Dragon Rally 07

[guest7]

Anyone got any plans for the next Dragon?

I think it unlikley that we will be heading off to the Jack Frost again on the Friday :-)

I might be making it a three day event again and leaving Cardiff on the thursday. Rhayader was a good Thursday stopover 2 years ago, with Karaoke and a meat raffle featuring in the evening's silly entertainments. I reckon I will do that again.

Friday night in Betws is on teh cards, but if the rally is in Anglesey again then a more northerly stopover might be better.

Any thoughts?

Oh yes, we had a chat in the pub last week and we agreed that a black tie dress code would be good for the Saturday night... time to brush off the dinner jacket :-)

All being well I will be going yet again but staying in Betws for the Friday night.re dinner jackets I went one time with a DJ bow tie etc and was asked in the pub what bike I had come on when I replied a Norton Big 4 the questioner after a while said that Norton never made a 4 cyclinder bike.

Think I'll give it a miss this time (been there, done that), I'll save my limited brownie points for a new adventure. Have a hoot chaps, and lots of piccies please :-)

I was thinking that Llanberis might make a good alternative to Bettws this year. That said I am yet to catch up with the Thumperclub before the Dragon yet.

There should be a group of us heading down from Nottingham.I turn 40 just after the Dragon so have used this as an excuse to travel down Friday,probably staying in Betws,rally Saturday,return home either Sunday or Monday.I may even have a thumper by then:-)

[guest7]

So it looks like it's going to be Betws on friday then.

I suppose I'd better book a B&B... it will never be that hotel at Pentrefoelas again, although to be fair it was cheap and breakfast was good. The manager was an arse though and his attitude stank.

Better breakfasts by far in Llanberis, we could even stay at Petes Eats.  Dirt cheap climbing bunkhouse.

[guest7]

Hmmmm... new venue, tempting. I

Any details on the bunkhouse?

Any details on the bunkhouse?

Er... forget what I said, I found this: http://www.petes-eats.co.uk/

Pete's Eats looks like a laff, I'm up for that if anyone else is.

It's looking like a crowd of us are doing Rhayader on the Thursday too. I suspect we will be booking the Liverpool House B&B again, although for the hardier souls the Wyeside campsite will be open (B&B it is then).

Woohoo! the winter rally season is nearly upon us :-)

[Steffan]

I have booked three bunks (Lampeter and Coast brigade) so far at Pete's for the 9th as per the CMC site. Looks like we're on Anglesea again!!

Steffan

[guest7]

Steff, if you're already booking places could you add me to the list too?

Do you need a deposit?

Cheers
GC

[Steffan]

Done, my scots mate says he can't come so you can have his place and if he changes his mind then we can sort him out later. BTW you coming this Sat or are you coming Fri?

Steffan

[guest7]

Thanks for sorting the bunkhouse out, I spoke to Simon Morgan and he says he wants to do Llanberis too, should he contact them himself?

I'll be there early Saturday morning, can't make Friday because wifey has once again booked in some guests without consulting me :-(

[guest18]

Probably not for me this year :-/ I reckon I might slide off though and recce a route for the Scottish run ;-))

So at least I'll be out on the bike :-)
