I don't suppose you could get a lift from the airforce and parachute into Cwmdu with a bike ? That would be impressive, though you would have to be riding a Brockhouse Welbike which would be a challenge to ride back, that and of course it is a two stroke rather than a Thumper.

Tunnel was great for a bike, quick and smoothly organised, hope it goes well and see you in Cwmdu.

I just booked the channel crossing for tomorrow (Thursday) . Not a ferry this time, but the Tunnel. First time. On the other side, I jumped this morning out of a plane. First time too. Can´t be much different. Now I have to pack. That´s just me. Just in time. I cannot start to pack any sooner, for some reason. And now I have to figure out how I pack all the stuff I´m used to pack on a sidecar on a small thumper.

No worries....

Fit a side car and jump out of a plane with it.....plenty of space for luggage and easier than the crossing !

See you there

Hi Mark

Sorry this is last minute, but is there still space for another tent. I am trying to get time off work and I will know Friday whether I am able to make it to the rally,
in which case, if they are still available can I please register for breakfasts on Sat & Sun and evening meal on Friday & Saturday night. I will confirm on Friday if i can make it or not.
Thank you.

Hello Cliff, come along if you can make it, there will be food available.

Just don't mix your packs up, it'll be funny arriving at the rally with a parachute but not so funny watching your tent shoot past your face at 1000 feet.

Tony already on his way via this afternoons ferry from Dublin. He is meeting up with Tim in Beddgelert this evening. Chris and myself are on the overnight ferry from Belfast to Liverpool. Arriving at 6.30am, then down through Wales to give you all the pleasure of our company.

I hope you are not bringing that rain from last year with you.

I'll try to get to the site before you get there but if I don't(and I go somewhere else instead) drive past the Inn 50 yards, turn left onto a track then left again into the field.

Mark

Richard · « **Reply #82 on:** July 11, 2013, 02:55:15 PM »

Is that turning left if coming from Talley, or turning left if coming from Abergorlech ?

Is the field opposite the pub or behind it ?

I may get their very early, but its virtually local for me.

Richard

Hello Mark,

Looked up the site on the Googley Mappy Gizmo Thingy. Suppose I better say how much we'll all miss Boyd not being at the rally.

(Hope that sounds as though I mean it!)

Ron.

Yes, I'm sure we'll miss Boyd, but I won't miss the "full moon over Llanberis" this year

Field is opposite the pub, over the stream.

Hi Mark

Just to confirm, time off work arranged, will be there later today. Hope every body has a safe and enjoyable ride - wow, check out that big round orange thing in the sky - perfect biking weather!

Cheers

Cliff

Just got to put on a new tyre, pack and go. See you there.

Knowing that most of you will be on route by now, and at some point soon downing a few beers, then talking b0ll0cks till the small hours, and.... :(and...... :(I won't be there!!!!!

Ramadan is in full swing here so no bars are open and I only have my limited supply in the fridge to last me until we go to Oz in August.

Genuinely gutted that I'm not there this year but maybe next time, and take in the German Rally at the same time.

Hope it all goes well and everyone gets there and back safely.
