Title: Cwmdu 'Mud or Dust' event 13th-14th September
Post by: Mark on August 16, 2014, 11:32:35 AM
For those that know Cwmdu, Pete puts on a small charity event which incorporates a bike show on the Saturday morning and a few bands in a marquee in the evening. A small number of us camp over from the Friday night and enjoy a quiet night in the pub before the more hectic Saturday, everyone welcome.

Hi Mark
It's a great site and just down the road. I'll get down sometime over the weekend - hopefully for the Friday and Saturday !
Hope you're recovering well - I assume that your injuries aren't affecting your drinking abilities
Cheers

Ambidextrous drinking.
Let me think about that.
Just the one mouth but - 2 arms - 2 hands - 2 drinks - a recipe for disaster. Lucky you only broke your shoulder !

Wasn't sure if I was going to make this one, but have been given a late pass.

I'll be down late Friday evening after work; hopefully before the pub shuts. (No, I'm not planning on finding some caches on the way, Mark!).

Hey Steve. thanks mate, I am up for the exotic food on Friday evening. What ingredients do you want me to bring along. Exotic should go down well when mixed with the local ale. Cheers, Cliff

What a lovely day out.  So civilised.

Nice mix of bikes including a Cafe Commando, two T140 Triumphs, a 3C Laverda, Morini 500, Norton Wankel, SD Darmahj Ducati, Gold Stars, Thruxton and more Harleys and modern era Triumphs than than I could count.

Fair few Thumperistas in residence too.  Nice to catch up.

Dalbys knees appear to be working and Mark was walking with no more than his usual slight list.

Thanks, Cwmdu.

Brilliant weekend in good company. Pete and Carol and thier helpers worked very hard to make a successful event, I hope they made some good money for the charity. Weather was brilliant all weekend if as little cold in the wind or riding the bike.

PS I did manage to find my bike key....................in the bottom of my sleeping bag....................NO I don't know how! :o

Pete if you read this a big thanks from me for a really good event.

Cheers Steve, I'll pass on your comments. I know over £2000 was raised, I'll get the final figure as soon as all donations are in.
Glad you found your key. ::)
