With the demise of The Star...

[In Reverse]

...has anyone had any bright ideas for accomodation/food/drinks for the night before the BB200?

There's Hafren Forest bunkhouse Andy but I did hear they were booked up 6 months in advance. https://hafrenforestbunkhouse.com/

I think a licensed bar is a prerequisite Stuart.

Although the axe-throwing might be useful.

[Bearbonesnorm]

Wondered whether it could be a BYO and BBQ affair

I find it's always best to have a third party enforcing last orders on these occasions

[Bearbonesnorm]

White Lion in Mach' might be worth trying. Perhaps the liveliest pub in Mach and does B&B.

Mid Wales pub in pant yr dwr was a right laugh last time I ventured that way.

Penrhos Arms at Cemmas might be another option: https://www.penrhosarms.com/

Would it be fair to say that offers a convenient early scratching point for those riders who aren't really feeling it?

They looked after us very well on the 2016 WRT - More or less gave us the bar all night to dry our sodden selves out.

Is there a campsite nearby...?

[RIP]

campsite

?





(Was one up the road. Probably haven't had a toilet since it fell apart in my hands five years ago. Still, the insane price they charged me for the 'facilities' (none) would've bought a complete replacement)

Cringoed is just up the road. https://www.pitchup.com/campsites/Wales ... lsrc=aw.ds

What about the pub in Llanbrynmair? Is that no good?

I was thinking that. I had the weirdest stay in there in 2014. Bedroom with the spooky cot

There's nothing 'wrong' with it aside from it's somewhat run-down. Someone once asked me if it was a theme pub. Slightly puzzled, I asked what the theme was ... 'Wales
1957' was the reply. However, in fairness, if there were a few there and expectations were kept in check, then it'd likely be a good night.

what's the latest on The Star please.

A family bought it John. I believe their intention is to run it as a licensed B+B but no sign of anything happening so far.

I’m staying at Cringoed campsite so could easily head into Llanbrynmair to the pub Friday.

[Alexinthepeaks]

Im eating there and asked if i can camp in my van and they said ok!

[Charliecres]

I stayed at the pub in Llanbrynmair before one BB200. It was basic but the welcome was warm, the food was hot and the beer was perfectly acceptable.

[pete68]

That's good to know as we've booked a room there. Last time ,we camped at cringoed. Was quiet and facilities were fine

[RIP]

I see on their Tariffs page they offer an "electric optional gravel touring pitch". Graveltouring? Pah, it'll never catch on .

PS> Shortening "electricity" to "electric" seems quite common these days. Maybe it's cheaper.
