Thanks for the information. Sounds great, but I have had an outbreak of reality and have reached the conclusion that driving for 9 hours in a day - 3 each way and 3 on the run - is too ambitious. I doubt that I can make the time to stay over.

Thanks again and have a great day!

125 Miles ? I thought last years was only just over the 100 mark ?

For me its about 60 miles to Sarn, so probably a 250 mile day (and I'm quite near) . So unless it's a 'Welsh Members' day, I'd say about 80-100 mile route would suffice Brian, especially if in numbers and waiting for catch ups ?

It's a lovely area and worth doing though, for anyone who does need to book a hotel and make it a weekend event.

Last year was more! we went up to Builth Wells and over to LLangorse Lake and back i'v cut that bit out! Thing is it takes nearly an hour to get into the Beacons from Bridgend. I understand though if its too much for a day? we could always pop up to Merthyr Tydfil for a coffee.

Seriously though if it is too much let me know, we can always call it off and do something else?

Are we all still up for this?

There is the option to just stop for a coffee and a pee! that way we can be back in Bridgend area
by 2:30ish. Ofcourse if your heading toward the bridge you will peel off in Merthyr and head down to Cardiff.

No, I'm up for a good 80/100 miler or so. My Appt is booked out, but I'm not adverse to a Premier Inn if it makes something of the weekend and lessens the overall mileage on the day. There's a Prem Inn/Beefeater at Pencoed (J36 I think)

Go for it Brian.

- We'll just bill you for the fuel afterwards

Might be able to attend, although may be moving house...

Whats the plan fkr getting to the Beacons, if its A470 via J32 I'd ideally met you somewhere as Im coming from Magor, if its through the valleys I'd meet at Bridgend.

Hi Dave, it will be over the Bwlch and then over the Rhigos first so Sarn is best I'm afraid! Hope you can make it.

Is there a list of who's attending anywhere yet Brian ?
It would be nice to know all of those who are going to try and keep up with the Alpinas !!
