Welsh Ride Thing 2012

Post by Ian »

Thought I'd kick off a WRT 2012 thread in anticipation of the grid references coming out....[checks calendar].... tomorrow?

You won't hear anything directly until the end of April, when you'll receive an email containing a list of grid reference points and the numbers of the OS maps where they can be found.
Can't wait :D

Was wondering if they'd be released today too - looking forward to seeing where we're going. Spent the afternoon fettling my bike in preparation - need to get some off road miles in this month if I can.

Maybe its a very long list?

He's certainly very quiet today...

Or, maybe he's gone into hiding ;)

Anyone who's entered but hasn't received an email containing a rather large list of numbers ... check your spam and any old random email address you might have given me. If it's not there then email me stuart@bearbonesbikepacking.co.uk and I'll resend them ;)

Bugger ... what number Ian? Every year I manage to get an SN and SH the wrong way round :oops:
Could be worse, I recall one year it was 60 miles out in the Irish sea!

Numbers are wrong I think as SN puts you in the sea or SJ in the Dee Estuary.

Seems to be rogue ... I'll let everyone know to ignore it unless they fancy a trip that far north ;)
