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

Would this be a day meet or longer?
Title: Re: North Wales Meet ???
Post by: JonArgraig 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  :y

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 :D

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...

Post by: JonArgraig on 07 May 2008, 13:35:07
Well I'm up for when ever and where ever TBH

Llyn Geirionydd
....

 :D 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!  :-[

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. :y
Title: Re: North Wales Meet ???
Post by: Debs. 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?  :y

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

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! :y
