Will i need my Snow Claw?

I'm in. Are you driving past my way Taylor?!

Not sure if I'm going over the bridge or North on the M5 yet but you can certainly have a lift.

Is it alright if I join you?

The misses flys out to the states that weekend so I've got a pass.

Course it is ... here's hoping from some dry weather.

I'll be sticking to cranberry juice at my work xmas do the night before, so I'm in.

May take the tent so ill have that nice bit of grass outside quite happily. Unless work stops play then ill have my nice warm bed.
damit well thats me out, I can't get the sunday off so ill have to miss this one! Enjoy all

I'm afraid am unavoidable appointment means I can't make it after all

Hope to meet some of you at the winter event

Righty 'O here we go ...

When: Sat Dec 6th. Noon to allow an hour or so for faffing, so underway around 1.00.

Where: SJ 018134 (Explorer 239) Forestry car park signed Pen y Ffordd / Rainbow Trails. Note - carpark not shown on all maps but it is there.

Final route will largely depend on weather and numbers but don't expect an epic, probably 25 - 30 miles at most. Our overnight spot will also be dictated by numbers / weather but come prepared for a night outside. Hopefully we should be back early afternoon, there's always the option of a cruise down to the Cann Office public house at Llangadfan upon our return.

I can promise - wet feet, some hills, a cafe, 3 tussocks (I've counted them), some farm dogs on chains, 2 barbed wire fences and a goose.

I can't promise - owt else.

PS - are we having the usual Winter Bivvy 'cook off'?

Stu - what map is going to give best coverage of where we are going?

Explorer 239 covers it all.

If there's a cook off I might bring a bit more alcohol. Cooking is definitely not my strong point, and on a meths burner I might just get hot chocolate and a pot noodle. And a bag of crisps.

So far I'm not planning on contesting the cook off unless I get some inspiration in the next week.

I might send some of this cheese that's trying to escape from my camelbak down to Stu so you can knock up some sort of campfire fondue set..

In that case, I think we should forego the 'cook off'

The portable pizza oven is not there yet, several filed test have resulted in either a Black charred mess or uncooked soggy dough..
