Might be sending you some queries about route choice, as I'm bringing mini techno with me, if that's ok?

Re: WRT GR on their way.
I'm traumatised. One possible route is almost an exact replica of the one Pickers, PeterS, MaM, and Reg did last September, when it rained heavily non-stop for 3 days and the Dyfi flooded the entire valley causing power cuts, train cancellations and 20-mile road diversions. Even Stu was stunned by the ferocity of the deluge.
But of course this is August so it'll be absolutely fine....

Re: WRT GR on their way.
Yeah but that's just one possible route Reg. There's plenty more to go at*

Re: WRT GR on their way.
Stu, you've mentioned earlier in the year about the police patrolling Hafren forest and other areas. Just wondering if that's still the case and whether it would affect potential bivy spots.

Good point. Think I might give the MaMReg Memorial Toilet Block a miss!whitestone wrote: ↑Sun Aug 02, 2020 10:14 am Stu, you've mentioned earlier in the year about the police patrolling Hafren forest and other areas.

Re: WRT GR on their way.
I'd obviously employ a degree of stealth but I think we're all inclined to do that anyway. Police checks / patrols have ceased and life is quite normal now Bob. Certainly plenty of holiday makers knocking about.Stu, you've mentioned earlier in the year about the police patrolling Hafren forest and other areas.

Re: WRT GR on their way.
So there's well over 40 old mines en route so that's me sorted. Was a bit down that Golden Sands wasn't a GR , but I've rallied considerably now, so thank you for some thoughtful GRs Stu (don't spoil it by mentioning the dartboard ). Just means I'll presumably have to go solo on my nerdy poking-around wanderings . I think it's going to be a good one.

Re: WRT GR on their way.
Don’t forget to call in that little boozer reg and have one (or 4 for me ) then you can wobble your way up to our toilet block

Re: WRT GR on their way.
It's got to be on the cards hasn't it? I can make like a giant hamster.
Will do mate. Envelope-back rough idea includes 43 mines, 6 pubs, 4 shops, 3 toilet blocks, 2 cafes and a beach so far. Bit low on the cafe count so that can't be right .middleagedmadness wrote: Don’t forget to call in that little boozer Reg and have one (or 4 for me ) then you can wobble your way up to our toilet block.

Re: WRT GR on their way.
Q about the GR just east of Goginan: are the 'other routes' that meet at that point all rideable and accessible from the other ends?

Re: WRT GR on their way.
Lovely, cheers Stuart. Often wondered about crossing the Rheidol down at Devil's Bridge - looks like I'll get the chance now.

Re: WRT GR on their way.
Just remembered that we patronised toilet blocks on BOTH nights on that caper didn't we! Ludicrous. What's brilliant is we then didn't have to go far at all to deal with our pensioners' overnight waterworks issues . Really though, the whole situation just fitted superbly well with our 'lavatorial' sense of humour . Gonna miss having ya on WRT. Hope you have a bollox time at work .middleagedmadness wrote: ↑Sun Aug 02, 2020 2:07 pm Don’t forget to call in that little boozer reg and have one (or 4 for me ) then you can wobble your way up to our toilet block

Re: WRT GR on their way.
So I might want to join up with one / more on this one as it'll only be my second venture outdoors this year and I'm still feeling pretty Bambi about all of it.
Will check with people closer to the date. Hopefully I can find a willing victim!
