Any one up for one ?

any ideas on a date/location, Would be nice to see a few heads from here

Jimbob · « **Reply #1 on:** 17 April 2008, 14:03:22 »

May well be, depending when and where

JonArgraig · « **Reply #2 on:** 17 April 2008, 14:15:26 »

Some time in May/June would be good, though I've got the races in Chester early May.

Llandudno could be a good place to meet up or Abber falls

vauxsull · « **Reply #3 on:** 17 April 2008, 19:55:36 »

Llanberis, Betwys coed, Conwy perhaps?

Jimbob · « **Reply #4 on:** 17 April 2008, 20:07:20 »

Ponderosa Cafe? Top of the Horse Shoe Pass near Llangollen?

Trying to think of somewhere easy & free to park

vauxsull · « **Reply #5 on:** 17 April 2008, 20:10:12 »

sounds good to me but need to get there before the motorcycleists
get there though

Tony H · « **Reply #6 on:** 17 April 2008, 20:35:09 »

vauxsull · « **Reply #7 on:** 17 April 2008, 21:16:07 »

JonArgraig · « **Reply #8 on:** 17 April 2008, 23:28:48 »

Well I'll do some scouting tomorrow, and come back with some ideas

Elite Pete · « **Reply #9 on:** 18 April 2008, 10:25:24 »

Depends when, but I should be OK for a trip to the Principality

Tab · « **Reply #10 on:** 18 April 2008, 11:40:53 »

Would this be a day meet or longer?

JonArgraig · « **Reply #16 on:** 18 April 2008, 21:09:32 »

I dont know, could make a weekender of it if we make it later in the year, but if some thing is planed for next month then it would be a day long job.

Unless some one else local has a bright idea

rad cap · « **Reply #17 on:** 24 April 2008, 20:14:41 »

lake bala has a large car park and a cafe, ? good roads etc , then we can invade debs gaff , ? im up for it

Ahaaaa yes Bala Lake i like it, sounds good......

prestigesec · « **Reply #19 on:** 25 April 2008, 19:37:41 »

Any dates on meet yet?

amigov6 · « **Reply #20 on:** 29 April 2008, 18:31:22 »

Just a thought but could it be combined with the Newent meet?

speakingclock · « **Reply #21 on:** 05 May 2008, 23:25:09 »

Ponderosa looks good with lots of space and free parking at the right time

Just some ideas chaps....

on a good day, the top of Mynnyth Rhiw at the end of the Lleyn is stunning... and usually drivable over in a miggy... (although you're strictly not supposed to... I do it every year when i go back to visit... ) there's a free car park just off the road , halfway up it... for the faint-hearted

HOWEVER , it needs to be a dry sunny day.... attempting it on any other kind of day is almost certain Miggy-cide

Isn't there a "decommissioning visitor centre" centre at Trawsfynydd now??? that might be worth a look...

Also, there used to be a really nice little cafe along the sea front at Llanfairfechan.....

and Llyn Geirionydd

has a really nice picnic area.... and plenty of parking...

or there's Welsh heritage centre at the bottom of Yr-eifl

(and the sizeable car park at the top... )

or there's the McD's at the A5/A483 junction...

JonArgraig · « **Reply #23 on:** 07 May 2008, 13:35:07 »

Well I'm up for when ever and where ever TBH

Llyn Geirionydd
....

One of my favourite places Max......but can be tricky to find (for non-locals) and those single-track lanes can be a nightmare, even on a good-day.

EDIT: I keep forgetting about Sat-Nav!

rad cap · « **Reply #25 on:** 12 May 2008, 00:09:48 »

i plan to raid the land of the sheep may bank holl weekend, will be nr raf valley in my picky wagon if all goes well , lets do a local beach area nr there, other wise this meet will never happen,

Debs. · « **Reply #26 on:** 13 May 2008, 08:58:46 »

I`m still SORN at the mo.

....but when I have some pennies for the RFL and I`m back on the road; I`ll do my best to come along wherever it`s held.

Debs. · « **Reply #27 on:** 05 July 2008, 22:09:16 »

I`m considering proposing a late-summer Miggy meet/workshop/BBQ at Deb`s scenic, Welsh-mountain retreat.

....`before making any firm plans; I`d like to gauge prospective numbers likely to attend?

Darth Loo-knee · « **Reply #28 on:** 05 July 2008, 22:58:04 »

I would like to come over Debs are you sure you have enough room

Cav9_4 · « **Reply #29 on:** 05 July 2008, 23:08:55 »

I'd be up for it too

albitz · « **Reply #30 on:** 05 July 2008, 23:21:13 »

love to ,but it is a bit far,although some days i go out for a ride on the bike and end up going further than i had planned.

Andy B · « **Reply #31 on:** 06 July 2008, 13:40:53 »

We'd love to come, room for a caravan please

. We're away for the last 2 weeks of August so any time other than then!

Right, that`s one Pikey-pitch provisionally booked!

There`s enough accessible, level and flat grass in my large (but mostly-sloping) garden for three wagons with a 2x 16A RCD-protected sockets close-by.....`though for maneouvering/positioning vans we could use my Landy if necessary.
I`d say; there`d be room for a dozen (plus) visiting Miggies close to the house (on/next-to the garden driveway)....and an additional 17 acres of green-parking for cars and caravans in the field right outside the garden`s cattle grid.

BTW: There`s also a vacant, newish log-cabin, (with power and lights) available up the hill (in the garden): but anyone wishing to overnight in that would need to bring a bed-roll/inflatable-bed and bedding.

`Keep the names coming!

Count Mrs. KW and I in, depending on the date, and tell the dogs to prepare to be pampered when she sees them.

I think I'd prefer wet welsh Mountains than a wet day in the town/city.

shyboy · « **Reply #48 on:** 17 July 2008, 11:44:35 »

Just spotted this Debs. I'd definitely be interested in bringing my caravan if it comes off.
Do you need any planning permission for a large gathering?

Weeks of almost daily heavy-rain have turned my garden and fields into a boggy-mire; making it impossible to have cars on them.......as soon as any 'Indian Summer' shows up, and the ground dries, we can have a meet.

.......Bloody weather!!!!!!

JonArgraig · « **Reply #55 on:** 28 October 2008, 11:37:49 »

A few of us are doing the "Evo Triangle" this Sunday if any OOF's fancy it let me know

gstylebaby · « **Reply #56 on:** 28 October 2008, 18:43:48 »

Will keep my eye on this and hope i can make it depending on when.....I always seem to working or otherwise engaged.

I`m still planning on hosting a Deb`s Gaff OOF meet: It`ll now be in the early-Spring; as soon as the Welsh mountain weather changes for the better.

The family-doggies and I are really looking forward to welcoming our OOF friends.
