Re: Hope it gets warmer for you lot on NW3!!
 
Anyone coming into Llangollen from the Chirk area A5, they are resurfacing the road just after the golf club as you go into Llangollen. Its a nightmare, using a convoy system have to follow a marker van, the road is like a cobbled street, slippy as hell so please beware. If you know the area in question, when approaching the guy with the stop/go sign, bear left immediately and follow the country type road all the way around the back of the tyn-y-wern pub and through housing area, dont turn off just keep going and you will bypass all the works, and drop back on to the old A5 just before the fire station in Llan, literally two mins from leaving the old A5 to getting back on it. Hope this helps!

Nice pic Mark.

But I'm puzzled. What's the white stuff?

Dandruff.

A columbian drug smugglers plane crash.

Discarded exhaust packing.:D

Hopefully we're gonna see you up at the Ponderosa at the start of NW3.:cool:

Surely you mean an Irish smuggler, as apparently that's where NW gets it's hits from!!

Has been a wee bit cold around here, but no snow my way (yet - touch wood).

As pete said, hopefully see you at Ponderosa Mark. ;)

Sorry all, im working 12 hour days friday and saturday. Hoping to catch you lot in bed though sunday morning and give you a big wake up call with my CCC, as it is now baffle free!! But seriously if anyone can tell me where they are likely to be around 10.30 onwards i can easily meet up with you all as i am off sunday! woo hoo!!!

Luckypants 05-03-08 10:34 AM

Re: Hope it gets warmer for you lot on NW3!!
 
If the last one is anything to go by, most of them will still be in their pit at 10.30! I suspect we won't be leaving LLanberis till 11, even though I'd like to get moving by 10! :smt079

If you genuinely want to join us for the ride on Sunday I'd say get to LLanberis by 10. PM me your mobile number so we can coordinate. Also post on the booking thread (sticky on this section) if you a definite for Sunday.

... and THAT'S the reason I've almost managed to get an engine sorted ... may or may not be ready for the egg run, but it WILL be ready in time for NW3 :D

(no offence Mike and thank you for the kind offer of being your "pillion biatch", but I don't make a very good pillion - hate not being in control of my own destiny, and I'm the same in a car but to a lesser extent)

What has Plowsie been telling you?

All we'll be doing is sitting quietly in a room together sipping Gin and tonic for a couple of hours then retiring to bed.

Oh alright then.

We'll be sitting in the room at Pete's Eats drinking too much beer and making a lot of noise (and possibly playing with paper aeroplanes).

That better?

C'mon James, you'll be sitting there twiddling your waxed moustache saying "Tally Ho chaps" and " Shot 3 blighters down before breakfast. Damn good show"

On the other hand, we, in the select quiet flat will be sipping Pimms, discussing each others evening attire, and retiring to bed at a civilised time. ;)

And shouting abuse out the window at the locals - or they think we were, but we were actually talking to them because one of them was rather tasty or did I have my beer goggles on...?

If I remember the "local" you were interested in, she'd fit in quite well in Royston Vasey.

Re: Hope it gets warmer for you lot on NW3!!
 
No beer goggles for me on NW3 unfortunately :( Mainly as I'm sleeping at home.

I'll be staying for some of the shenanigans though. :) I'll also be riding back via town (Bangor), so more likely to see decent 'locals' than you lot in Llanberis. :D
