....... the date for this years Welsh Winter Bivvy is Dec 15th. It's a date that won't suit everyone but so is any other date that could be picked.

All details to be confirmed but you know the score :wink:

.... could quickly nip over into Montgomeryshire as part of the ride so it could count as the WWB as well. Or even bivi exactly on the border line - head in Wales, feet in England perhaps.

No bame to assign Reg, I just thought that if the WWB was going to be somewhat quiet, a trip over the border might be in order.

Yep, Kerry Ridgeway is about the easiest / most direct way of crossing the border.

CHIP FIGHT! Excellent.

Kerry Ridgeway'd be interesting. Was going to train it to Stretton but Newtown just as easy. Anyways no need to decide yet. Curiously the fastest way Milton Keynes to Newtown via Shrewsbury is through Brum. But to Church Stretton it's to steam on a fast train way past Brum up to Crewe miles further north then swap to a train back south again. What do I know, I just sit back and drink tea staring aimlessly out the window and assume the driver knows where (s)he's going.

Think we might have to try harder this year on the fancy dress. Also hoping we have a 3 course camp stove Christmas diner again!
