Winter camping weekend in Wales

[guest7]

Last November a bunch of us met up at Llanthoney Priory for a drink and a natter. there's a basic campsite and a bar in the cellars of the old priory. That's all, but we managed to have a laugh.

So, this year I'd like to do it all again. Pencil in Saturday 24th of November for a night of sleeping rough and talking nonsense. The camping is available every night of the week so you can stay there for longer, or arrive earlier, if you like.

Mail me for details, but it's easy to find the Priory if you look for it on a map between Abergavenny and Hay on Wye.

All being well I will attend Graham you might need your camera for your Camp Stove Website I now have a Festival Of Britain 1951 Teapot and a British Empire Exhibition 1924 Lipton Brass Tea Caddy and if I can remember I will bring them with me.

Marvellous stuff... but how do you cook? Do you use one of those modern gas things? If so then I can complete your ensemble with a natty Paraffin 'Primus' Stove.

Let's face it, I've got too many and it's about time I gave some away.

Graham,

I have got a 1/2 pint Paraffin Stove but I prefer to use my Coleman Petrol Stove (always got spare fuel in the bike tank)

Jethro, you've clearly posted on the wrong topic, surely this comment belongs with the picture of you seated

Well if I cannot get a Zep ticket I will try to get a pass to come over and whinge on about how I should be in London blah blah blah.  Was really looking forward to trying to get along and then LZ announce their one and only date.  (Shortest reform ever?)

I warn you all, there is talk of getting there Friday and setting off early Saturday to Hay for a session in hired canoes, followed by lunch and a leisurely return to the site.

Cheers

Symonds Yat here they come - mind youare not supposed to go down the Yat in the hire canoes.  Saracens Head is a great pub by the Yat, and the camp site (canoeists not family) is OK too.

Sounds like a plan, and the cost will be?
Apart from the cost of beer and the camping.

I don't know! The plan was hatched in a pub 

Honestly, details, details

p.s. I'll try to find out

I mailed one of Hay's canoe hire companies and they said:

You can take two canoes (2-3 seat) or two canoes and a kayak, or other combinations.

In late November it might be worth looking at the Monmouthshire & Brecon Canal rather than the river, as river levels can be high in winter.


I haven't asked them about costs yet, but I will.
