Kev...

that is great....shame I don't live in Brum

LOL

A trip to a camping store is in order...hope they don't try to sell me a caravan

Ian

 

Jase ..

Found this if it's any use ..

 

The Llanberis pass is awsome, spectacular views of Mt Snowdon and a lurvly stone wall all the way down to bounce them warbling scooby noises around

If we stick round these are you will NOT be dissapointed, i gaurantee it

Plenty of roads, more than we will have time for in 1 weekend!


God, i`m so bloody excited!!!!!!!!

 

Hi guys...

Are we actually stopping on a site ?

Or ruffing it in a field (friendly farmer with a shot gun springs to mind)

Lets sort this

J.

I reckon a small campsite would suffice, dont fancy the farmers 12-bore. Theres plenty up there, we can find one on the day.

Paul

 

We should be in deepest Wales by lunch time so there should be plenty of time to look around for landing sites...

(And in my tail happy tart of a car until !!! I may find myself traversing backwards through a hedge or two....'Hey lads...er..I think I found a campsite' springs to mind..hehe)

It may be worth planning a couple of Towns in along route for SUL, may take a spare can in the boot just in case. Oh...and a few bottles of Millers - isn't it great that they make octane booster and beer...its just uncanny!

Found myself a nice big water bottle too..W/S only lasted 3/4 laps round Donnington!

jase 'more fluid in boot than tank' cooper.

 

This looks like a lot of fun..!

Unfortunely i've just come back from some serious piloting around Snowdon and N. Wales myself - A4086 Llanberis Pass(?), A487, A470 - AH Heaven !

I'll keep an eye out for the next one as i'll be at Trax that weekend!.

I could probably get a few others to come up from the south as well!

Have fun... ....

 

Yep, Count me in!

Been down south all week so I've not been keeping up with this

I've got me tent, a choice of sleeping bags, a meths stove, midge repelant and me wellies!

Ian: What's the sheep repelant for? I thought that was part of the fun

OK time & place needed to meet?

Chris
Can't wait - been driving a hideous Fiat Multipla Turbo Diesel 'Pope-Mobile' all week!

 

Kev is trying to convince me to come along!

Does anyone have a rough idea of where we will be (driving or camp, er, tenting)? How far does a scooby seat recline? Do the sheep wear lipstick?

mb

 

Hi guys, been watching you making plans with interest...... and guess wot.....I WANNA COME as well . I live Nr Worcester so maybe I could meet up wiv some of you en route ???
i gotta tent and can bring my own sheep but I aint sharing it (sheep that is)
Will watch 4 further details or e-mail me pleeezzze,
Thanx SCOOP

 

Hi all

All this talk of sheep ... everyone will think we are going to go cattle rustlin' not drivin' ...

Martin, "go on my son, you know it makes sense .."

Are we going to have a head (scoob) count ??

K

 

Back again... I've spoken to Badger this morning and persuaded him that his scooby needs a weekend in wales, so he's coming along as well.

We are both from Worcestershire and are meeting up about 7.30am.

If anyone else wants to join us let me know and we can arrange a rendevous, the more the better huh !!!

Can't wait hee-hee SCOOP

Right then....


Saturday morning 9th Sept 9-00am at....

Macdonalds car park
A5 Cannock.

If your heading west to east on the A5, as you go through Cannock you can`t miss the Caterpiller factory on the left handside, at the next island you will see MaccyDs. We will be in the carpark at 9-00 stuffing ourselves with fodder.

Once everybody has arrived and sorted themselves out we will then carry on up the A5 into Wales.

We will travel up through Betwsy-Coed and onto Capel Curig, where we could stop for lunch.

From then on its a case of getting out the map and deciding where we want to go.
I know Wales quite well so can put us all in the right direction.

Anybody who is seriously intending to come, please put up a post as we don`t want to leave Cannock with out you.

If anybody wants to contact me, feel free to phone on 07970 443489.

Cheers

Paul

 

Paul..

I'm going

K

 

Yep,

But ****. 9am at Cannock.. pooh... I need my beauty sleep (for all those sheep)

I'll try and get my car sorted... needs a few tweeks doing to the ECU map.

J.

 

Mornin' chaps

Good stuff Paul!

Seeing as theres quite a few of us heading from our mystical world that be Derby...I suggest another meet up point -

McDonalds(again) on the A38/A52/Markeaton park roundabout 8am. Leaving at 8.15 to meet up with Paul & co at 9.

Look at all those details J and its getting earlier

jase.

 

I'm in

Jase: I should be in the Derby contingent if I can get my **** out of bed! Otherwise see you on the A38.

Still not got a coolbox for the Stella/Kronenburg

Chris

 

I'm in too (of course)

My brother will be in attendance as co-driver (plus he will possibly take the helm for some of the drive - oh god :O).

I can't wait.

Ian

 

Paul, surely if you are heading West to East along the A5 you are going the wrong b***** way?

Do'st thou mean 'ere? [WRONG]

Chris

MMMmmmmmm I though it was more like

 

Kev............

Thats the one me old mate.......

Paul

 

DOH!, It's a bit since I was down there but I did think the Caterpillar place was on the 'south' side anyway, thanks for the clarification Kev.

Chris

 

I can't make this as I have other plans, though I will be in Wales (Dolgellau) the w/e of 16/17 sept - W reg DBM 5-door with that nice little stainless bumper protector.

However, I can vouch for some great roads in mid-Wales, as well as North Wales, e.g. around the Welshpool/Dolgellau area - just steer clear of the armco, ahem.

Also FYI, the A5 between Llangollen and Snowdon has had some heavy Police chopper coverage the past 2 summers, due to them getting uptight over speeding bikers....be careful.

Cheers

Airmiles

 

Bing Bong ..... 'ello campers ..

The weather forcast is dry at the moment for Saturday ... but boy is it gonna rain on Friday ...

 

Sunny intervals on Sunday

I hope this wind disappears by the weekend other wise putting a tent up will be tricky!

Chris

 

I told ya not to have that curry.. but would ya listen ?!!!

Just dont bend over!!



J.

 

Pressume we are gonna eat Pub Food.
So we will only need food for breki, snacks, Tea & Coffee, BEER TOKENS, a fair few cans of Stella, maybe a couple of bottles of Bishops Finger or similar. Wine anyone?

Oh, and don't forget cable ties and wellies and a few industrial strength condoms for the sheep

Chris

 

Sorry guys can't make it.

I fly out to Malta from Gatwick tomorrow morning (Friday) and don't come back till Monday night. At least our customer is paying for the trip though

Have fun.

Cheers,

Chris.
