This group covers North / Mid Wales and the border lands with England. As Newport is in south Wales, you need the SouthWest Surfers group my lad.

moving your thread over there............

i'm in Newport, which Uni you going to Caerleon or Altt-yr-yn?

Caerleon is by where i work and Allt-yr-yn is where i'm doing my HNC so i know the roads.

Rideout wise is Abergavenny which is about 20-30mins depending on how hard you want to push the bike. Easy to get to from either up the bypass or through Usk from caerleon and there is also the Usk to Caerleon road which has been recently relayed which takes you to Chepstow Raceourse Burger van which is pretty good.

but i find the best way to find anywhere is to put the lid on and get out.

Do you get the feeling that the Borderers don't want you!

Doh! Never thought of Harper! (Bit dim as my lad almost went there!) Was trying to think of other Newports, but Newport S. Wales was the only one I could think of that might have a Uni.

To avoid confusing the hell out of us Border in-breeds wanna start a new thread in the The Border Patrol making reference to Harper Adams and Newport?

I move to Abergavenny on Monday - and work in Usk. 20Km of the most beautiful road in the world. You're lucky buggers living in this part of the world!

Now you know why we put up with the sheep jokes and the wet weather, you can have your big city clubs, bars. Poncey overpriced drinks. We got "Roads", great scenery, and roadside burger vans.
