If those folks who said they were up for it can confirm they're able to make the 22nd-24th and whether they want to stay on and make a week of it I'll update the OP...

Ooh poo. Just checked the calender and I'm working that weekend, so unless it changes, I'm out

What about the following week? Looks like at least badger and myself are going to be hanging around for some more trails...

Yep , if you can make the weekend after , then we can save stuff for that as well , always an option to help those that can`t make the potential dates

Round black ones with knobbly bits.

I have Michelin Mud Country(?) on my bike because I read on the internet they were good when my IRC Claws wore out. All this different tyres for different temps and conditions, beyond me! Did find that after recent rain the single track on the Clwyds was rather claggy and the tyres clogged on some climbs and span out. You boys can talk techie stuff to me on the trails to edumacate me.

I might well be up for some more the following weekend, depends on what else comes up.

I can make that weekend.

Wolf, quick Q. When would you want to head up? On the Thursday night to our, or on Friday and pick me up? Only ask so I know whether to book a full day off on the friday or a half day?

Pete - Seeing as Wolfie is looking at staying in the area for the week, would you be lookng at returning home Sunday? If so could I ask a tiny favour?
Could you maybe drop me at the train station in your area, as I can then return to Brum quite easily and cheaply.

I'm happy anytime, If I leave here Friday morning I'll be with you lunchtimeish and we'll make easy time up there

I can also drop you back Sunday, or to a more local train station, if it's going to be a hassle getting lifts here and there?

Well I can't do the week after that weekend, as I work Saturday to Friday. But the following weekend which is the 30th & 31st is do able, I can always take the Friday off to drive over.

The week starting 23rd is half term, so I don't think I'd be Mr Popular if I took off from Mrs Maviczap to go mud plugging

So I can do 30th & 31st potentially, shes off too, so thats good

Plus as shes off to Germany with her mum, so perhaps I am owed a weekend

I'm up for a blast round Coedy or wherever is organised over a weekend, haven't been up there for a couple of years and I am itching to get back on the trails.
I prob won't be able to stop for the whole weekend though so do any of you mind if I just travel up for the day to have a blast with you on whichever date you organise?

Thanks, Ian
