Not entered yet but im in but like last yr have to work on the monday so will be entering the lite again :( was going to Belguim with the lads from work cycling for four days but will stay loyal to the cause and the WRT is great fun!

Hoping to enter, need to run it past the wife first mind. Might talk to her about it over my birthday dinner tonight as she's legally obliged to be nice to me today

Bah! I really want to do this but have half-organised a Torridon trip for May and won't be able to do both. Been saying I'll go back to Torridon every year for over 20 years so I can't blow it out.

Pretty chuffed that over the last couple of months I'd talked my girlfriend into giving it a go and, admittedly beer assisted in the pub this evening, seem to have talked 3 others into it as well! All newbies but well up for it!

Well brought it up last night over dinner, and managed to talk her into coming with me, but we'll just be doing the Lite. Going to head down from Durham on Friday, stay in Ponterwyd to catch up with friends from when I lived there, do the Lite, back over to Ponterwyd for Sunday night, then the drive home on Monday. Will get our entries in soon!

yep, I'm in and looking forward to getting lost mostly

thinking about riding to and from the event as well as now I have the time to do this stuff without worry about
getting back for work

Funny Steve, I was having exactly the same thoughts myself last night,

have you finished work as well Jack ?

when I say finished I mean redundant

Oh no Steve, still hanging in there, but I have plenty of time for fun.

I'm in. Haven't persuaded anyone to join me yet. I couldn't last year either and quite enjoyed the solitude....

I promise not to keep you talking for 2 hours this year

Were you talking? I couldn't hear anything over the sound of me scoffing cake!

My mission this year is NOT to damage the scales at the weigh in!

Considering entering but struggling to convince anyone else I know to ride with me it seems.

If I just turn up (prepared to be a loner) is it likely that I'll find other people to ride with?

There'll be plenty of folk to tag along with.
I'm normally free to drag people round, just ask CaptainFantastic how much misery I inflicted on him last year. :D

I really want to enter it looks good but I've never bivvy before I've got the go ahead of the misses :)

dont worry about that. Great event to start on

You're 'allowed' to sleep wherever you like - B&B, Pub, hotel, 10 bedroom holiday cottage*. If you want to be outside then a tent is allowed too, it doesn't have to be a bivvy bag.

* Yes I'm talking to you two.

Along with Wendy Houses, you can add rat infested sheds, rugby pitches, pub back gardens, boggy but comfortable forests, sheep sheds (Pole Bank, Long Mynd) and recreation fields, B&B's in Dolgellau & Llanrhaeadr and the White Lion in Mach :D

It's all good :)

There and back saw me sleep on the steps of dol sports pavilion thing

Undecided this year, partly due to the distance between Scotland and Wales...and I've never been able to convince a friend that it would be fun.

Ill be entering at the end of Feb once i get paid. Hoping to get a pass for the 3 days if i can find someone to look after little un :D Likely to ride it solo though as i wouldnt want to slow anybody else down!

Right I've entered.

Just realised I have no idea where this even starts from!
