October Unofficial

When - October 27th 28th 29th 2006

Where - Across the sea at Anglesey
http://www.ottadventures.co.uk/off_road.htm

How (much)- Depends on what you do but basic off roading one day £23.50 ,
or two days inc two nights camping £35

What - Offroading, Camping, Tank Driving , Survival , Paintballing etc etc

Why - Why not

I'm sure I can sort a reccie if the interest is sufficent. This is the site
that the video earlier in the week which I linked, they have now updated the
site as linked above.

Good road access across North Wales, Fantasic scenary. We can always find a
freindly camp site if the facilities (shelter, showers) are lacking at this
place and your never too far from a beach... Ok it'll be October but at
least we can fly a kite.

Thoughts.

It's just up the road from Pete's Eats, in Llanberis.

Also in Llanberis, the Dinorwig power station and the electric mountain tour
is something I keep meaning to do and never actually achieve.

tours in October by advance booking only and minimum numbers. I'll email
and see what "minimum numbers" means...

H'mm about 2 weeks before the bambino is set to arrive, will have to
see if I can convince SWMBO.... After all, she may want to pop it out
early!!!

May have to give it a miss though :-(

You sort the Kettle mount on that brazier and we'll get the towels.... An
Unofficial nipper would be a first (well for the group anyway)

birth......

got an auto-response to the effect that the person who deals with that sort
of enquiry is away 'til May the 8th. Still, there's no rush.

The quarries above the station are amazing too, well worth a wander
around. My former climbing club has a hut there.

Along the lines of the recent unofficial, if it's possible to have tours on
Sunday morning, then that's Sunday sorted out

Me sister opted for home birth, but ended up in hospital anyway as things
weren't progressing suitably. finally produced by C-section...

Mind, there's a hospital handily close in Bangor (if they've not closed it
yet) ISTR, and we should have a choice of ambis if needed . Dunno if SWMBO
would appreciate an audience of AFL nutters though

Legends are made of such events - don't worry, I still have the field
first aid kit - with some nice drugs and a sutures kit in it too.
