I shall be having a word with my kids

5 cars looks like a decent turnout for a daytime meet on what looks like a cold (well, it is here), dreary day :y
Can we put names to faces?
-
There's (L - R) Plomien, Turk, me, Dan282 and you all know Seth :y
Oh, and in both car pics there's Turk's, mine, Plomien's, Dan282's and Seth's
Great to meet you all :y
-
oops! forgot to put names up, cheers Jonny
Temp was about 7-10'C as we went up and down the valleys it also had a short blast of hail whilst we were at the meeting point
-
nice to see people come together and enjoy.. and nice pictures, thanks for sharing :y

looked good :y
-
Well done - given the beautiful weather. ;D
Great to put faces on the names. 8) :y

Sincere thanks to everyone who came along today.
Whilst the weather was 'as predicted' it failed to dampen the OOF spirit, and the venue certainly lived up to our expectations. As promised, Heather and her staff had reserved a complete car park enclave for our little party, and the cafeteria kept us suitably nourished with very reasonably-priced fare. Ever since my original enquiry with the Miners Museum, they went out of their way to accommodate our needs.
I'll be speaking to her tomorrow, and'll pass on our appreciation.
The 'Road Run' went well, especially the spirited dash up along the Vale of Neath to the canal basin at Resolven. Whilst here, everyone present agreed that a similar future gathering should be investigated - possibly an overnight jobbie during Spring/early Summer 2012.
So, before going our separate ways, we took a look at this campsite:
http://www.ynysarwedcampsite.co.uk/FarmHome.htm
Whilst it's no doubt a suitable location, we now have sufficient breathing space to come forward, if necessary, with alternative ideas/suggestions, so 'watch this space' .......
Thanks again to everyone who supported the meet - it was great to put names faces to faces names! ;D

Thanks for organising it Seth, it was my first meet and it was nice to talk to like-minded people - it felt strange to be talking about the forum to other people actually, Mrs Cool has no interest whatsoever so I never get to discuss it with anyone. The weather might have been a bit better but what do you expect of Wales in December? ;)
Good to have a little cruise together too - great stuff :y
Don't know what happened to Dan though - he turned off at Penderyn :-\

Glad that you enjoyed the day Jon! ;)
Dan probably went over the Beacons to Brecon, then via Hay-on-Wye to Hereford, and joined the A49 there.

Great day today guys. Nice to meet everyone. Will get my pictures up in a bit. Covered 252 miles on half a tank. Given the hilly terrain its not bad at all :y

Took a few pics going through the Brecon Beacons on the way back. Like an Idiot i parked too far on the grass and couldnt reverse off as it was just wheel spinning on the mud. Rear Wheel Drive eh ;D

I sound like one of them getting stuck in the mud ;D. Amazing scenery especially through the higher peaks.

Darned camera must have taken a shot as I was wiping the rain drops off. ::)

A likely story my Sospan buddy ::)
Do I sense a post-count 'problem' in the offing? ;D
-
I really wish I could have made this meet, but having to pay for the replacement of both front to back brake pipes cleaned me out. :(
Great photo's, and some stunning scenery from Dan on the way back. It would have been good to get two of us from the Midlands down there! :y
I attended the meet in North Wales and this was going to be the icing on the cake.... North and South Wales just to attend a meet ;D
Regarding the campsite, that could be worth a try, and certainly somewhere different though will struggle with the sucess of Newent :'(
-
we had discussions of a possible meet in the spring so you might make that one
-
think campsite will be out the window tbh it clearly states well behaved groups im sure we have some on here that this will apply to ;D ;D ;D ;D

Quite possibly Si; though judging by the enthusiasm and fun that we had earlier today, another modest affair certainly wouldn't go amiss, especially as we're looking at the Spring/early Summer period.
Food for thought eh ............. 8)
