Haha the flat land ?
Well let me know what you're thinking people who are coming. I'm not a mind reader, chuck your thoughts up on here or any routes you fancy doing that you've heard of. I'd like a good compromise so that everyone is pretty happy with where we go for a spin!
I've what's app ed you si, let me know what you're thinking!

 

[Ceylon]

I'd personally rather meet up for food and chat with the owners/nose at cars than go for a drive. But I may be a minority there .

 

[Spendyrx]

OK that's fine tom. Morisons salad suit you? ? what kinda food you thinking tom maccys or pub food or what?

 

[Spendyrx]

What could be a possibility would be to meet up in the east side for a chitty chat and dins then whoever is up for a spin after it we could head up towards Abergavenny, and go a40 towards brecon, do Builth, down the sugar loaf to llandovery then split off after there and all head our seperate ways? I know from Llandovery east boys can go back to brecon and head down to merthyr and the westies can go over the black mountain or the crai or even down to Llandeilo if people are coming from carmarthen way!

 

[Ceylon]

That sounds good . I'm not too fussed on the food type, as long as they do coffee and food I'm happy .

 

[Spendyrx]

Haha no worries! I'm thinking that if we shift the meeting point further east towards Newport then! We can head up the pontypool bypass or Usk bypass then and get off for Abergavenny ? is this sounding good for other people from the west?

 

[Spendyrx]

We could meet up somewhere like this? Decent car park, beers, and food if anyone wanted it! Would be nice to get the cars in there and get some beers/water (?) and have a chat!

 

[Spendyrx]

I'm sure they do coffee tom!

 

[Ceylon]

Looks good, decently sized carpark .

 

[Spendyrx]

Yeah but my only worry is that they're funny with us being there because they serve dinner between 12 and 3!

 

[deanflowers]

i live in abergavenny so thats easy for me lol. Got to find my water leak first though.


i would suggest a trip over Llangynidr moors from ebbw vale then up the beacons if you wanted a run.

Im easy with a run or just a meet up. If you need suggestions from my way let me know

 

[Spendyrx]

I love them Llangynidr moors! What an awesome view! I was delivering a few houses at the bottom of the hill going down into Crickhowell a few years back ?
Hurry on then dean ?

 

[Spendyrx]

OK I think I have a plan. What does everyone think of this?
Meet at sainsbury on the far side of newport see pic! Chit chat and plenty of nosh and a cash machine if anyone needs one!
Then hit the pontypool bypass all the way to venny and then across the a40 to brecon then onto builth.
From there, down to llandovery over the sugar loaf,
Then down to sennybridge, say bye bye and all return home?
Everyone happy with that mileage?

 

[deanflowers]

From pontypool you can cut through to blaenavon then onto brynmawr and onto the moors that way

 

[Spendyrx]

That maybe worth a look at dean ?

 

[Spendyrx]

Anyone got any more input on this? I know it's still a month away,
If the lads from over the bridge are still coming then we'll keep it at newport but...... now I've seen Dartford are holding the 40th aniversary I'm assuming more people would be more interested in going to that! If that's the case then maybe we'll move the location more into the valleys and then head up to brecon/builth over Llangynidr!
I'll start a list for people to put their names down closer to the time ?

 

[Ceylon]

I'll be coming .

 

[welshkid]

I'm keen for this, hopefully getting my FD on friday! Based in Bridgend. Will be nice to see some more FD's, didn't realise there were so many nearby!

 

[Spendyrx]

Ah really tom? Bet you change your mind closer to it ?
Seriously though. I hope you and major 'secret ninja fdocer' tom can make it! Will be nice to put a face and accent to ceylon! 'Oreyt me luvva' voice I have for you in my head ?

 

[Ceylon]

Nail, head .

I'll be there for sure .
