I was planning on getting a full tank at Ruthin (I know prices, but it's the nearest place), so if you want, everyone that needs to can meet there, it's pretty easy to find IMO.

I don't really want a repeat of last time where I was the first one to stop for fuel then played catchup. I had a decent set of rubber then (unless I go to Buckley before the ride to get the PR2 fitted back).

Ok. I've spoken to Pete's Eats and provisionally booked the whole flat for the Saturday night.

That's 12 beds. 8 in the 1 room and 2 private twins. Cost for the flat is £110. So if 10 peeps stay it's £11.

Breakfast isn't included but it's cheap enough to eat at the cafe anyway.

If there are more than two couples wishing to come then the ladies could all share the private rooms and the guys the dorm.

There are spaces available on the Friday too.

So who wants a bunk? Let me know quickly as I've only held the flat for a week.

Thanks for that Pete!!

Even though home is only a 15min ride away from Pete's Eats for me, I'll take one of the spaces. That way, if someone else later needs somewhere to stay, they can take my place, and I can sleep at home.

I'm glad you didn't mind me interfering Baph. I know how time consuming sorting out a ride like this can be.

So that's 3 down. 9 spaces left.

For anyone that wants to stay in Pete's Eats on the Friday night (7th), Llanberis will pretty much be on my way to Ponderosa on the 8th, so you can have company getting there too.

I wish people would stop thinking that they're interfering All input welcome. I have naff all to do in work at the moment, so I'll put together a day 2 route when I can, I already know some of the roads I want to include, it's just a matter of linking them together.

EDIT: Day 2's map is up. Comments/criticisms?

There's also a petrol station that you'll pass in Ruthin which is where I'll probably stop to fill up before meeting at Ponderosa.

I meant that as I'm already in Ruthin, it's no biggy for me to ride out to Queensferry / Chester / Buckley or wherever and guide in any folks that felt the need. Was in response to Baph's 'be careful' - local knowledge and all that.

Anyway, just a thought for anyone coming down that might worry about missing a turn.
