camping in brecon june/july
 

im thinking of planning a weekend camping



basic plan would be camp at rhyader, which is pretty central for BP, midlanders, taffia, mofos, etc

turn up friday few beers
sat ride out, a version of the TT
sat night more beer
sunday recover from hangover/ go to the beach / swimming in the river

i will sort the route out, but could probably do with a bit of help sorting out the campsite

anyone intrested........ im just after a rough idea of how many


the TT is a great route, and this would give you the oppertunity to do it, and not have to get up at stupid o'clock to make the start, plus you can relax after the ride with a few beers............ what more could you possible want?

sounds gravy BB :D

Re: camping in brecon june/july
 

i would of suggested the Camping field in Talybont but it's being used for the upgrades of the Treatment works. Sounds grand tho.

Re: camping in brecon june/july
 

sounds good funds permitting

Re: camping in brecon june/july
 

Wyeside in Rhayader popular with bikers. Right on Wye, and about 5 mins to the town for the many pubs / chippie / takeaway / Coop etc. Thats the advantage fopr a bike weekend, you are not in the sticks.
So kind of middle of your routes I guess, or take a lovely run over to Aber.
You cant book, gets busy but never full. Been there a good few times with Advrider crowd.

Re: camping in brecon june/july
 

thank you, i will look into that,

i guess they dont mind if you stay up late drinking and making a bit of noise>?

how far is the nearest pub (walking)
and what do you normaly do for food? is there anywher on site?

Re: camping in brecon june/july
 

You should never be up late and noisy on a public campsite. Fine until 10.30 I'd say then reasonable behaviour.

5 mins max to pub

No food, 5 mins to pub, chippy, shops.

Re: camping in brecon june/july
 

Sounds good Hovis - let us know the details when sorted.

Re: camping in brecon june/july
 

iindeed........ i will probably leave a bit of a gap from yours, as to give peeps to save a bit of cash, but it wont be that expensive

Re: camping in brecon june/july
 

I'll go if there are a few token females. A weekend of male bonding is too gay for me.

Re: camping in brecon june/july
 

Why not try Talybont Farm camp site( not quite Brecon but close), basic facilities but good value & close to the pubs in Talybont, good food real ale no fast food though

Re: camping in brecon june/july
 

Where to in Talybont is it? I know talybont pretty well and only camp site i know of is by the water works which is currently full of diggers.

Re: camping in brecon june/july
 

I would love to go if my life is sorted out

Re: camping in brecon june/july
 

the camp site is at grid SO114227.
or go past the Star next turning on the right
the camp site you are thinking of if i am right is up by the reservoir. have used that one quite alot in past years, but as you say its now full of diggers, pity

Re: camping in brecon june/july
 

i'll do the TT again no doubt - i'll give the camping a miss though - that won't go down well at home if the kids aren't going

Re: camping in brecon june/july
 

I know it's before you go over the draw bridge. Yeah it's a shame but before they started work they had 1 hour's worth of protection before the water down to newport was not treated. Now they have 4-8 hours instead.

But the road around the res up to the A465 is a beauty of a road, as long as hovis isn't pushing his seat cowl back down all the time.

Re: camping in brecon june/july
 

Wyeside in Rhayader looks good,

Re: camping in brecon june/july

Re: camping in brecon june/july
 

probably july.....

i will do a poll. so if you want to throw some dates at me, crack on.

Re: camping in brecon june/july
 

well, whatever dates i will have to call in sick so dont bother me! i do have august free though!

Re: camping in brecon june/july
 

hmmmm
may is a bit busy

the other SW camping trip has yet to be decided on the date its looking like 6-7 june, and i wanted to give a bit of a gap, to give peeps chance to sort them selves out 20-21 june could be a on, but thats fathers day, i cant do 27-28 june

so july is looking about the best option,

the AR is 1st week of august.

Re: camping in brecon june/july
 

Oooo will keep an eye on this, there's every chance it may tie in with my graduation (if I get that far....) if it's in July!

Re: camping in brecon june/july
 

No you can't! ;)

Me and drew may be out then if its June/July.... bit busy in both..... however if we can make it we will! :D

Re: camping in brecon june/july
 

Liz and I could be up for this, but it depends when it is.

Hovis - pick dates to suit yourself after all you're doing the hard bit.

Re: camping in brecon june/july
 

im thinking 10-11-12 july............................?????????

i i may do a poll

for the first 3 weekends in july, as im free, if i manage to sort out the shifts in work

Re: camping in brecon june/july
 

gid rides like a girl

and i will wear my bikini if that helps

Re: camping in brecon june/july
 

:cool:

Re: camping in brecon june/july
 

Would be interested Hovis. Will have bags of spare time around July. Only thing stopping me would be money implications.

Re: camping in brecon june/july

Re: camping in brecon june/july
 

Share one with Hovis . . . .if you dare!

Re: camping in brecon june/july
 

I'll be up for this as long as it doesn't clash with my track day addiction!

Re: camping in brecon june/july

Re: camping in brecon june/july
 

Always!!

Re: camping in brecon june/july

the calender is getting busy, so im thinking one of the first 3 weekends in july.

Re: camping in brecon june/july
 

Hovis,just book it.
look what happened on the Devon weekend.
We ended up booking the camp before the vote was up...lol

Re: camping in brecon june/july
 

well im waiting to hear about sundays off in work, so i dont want to commit just yet, but its going to be in july, i will do a poll, to see if there is anoutright winner, but it wont be up for long,

Re: camping in brecon june/july
 

Hope you guys have a blast. Will be thinking of you whilst sat on a beach with a mojito! X

Re: camping in brecon june/july
 

Hovis just book it for which weekend suits you, if you pick a weekend when you work late on the Sunday. Then worse case your an hour or two late for work! No change there then ;-)

Re: camping in brecon june/july
 

tell us where you are going and we may join you instead of a weekend in wales.

Re: camping in brecon june/july
 

You won't be joining our honeymoon!!!!! Hell no!!!!
