Hi,

I am considering to join in but i live in Belgium.
Can anybody local recommend budget accomodation for my missus in the area close to the start?

At least I'd let you stop at a pub once in a while!!

If you'd gone to the pub you'd have missed the rave.
That may not be entirely true.

Just sorting out train tickets. Am correct in thinking Caersws is the nearest train station to the start?

I'm 100% certainly I've asked this before!

Yes it is. Look on the map and eide to the start via Trefeglwys and Staylittle ... much nicer than the main road.

I thought so! Excellent!

I note that you didn't tell him about the climb out of Llawr-y-glyn to Staylittle!!

To be honest ... I don't even notice it when I'm out.

*Actually, it's a bit of a b'stard but soon over with.

hi, it's our first year of entry and we are looking forward to it.
If we wanted to arrive on the Friday evening and camp,near the start somewhere, would that be possible at all?
have a longish drive and we didn't really fancy it on the Saturday morning.
also there will be 3 of us in one car if that helps the parking out at all.
cheers

Bearbonesnorm · Post by **Bearbonesnorm** » Mon Mar 16, 2015 12:07 pm

Sadly, no camping at the start. It is something we've looked at but it's no go.

This place is a couple of miles from the start: http://dolgadfanfarmcampsite.co.uk/

nice one, will check it out, thank you.

I'm off on the Friday before the WRT and travelling across from London. Was thinking about going to BPW and staying overnight in the Brecon Beacons somewhere.....

Hmmmm Bpw on a rigid 29er, should be fun! Can you rent bikes there?

Yeah you can.

I'll be on my Scott 29er with front suspension. Ridden it there before and it was fine. Stayed off the black runs though!

If we arrive at about 11.45, will we have missed the raffle and weigh in etc? I don't think so, but id rather check and be right than not check and be wrong!

You should know by now that the WRT is like a well oiled precision machine ............... that someone has dropped a great big spanner into. I imagine that Taylor will still be dishing out abusive comments at his 'weigh in' booth, Chew will still pounce on you and demand a pound for the sweepstake and I won't quite have got round to sorting the raffle out by 11.45.

I'll be under the shelter with bucket loads of abuse to hurl at people with heavy bikes.

Owners of bikes lighter than mine won't escape the tirade either.

If you've not met me, think of Dave, but with more swearing.

Matt · Post by **Matt** » Thu Mar 19, 2015 9:20 pm

Dave wins though, he may swear less but at least we can make out the words he's using.

Ben98 · Post by **Ben98** » Thu Mar 19, 2015 9:36 pm

Aaaaand I'm in!

KamelTrek · Post by **KamelTrek** » Mon Mar 23, 2015 5:51 pm

Hi All - I may be going crazy, but can't seem to find anywhere on the forum or the online site for WRT that shows where the start point is or the closest city / station to the start point. Would be great to find out to help me plan.

Thx!
