    It's a bit of a trek for me, 3 and a half hours to get there, and then if I'm lucky I'll be going back to my mates in Cardiff, which is still an hour and a half....might just do Cwm Carn.

    It's pretty much the same distance as Whinlatter, and I wouldn't even go there and back in one day!

    not at 7.60 to park ;)

    Gimme a shout if you plan a cwm ride, as I can get away with dropping lilybet off at her sisters in Cardiff which means play time for Gazlar, plus i'll bring my inhailer

    Tbh, I don't actually expect a big take up on it, as brechfa is that little bit further for folks, but if 1,2 or 100 people turn up, it's far preferable to riding on your tod

    What if your dreams and fears existed in the same place? What if to get to heaven, you had to brave hell? What if everything you've ever wanted cost you everything you've ever achieved? Would you still go there?

    Edited to give choice of date to suit

    i might throw a date out soon for a more middle of the country location that more peeps can make, we had quite a few at Cannock last year,

    I'd go to a cannock ride/middle of the country ride, easy to get to from home and trains to the midlands from uni are fairly easy for me.

    As for Brechfa I think I'm on a placement in Somerset still, or I'll just have finished the placement the day before, if I've just finished I may make a detour on the way home :lol:

    was it only 4 people that turned up last time? Excellent.
    Better than the supposed group trip down to Brechfa this weekend just been. Only two of us could make it in the end, so we didn't bother.
    Pretty narked, since I'd had to mess things around at work to ensure I could make it.

    Anyway, all of that means I may be interested in the CC Brechfa ride, sinnce I've never been there before.
    Unfortunately though, I have a race on the 20th :shock:
    Yea... me... race :?

    But that's not the 21st is it? ;)

    I think the Sunday is looking a favourite, just means I'll have to get mashed on the Friday instead

    So, this ride is, in essence "Follow the Gazlar"?

    that would be an awesome, if rather unskilled trail. Plus if your following me you're not going particularly quickly.

    I'd say brechfa was more "I'm scared to ride on my own and I don't like being billy no mates, someone come and play pleeeease"
