Welsh Weekend Away - Accomodation/Itinery

Welcome everyone who is making our first weekend `breeze` away to deepest darkest Wales!


Accomodation:
We shall be staying right in the heart of Wales in Machynlleth (extra points for its pronouncing it correctly) in the Craig Y Deri Bunkhouse.

www.madianquads.co.uk/craigderi.htm

We are booked in for 3 nights from Friday onwards.
There are 3 rooms in the bunkhouse (so ladies take some pyjamas).
I do not mind how we share the rooms but I may suggest splitting up the couples and having a Boys/Girls Dorm!
It is self-catering although there is a local cafe for breakfast, etc.
Linen, etc is inclusive in the price, but you may wish to take a sleeping bag.

On the day we may put some money in a kitty for breakfast but in the evenings there are plenty of good places for grub, including a great chippy!



Itinery:
We don`t have to ride on Friday Day 1 but if we do we can ride either Mach 1 or Mach 2 trails from the town.

Sat Day 2 Cli-Max Trail & Mach 3. am Cli-Max pm Mach 3
*Cli-Max is a short ride with a fast technical descent at the end. Mach 3 is `raw` and three times its distance. 26m*

Sun Day 3 DRIVE TO: Nant-y-Arian trails (Choice of 2/3 rides with lunch stop)
*Lots of variety in Nant. Bit like a mini Scotland.*

Mon Day 4 DRIVE TO: Coed-y-Brenin Trawllch Trail
*Who knows!*

We may wish to try a different trail on Monday dependant on people commitments. ie Brechfa, Penmaccho.


Here`s to a fab weekend! Any questions give me a bell or see me at the pub Club Night, Tuesday.

Cheers!

Gav,

Looking forward to the weekend. Have some questions which I'd be grateful if you could respond

The URL link that you have posted does not work

I am planning on travelling from Rhyl (parents house) and meeting up with the group on Saturday morning, can you confirm the approximate time that you will be leaving for the ride? I will be staying on Saturday & Sunday night, so will need a "bunk".

Can you send me a text to 07881 922067 so that I have your mobile phone number.

Does the "bunk house" have any form of heating?

Cheers

Paul

I got the link to work someone spelt it wrong

I think I will be up for riding Friday as the wind forcast is looking pants
but on the bright side there isn't any rain forecast either

first dibs on the double bed for me and Debs at the accomodation. sorry, cant do bunks. thanks all

Not even if your on top Perky ?

I plan to be there mid afternoon Friday and I'm up for riding, could do Mach 1 or 2. Who's riding? Are we meeting in Machynlleth? what time?
Perky, you and Debs riding or going to bed early

Graham

Looking at the forcast today I will be riding everyday.
What time are we starting in the mornings?

I should be there in the morning, leaving home very early to miss traffic going to try and get there before all the caravans

I have to drive past Mach first though as I have to drop a windsurf board off for a friend in Borth just down the road(someone buying a new board aways kills the wind).

Hi Graham

Me(perky) and Debs(pinky) are hoping to get there late morning, say 11am, and will be most definatley up for hacking-up Mach 1 & 2 trails.

Give me a buzz when you get there: jamie 07766 665802
