http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=140433
Not sure how many are planning to attend, but I'm going to be there, will either go up the the A34/M4 or through the A roads past Salisbury etc
Perhaps we could have a bit of organisation regarding who's going...

I already have the day off so definitely going.
I note that the meeting point at the Esso garage is where I met Hovis for the first time!

PS: not sure whether I'll go to the meeting point or just straight to the church, as it is literally up the street from me.

Righto, will see you at the station then...

Rich - you're welcome to meet up at my place, have a cuppa and then meet the rest of the mob that are on bikes at the service station. PM if you want to do that - Fizz is getting here circa 10:00am to leave mine at 10:50am.

im attending but in the car
8 & 9 The 24_7's - looking for accomm tues night, close to destination, if anyone knows of any or has floor space?
House is a tip at the moment - having windows renovated and two bedrooms are out of action.
I'd like to help but you would be uncomfortable I'm afraid. Mrs Jabba just shook her head sadly at the thought :-(
Really sorry - would have been fine at any other time :-(
Wideboy and everyone else, my above reply to TWR/Rich applies to anyone else travelling up on the day.
"You're welcome to meet up at my place, have a cuppa and then meet the rest of the mob that are on bikes at the service station. PM if you want to do that - Fizz is getting here circa 10:00am to leave mine at 10:50am."
It would make sense to minimise the number of cars we take. I live less than 10 mins from the Service Stations rendezvous.
PM me for address/directions.
All welcome :thumbsup:

Thanks Jabba, I would like to do that. Can you PM me your address?
Knowing a little the parking issues at Crematorium (if indeed we are going there, I don't know) car sharing would make some sense.

Totally missed this tragic news, thanks Stretchie for the heads up.
Unfortunately I am in Derby all next week on a training course and will be unable to attend.
My thoughts are with his family and all you guys, as bikes and bikers were his world.

Gutted that i cant be there as i just started a new job and noone can miss any training :(
I did a quick run over the route yesterday, and thought I had better post it in case anyone is late and misses the group.
From the petrol station head north along the A470 (signposted Merthyr Tydfil) for approx 2.5 miles.
Leave A470 and follow signs for Caerphilly along the A468 for 0.3 miles.
At the traffic lights turn left (we can regroup here if possible).
Follow straight on thought the housing estate for 220 yds and turn right.
Continue up the steep hill. At the next two junction turns left. At the next junction continue straight on.
You can't miss the church its a traditional type with tower and Lytch gate, the pub car park is on the left before the church.
The roads are extremely gravelly and narrow (very narrow in places).
There are also two poorly maintained cattle grids to cross and lots of sheep.
See you on Wednesday.
It looks like i might be heading down in the car too so there will be space if any one wanting it. - I'm on the move tomorrow so don't pm me - pm dizzy or kate Moss they have my mobi number

Don't forget that it's open house for those in cars for a cuppa/pee stop. PM me for address/phone numbers if you haven't already done so. Good chance to minimise the number of cars we take :thumbsup:

Yeah but this is from Coryton, if you go straight through those lights (the ones at the bottom of the hill next to the Murco services, right?) and then left at the next roundabout you go through Abertridwr and only have a little bit of lanes before the church (unless I'm reading the map wrong, which I don't think I am), Mogs is saying go up Hendredenny Dr and then through Groeswen which takes you through the lanes a lot more.
Not trying to second guess, just curious. Doesn't matter really.

I think the simplist route has been taken rather then the shortest.
I agree there are easier ways, but, the one Drew has done is simplist. We don't need lost Org-ers, lol
