Re: Offas Byke coast to coast
Have you managed to get out and do this yet Dan?
From your post I see that you're local to FoD? I was going to offer some suggestions for the area but I'm guessing that's not the area you needed help with!

Re: CyB and Nant Yr Arian closing ...
I seem to remember when NRW was formed out of the Countryside Council for Wales, Forestry Commission Wales and Environment Agancy in Wales there were some misgivings about the likely conflicts of interest between the agendas of each body. Forestry, tourism and protecting the environment are awkward ...

Re: CyB and Nant Yr Arian closing ...
Have trail centres had there day? Just idly speculating - when they were doing Glentress back in 2001, us regulars of the old trails figured it would be a fad that lasted a few years, the trails would then be abandoned and it would be back to how it was... That didn't happen, obviously, but I've al...

Re: Damien, and other BR stuff
So I climbed up into the fuel tank, a filthy box slung underneath which gleamed inside. It was quite psychedelic to be honest, plus there was the diesel fumes. Anyway I started to look for anything which might have been causing the engine to cut out. We'd taken everything else to pieces and checked...

Re: Pain and suffering
That show, or at least the contestants, totally crazy
Of course, if the trail was overgrown with nettles and brambles at the beginning you wouldn't go there that's why you're only committed to pushing on at the end of the trail

*sigh* apart from the one I'm interested in.... Which is odd really as you wouldn't have thought there was that much demand for an SS-able gravel frame.

Re: Want to buy a pub ? (or a part of a pub)
I find it ironic that pubs that close down because they are not used by the local community end up being reopened as community pubs :???: (plus I'm a bit negative about Brockweir because the residents there were one of the biggest objectors to the Wye Valley Greenway going through the village!
