldn't persuade you Stu - it's one of the few times we actually get to sit and enjoy your company rather than being sent off into the wild by you :)

A suggestion has been made to see about booking a bunkhouse in the peak (white) somewhere.

Happy to organise this if people can show who would be interested - this would be on the night of the 28th. . . If we can't fill a bunkhouse it may still be a Welsh bothy :)

Happy to do bunkhouse or bothy. Only the crucial bits missing now...where is the start line and what time should we be there?

S.

Either for me.

Booking a bunkhouse will require a certain number of definite takers, so far there is

Definites-
Me
Taylor
Scattamah
Burty (hasn't expressed view on a bh though)

Likely-
Blackhound
Wotsits (probably arriving after everyone else has gone to sleep - like some weird belated santa)

Not possibles -
Chew (would a bunkhouse closer to you make it possible Chew?)

So - at this rate the planning may consist of giving a bothy name and letting you all decide on your own route there. In the past we've set of from BB towers but Stu is hibernating until the winter event so that won't happen

i am easy either way.
stu stop being a miserable git and get out .

Nothing stopping you ... just that I won't be playing out.

I didn't realise they had a bunkhouse. Javi and I had some excellent food there whilst trundling around the Peak 200 earlier this year - most accommodating for a couple of rather mucky cyclists

I should be available for whatever is organised. I want to do a one hundred mile ride before the end of the year so I would be riding there and probably arriving in the late evening. I only have a couple of spare days so would fit this in. Bunkhouse might be better than a bothy as I can use my road bike but can fit around.

I stayed in Bamford a few years ago:

Hurdlow sounds good though.

Hurdlow is shut for the Xmas to new year week.

OK, given the timing and the difficulties in getting confirmation in numbers booking etc over the next few days I have decided on the bothy option.

Will be a bothy in Elan valley, confirm on here if you are coming and I will send you some more details :)

Bothy in Elan valley suits Beth and I. What date are we going for...?

28-29th

Balls, last time I checked it was 27-28, so went and arranged child care for then...

Those dates are good for me.

i am in

Which bothy ? In Anglesey from tomorrow so need to work out where I'll be going from

I'll be riding in from Rhayader, leaving about 12.30-1pm arriving dusk-ish.
Might not be the most direct route though.

just to get it clear what dates are we actually going for ,
as I am now confused

28th and 29th I defo know this coz I can't go

thumbs up for the date
but booooooo because mike cant go .

Am assuming Claerddu? Aiming to ride from Rhayader or if time tight the Elan visitor centre
