ok peoples....

For anyone coming up from Devon/Somerset, do you fancy meeting up and riding over to Wales together...?? Can always come here for a brew if you like, or meet at Sedgemoor Services if easier..?

What time are folks heading off..??!!

Me and Mr S will probably be leaving here early/mid afternoon to meet up with others at Severn Services just before the bridge, then doing the luuuuverly roads up through Usk and Aber....

Let me know what you want to do and we can try and get a few together!!

woo hoo!! 8 more sleeps! :)): :)): :)):

Don't care who you are, how much you have, how powerful you are. You still sit on the toilet with your pants around your ankles. Yep, it's a level playing field..

You're full of the joys aren't you :)): From those reviews I reckon most of them were townies expecting 5 star treatment. I reckon its one of those places that "is what it is" and its down to you to make the most of what it is. I expect most of them went to Centre Parks last year and paid a fortune,then went here for a 1/10th of the price expecting the same thing. Hope I'm right :mrgreen:

Sounds good Smiler!
Mentioning the bouquet...... one of the weddings was this saturday just gone, as soon as the bride went to chuck the flowers, my girlfriend bolted it in the opposite direction to get as far away from the flowers as possible!!! I have never seen someone run so fast in high heels....... Must be true love! :D

Have a good one on the weekender!

All righty then boys and girls... Who's riding up when from where?? I'll be heading up from Exeter Friday afternoon. be good to hitch up so at least can get lost with others rather than on my tod. :ympray:

Am thinking, maybe local meets, then maybe a merge at Gordano services, Just south of the Avon Mouth fly over?
What kind of time is anyone thinking to be anywhere??
