Wales Camping Trip 6, anyone?
Due to other people booking dates for other things:rolleyes: this is now set for a week later than its traditional 'first weekend after the kids go back' so that makes it Sat 11/Sun 12th Sept
I have a route in my head which needs to be finalised, done most of the Day 1 recce and waiting for my new motor to finish it and do Day 2 :) I still have to confirm the date with the campsite (the usual one) ;) But meanwhile can you stick your names down ere if you can make it on the above dates? |
Would love to, but I have my son that w/e.
|
We'd be there except I reckon that weekend we're in Hawaii:D:D
Mark and Theresa |
We should be moving house around that time.......but we will be there!! :)
Hope Phoenix Nights will be open for the usual fun?? ;) |

Mmmmmmm.... tempting, very tempting. May be able to make it.

Thinking of using a different start location for this one, as it's a bugger to get out of those services at Dobbies roundabout & I think we have exhausted every route out of Shrewsbury ;)
There are a couple of roads I have been meaning to include for some time, so the route will be a bit different at the start but include some old favourites from previous ones :D Planning to use the same lunch stops as last year ;) as they seemed to cope quite nicely Boomer, if you are about, let me know if you wanna be involved in the recce etc? |
Will try to make this, can't really confirm till more near the time as we have a new member to our family in the shape of a puppy called "Riley"
I'd say at the mo it's 60-40 in favour of attending. CRAFT:D |
Let me check the ol' diary at home...
