Happy Valley - August 29th

[Crispin]

Folks,

A much needed trip to Happy Valley is on the cards for the 29th. Jon will provide some pointers on the routes and lanes used.

Guess the plan is to meet in the morning, drive around, have lunch and then leg it home.

Head count ?

 

[Graham]

Hello,

Roughly where is 'Happy Valley'?

Graham

 

[Crispin]

Wales

Northern Wales, Snowdonia. Long ol' trek for us Londoners...

 

[Graham]

Aaahh,
I see Happy Valley is by Aberdovey, just North of Aberystwyth ?
Right Happy Valley, or is there more than 1 ?
And Strata Florida is by Soar-y-Mynydd, Llandridod Wells. ?

I'm game!!!! Is there potential to get stuck? Can't wait.

Where exactly is "happy valley"? The SWMBO will be coming with so i need to find a B&B for the sunday night. Apparently sleeping in the back of the cruiser in a parking lot doesn't count as a romantic weekend away.

 

[Crispin]

Good stuff.

Try getting a B&B foryourself and offer up the now emptier 'cruiser for wife?

Have a look on Youtube - seem to be some nice lanes there. (But we trusted Jon anyway! )

 

[TonyP]

yes please...... I like the sound of this one Now just to convince SWMBO that it's important that I partake in this event

 

[Graham]

OK, so should we make a list of

1, Definates
2, Probables
3, Maybe's

[ignat]

I'm probably a definite. Maybe.

Count me in.

 

[Jon Wildsmith]

One or more people, depending on numbers, will need to volunteer to lead / navigate

 

[Crispin]

I'm happy to (with the aid of your overlay / gps logs / list of places)

 

[fridayman]

What sort of laning will it be i.e. hardcore bring your 20t winch and digger, or potter about pansy-ville?

 

[Crispin]

Most of us have normal vehicles so I'm not wanting to find hardcore bring-a-big-winch-and-roll-bars lanes. Some hard sections and getting stuck is a must though

 

[BlackBetty]

I would definately be interested.

 

[Tommo&Claire]

I'm happy to lead a group if Crispin will fix my nav system for me!

I said I would Any chance you coming past London before then? Worst case, I have a spare PDA I could put MM on.

I say on youtube last night a vintage disco club (disco's circa 2004 ) They must have had about 12 vehicles in the group. Hoping we don't meet up with them...

 

[Tommo&Claire]

i do hate when people do that, 6 vehicles is the max really!

I could drop in next week sometime, bring disks, cables, bits with wires, little memory card things..... i have no idea about any of it but i'm sure you'll have a blast!

Sorry no can do, going to be becoming a new dad at about that time.
Salisbury would have been OK as its not far from home but North wales might be a bit too far.
Maybe next time, enjoy yourselves
