All good ideas. Wetroads is an entertaining site, and there is a fair
amount of stuff where we are going.

Its 21 miles roughly from Trefach to K-Quads, according to Mapquest.
I'll have to print off some copies of the directions.

Sounds like a plan. We'll be sprog-free (unless something really unusual
happens between now and then) - just two middle-aged teenagers. We'll bring
charcoal, a small gas barbie, possibly a gazebo thing and a small genny.
Plus stuff to put on the barbie, plus stuff of a liquid nature to put inside
the people standing round the barbie. And did I say beer too?

Possibly a dog - does anyone know if Trefach are OK with monster puppies?

Arrrgggh nooooo!!!!! I'm opting out of that one, if I see it one more
time... Had to endure that all Gaydon and some of Eastnor. I think Emma may
kill someone, she saw it more times than me :eek:)


 
We'll be bringing caravan and big awning, meat for barbie, beer/wine. Can
bring a space heater if there is a request, will bring a number of chairs,
always seem to end up short.

Steve, give us a shout if we can bring anything else...

Does anyone want any 101 club merchandise as can chuck that in. Not bringing
shop though, won't be room.

Emma may take a few DVDs though... Cheap at a Tenner a throw...

I'll take something like The Gods Must Be Crazy - good all round
family fun - with a Land Rover S1 in it. May also keep "Debbie does
Llanelli" in reserve in case no kids turn up...

I'm sure we could get enuf zeebos and the like to make a fairly good
encampment. Can I suggest we attempt to get a 'big pitch to
ourselves' with a hookup? My genny - quiet, will only do 1KVA and I
really hate noisy gennies...

I don't mind coughing up for a hookup.

Do K quads hire, erm, quads? If so, a few of us could add to their
income that way.

Can bring any shop merchandise if people would like it. Would be helpful to
know up front, but we will chuck a small (will have to be as will run out of
room) selection. Jumpers, fleeces and drill shirts did well at peterborough,
might bring some and hope its cold :eek:)

I'd really like a hook-up too (can't run heating without it I don't think!),
ditto on the coughing.

Quite, like the sound of others doing the sweating, will make a nice change
for you not to be in charge martyn, i should think.

I deleted that bit from my mind without thinking about it.

I am never in charge, ask Charlotte ;-)

Ok but you will have to ask nicely :eek:)

Will need elec to power it though, and a supply of kerosine, hoping austin
might be able to volunteer a bit as I don't fancy carring too much a long
distance as it would probably have to go either in truck or in caravan,
either way could be a recipe for disaster (or headache) if it was spilt etc
etc.
