Is there a meet this wednesday at fox house cheers chris

We’ve been discussing organising a run-out at our monthly meet for a while now so now it’s time to make some definite plans. So here goes:

Date – Saturday 11^th / Sunday 12^th / August 2012, Drive up on Saturday morning, overnight stay and then drive back on Sunday. Other activities on the 2 days to be determined by the weather, and whatever people want to do.

Destination – Llyn Peninsula, North West Wales with an overnight camp on Saturday night in Pistyll near to Nefyn at Penisarlon Farm, LL53 6LR – there’s some details of the site here http://www.penisarlonfarm.co.uk/ (it’s is still under construction – the website that is, not the campsite but it gives you an idea). It’s in a great spot overlooking the sea, nice and quiet (until we arrive) with all the usual facilities and the cost is just a fiver per person per night. The lower camping area will accommodate around 15 pitches so we should be ok for space, there’s a short track down to the lower camping area (20 yards) that isn’t really suitable for kits to drive on so the site owner says we can have a dedicated area to park at the top of the track if necessary. He’s quite happy to make arrangements that most suit us on the day depending on what we want to do.

It’s in a convenient location just a 2 minute walk from my house so I won’t have to sleep under canvas and won’t be kept awake by rowdy campers. Please note however that the village of Pistyll is just a few houses and the nearest shop, cashpoint etc is a 5 minute drive away in Nefyn. People don’t need to make any bookings at this stage – all I need to do is get an idea of numbers and then let the site know a few days beforehand and then we can pay on the day.

The plan is to have a couple of meeting points en-route and a stop off for some lunch. I have spoken to Gaz0571 and we propose the following:

Initial meeting point 0900 - The lay-by opposite the Copper Kettle Café on the A5 between Nuneaton and Atherstone. This is the meeting point that’s been used in the past by Midlands members for the Stafford show.

Second meeting point approx 0945 – In the car park at the Tollgate Cottage Café, Four Crosses on the A5 WS11 1SF

The en-route stop off will be at The Rhug Organic Farm shop just west of Corwen on the A5 LL21 0EH http://www.rhug.co.uk/the_shop/find_us.asp There’s food available here, decent loos and plenty of easy parking. I’d estimate an arrival time here of around 11-45 depending on traffic.

The remainder of the trip will basically be via, Bala, Trawsfyndd, Porthmadog and Criccieth. I have prepared some more detailed directions that I can send to people if they’re interested and can be printed off. I plan on already being up in Wales on the Friday, so I will probably drive out meet up with everyone at the Rhug Farm Shop and give people the option of following me for the last part of the journey to save having to read maps for the trickier last bit. I’ve planned the route to avoid any of the nastier roads that sat-navs generally take you along. Overall driving time is probably around 4 hours from Nuneaton, there’s an option to avoid the M54 if people particularly want to avoid the motorway – it’s not especially busy, just a bit boring for 20 minutes.

If anyone’s interested and wants to travel a bit lighter, I can transport their gear, tents etc up to Wales and back again as I will be taking 2 cars up there on either the Thursday night or the Friday morning (first come, first served up to whatever I can cram in the second car within reason). All you need to do is let me know what you want taking and either get it to me at home in Tamworth before Thursday 9^th or alternatively I can meet up at the Malt Shovel pub (normal monthly meet venue) between 1830 and 1900 on Wednesday 8^th August and collect stuff there.

If you’re interested, stick a reply on here. If there’s any further questions, let me or Gaz know and between us we’ll try to answer them.

North East Hoodies

Another chance to see & be part of the soft tops meet, we shall gather at "Willet Arms" pub BH21 1RN for a group trundle to the quay. Suggest we up the quality of the meal this time by using one of the restaurants on the front,rather than the "van". Meeting time at pub to be decided ;nearest to 6pm is good.
