Re: Wales - 16-18 June 2023
Hi Folks,
Having being fresh back from the states and the Moonshine is out of my system
I see a lot of planning has been going on....
So what time is everyone planning on setting off on Friday?
My mate Chris and I are coming from Fareham and would love to tag along to a group for a scenic route to the hotel and then maybe a bimble in the afternoon. We are happy to leave early doors.
We just need to know where and at what time

Re: Wales - 16-18 June 2023
You could meet me, Phil and Darren for the early start M5 jcn 27 services 06.30. Quick blast up what should be an easy M5 into Wales at Chepstow then loverly Welsh roads to the Neuadd. Stopping to stretch legs at the Chepstow Spar NP16 6BE about 07.45 then breakfast stop At Morris's Usk. I'm hoping to get in a ride from the hotel Friday afternoon.
Others are leaving later and doing a circuitous route toavoid the motorway.

Re: Wales - 16-18 June 2023
A little tweak to Saturday route to avoid Welshpool along some other nice roads:-

Don't worry all you "must have the route on my satnav" peeps, Richard is amending the files.

Talking of Friday, when the early birds and I get to Wales:-
https://goo.gl/maps/bv3fEnckgPSbBYyq9
Then an afternoon ride. Ignoring what I previously posted it'll probably simply be up the A483 to Newtown turn round and back along the twisties to Llandovery and turn round back up the A483 to the Neuadd. OR just sit in the sun with a few bevvies waiting for the others to turn up - again
