Turbocharger Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 I certainly don't remember it being cheap, but I do remember them refusing Tom a glass of water when he walked in after his 4 hour drive, because they hadn't taken any money from him earlier in the evening. Never mind the other 20 of us sat there, then? Last time we had an excellent meal here at Tafarn-y-Garreg, 10 mins walk from the Castle and highly recommended too but probably not that cheap either!

honitonhobbit Posted November 14, 2005 Author Share Posted November 14, 2005 I shall chow down in the bar at the castle on Friday - some of that chicken curry hopefully Saturday I have no idea what is happening but I believe the Nurses Common Room will see some action later! Edited to say: http://www.j33p.org/board.cfm?ID=2253 This looks to be the order of the day for Saturday night. Being on a tight budgie I will most likely grab a take away and some beer and doss in the Common room all night. The Abercrave is pricey and I am skint as a skint person who lives down skint lane in Skintville, Skint County, Miss. Richard - help is always good. Help being people who are gullible enough to drive some of the maxi trial so I can see what is what. I also want to drive a section I 'found' last time which may be a bit interesting after all this rain... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Brock Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Me and the wife will be down there on Friday Morning, so I'll come and help set up.(wife going ghost hunting !!!! )and staying warm in the castle instead of getting cold and un-doubtubly wet ! If anyone else wants my number so we can all meet up PM me Dave, I'll give you a ring on Friday when we get there if not earlier in the week. Phone No still the same ? Was planning on eating in the Castle on Friday but not sure about Saturday yet, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Mornin' all B) We're heading up afternoon of Friday and probably setting up/fixing what we broke (already) Friday night... will see you all Saturday morning and really like the sound of cheap takeaway in the Common Room on Saturday night as I too am from the same town as Mr Lovejoy That's if they'll let us common camping people in Bertha is now offically being 'bodged'... Dan changed his mind last weekend and despite working hard on her now wants to change the design of the whole back end (again ), so expect lots of rivets and chequerplate and next time you see her she'll look beautiful (I'm trying hard not to say 'I told you so ). Lookin' forward to it and getting very over excited again Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of them was called'Ludicrous' and was half driven by one vehicle and that took him a couple of hours. the other was a bit of a pig but even Les drove it with no worries or breakage. This weekends is going to be much easier and much wetter - oh and much longer. It will contain winching sections. Howvere I am moving away from the area we used last time as it is suicidal in the wet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pugwash Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 I still haven't worked out what time i will be coming up. I will be up by fri night at the latest- if i can make it any earlier then i will happily give you all a hand setting up- doing whatever really. looking forward to it- just so long as a certain "unmentionable" can get a V8 back into the rangie and running before this weekend (actually before wednesday- i don't really want to be taking a new engine off roading the day after it's installed!)

pugwash Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Does anyone have a list of things to take that from previous experience you might not think of? Could be in the way of tools, oils, filters, etc etc. or even in the way of clothing! I have a farily extensive list alredy- which includes boots, spare clothes and LOTS AND LOTS of SOCKS!
