Elan valley sounds like a good idea.
Should be able to make either weekend ( but Sundays only i.e. 20th or 27th )

Looking forward to it... Depending on when it is, Karen may or may not be able to attend - And if she does, she may be seriously hung-over.

Looking forward to Fizz showing you all his land-based aircraft carrier.

I need cheering up - There I was day dreaming about boost controllers and fuelling computers, but instead I'm going to need the best part of £500 for servicing and tyres in a couple of months!!

Oh yeah - I'm getting married, too.

Last time I went near Aberystwyth, Karen and I visited Devil's Bridge. Just as we got to the bottom of the valley, the heavens opened up BIG TIME!

We had to climb up steep steps that had become fast flowing streams.

When we got into the car, I stripped off to the waist, and continued to drive home in the same fashion.

You should have seen the looks we got as people drove past us, they thought I was stark-b*ll*ck-naked.

Shame Karen didn't do the same!

May I suggest a slight detour on the route and instead of going to Aberystwyth, go up the road to Borth instead?

Depends if you want "Kiss me Quick" hats, or deserted beaches?

Saves going into a busy town...

Ceri - It'll be a good chance for me to have a look at the Apexi gubbins you've got installed in your car.

Can't wait.

Question

I'm in the mood for heading South for a change (and the 200m+ round trips before any "DRIVE" is doing my head in ), so just two small questions.
Where's Elan Valley, and whereabouts in Elan Valley?
and What time?
Cheers,
Martin.

James (JCM7611) - Sorry to hear about your uncle.

Yeah, a meet at the Poacher's sounds good, before travelling to Hereford. Just look out for low flying jets attempting landings on Fizz's boot!
