Bishops Castle 5 2013 - Enter the Dragon

**ellie** Fri Jan 04 2013, 20:44

First topic message reminder :

To allow time for you guys & gals to save beer tokens & build up enough Brownie points etc a date of Saturday 8th June has been decided for BC5.

As usual the ride will be centered around Shropshire & Wales & peeps are welcome to join for just the rideout or to B&B/camp for both the Friday & Saturday nights with food in the local hostelries which will be announced in due course.

B&B's are aplenty & most will take a booking in advance without requiring payment untill the weekend in question so its always a good idea to book early as last year it got very busy with a local wedding taking up some of the B&B's we normally use.

Below is a link to the main places to stay all within easy walking distance & please just ask if we can offer any help or advice, The Claremont also have as well as B&B a property which can be shared by a number of peeps who may wish to reduce costs by sharing & if I remember correctly a garage they have allowed us to use for the bikes in the past.

The Foxholes Camp site have a Bunk house, Static Caravan & Camping available.

Thanks Nick & Ellie

Keep us informed of when you may do it as I could be at a loose end - and if you want others tagging along.

You joining us at BC this year Pete?

**mechy69** Thu Apr 25 2013, 18:44

im afraid due to circumstances i shall not be attending this year , this is done with a very heavy heart as i missed last years as well

**kwakkat** Thu Apr 25 2013, 18:57

can,t as its clashes with some one,s at work holiday

As you can see, 2 posts up, Mechy is unable to make BC this year.
Which is a shame as I know he loves the Welsh roads and has thoroughly enjoyed BC in the past.

Consequently there is a space in a twin room available for the Friday and Saturday nights if anyone is still looking for accommodation. It's at The Claremont B&B which is opposite the venue for Sat night and has covered parking. Basic but clean and friendly. The down side - you're sharing with me. Cost, from memory, 35 quid per night.

If anyone's interested drop me a message. If there are no takers I'll inform the B&B at the end of the week.

Cheers,
Chris

PS We'll have a pint in the pub for you Pete!

I know Pete (Mechy) can't come, I should have been more specific as I was asking Pete (Kwakat) if he was coming lol.

Sorry you're not joining us Pete.

The Claremonts OK and really close to the Three Tuns

Will anyone be camping at foxholes this year, I may (MAY) have negotiated a pass out for one or maybe 2 nights but figured I'd go all old school and camp as I missed 'Into the valley' this year.

Greencat has bravely volunteered to let me take up this vacancy, so please add me to the list. I'll be there for Friday and Saturday evenings. Will post menu choices shortly.

Look forward to meeting y'all.
