guaranteed good weather for the trip - pah what was I thinking of!

see you all in a 5 days if me and Anna survive!

Ady do you go to the actual rally or camp at Swallow falls??

I'll be at the rally - didn't know about the alternative site - are you going on the Cat?

Yep on the cat unless weather deems too dangerous. This is my first time but from what I've been told historically the dragon rally was at swallow falls but then moved up the road to Conway. My friends and a few others just continued to go to swallow falls instead on the campsite behind the hotel.

This is only my third, different site each year so far, Beddgelert last year and really mild. Year before was a bit cooler though...
Stiff neck and frostbite here we come.

Yeah can't wait, getting a bit giddy now if I'm honest, I'm probably gonna take too much stuff and forget something I really need but it's an experience at the end of the day!!

Last years trip. Yes it's a sheepskin! When in Wales...

OK so the pic didn't post. But trust me it's a sheepskin.

Fixed it

you taking a sheep skin to Wales good luck

I feel I can say that being part Welsh.


I had my saddle recovered a week ago and the chap told me about the merits of sheepskin on a bike.
I hope you have a great time, all the best.

there's a bad joke about, wales and how you got a sheep skin in there somewhere


though on a not so bad joke related note, I have read about how sheep skins are really good for long trips, but cant remember exactly what they are for......

Thanks Oldcat

Taking it to Wales? That was on the way back

But they're great for the motorway miles, double up as a bedroll and feel just like the real thing...

Cheers guys
