Right, I gotta bugger off and get ready for my first driving lesson...
I'm up for this but it would have to be in June or July. Any idea of the cost per night, how many nights we're stopping etc etc

Right, Ive had a quick word with some people.... and it looks like we have no real problems with booking this...

We need a minimum of 8 people to do this...

The only hard part is, as its owned by my old school.. they have certain rules on who can book and use the place.. mainly Welsh speakers... so slight problem there.. which is easily gotten round.. me and my mate speak Welsh... and it will be his dad that opens the place for us anyway as he has keys to the place
If I remembr correctly, his parents have offered to come along as well, and do some cooking for us. There is also a local pub that we can bimble to as well... we arent allowed to **** off the locals either so no revving engines at silly o'clock as the entire valley would hear it

Now to the best part.... cost.... I will try and re-confirm.. as it sounds stupidly low... but about £4 per night too expensive for you lot ??

plan would be, get there on a friday afternoon/evening... ride the saturday, eat/drink/bbq etc in the evening.. recover sunday morning(ish) bimble off home...

all we need to do now, is agree on a date....

Right, bringing this subject back from the almost dead.....

I have been back down there, still got a few questions to ask the peeps who will be doing the booking for us...

We need a minimum of 8 people to book this place, and its £4 per person per night... which gets you heating, warm water, electricity, a roof over your head... and cooking space etc.... I dont know the maximum amount of people it will hold, but I 'think' it may be up to 15....

Location... a few miles out from Llandovery along the A40... the place itself is an old school.. local population... hardly anyone.. a few farmers.. and thats it... this is in the middle of preverbial no where.... its just off an unclassified road... only traffic you will meet along it are likely to be tractors and farmers etc.... and as its only a few miles off the A40.. that means we will be within some of the best biking roads in Wales.... plenty of directions to choose from and get lost!

as for what will be possibly done?..... arrive on friday evening/night... sleep over... Saturday.. bimble around on bikes.. routes to be determined as we make them up... saturday evening.. get back and have a few beers/BBQ etc.... my mates parents have possibly volunteered to help with getting some beer/food stuffs there..... eventualy get to sleep saturday.. sleep sunday morning off.... and then pootle back off homeward bound...

date to do this? possibly early to mid June OK with people?? I need to know whos interested before I even consider booking this.... as said, I need a minimum of 8 DEFINATE people to book this.. hopefully we can fully book this one up...

Who's interested?

Sounds tempting, will need to check dates with work, a busy time of year..... when pondering a job change I'll have to start saving up my pennies n all.

My life is empty so any date is suitable at the moment.
