I'm not sure. He's got a course the week before, and he mentioned that he might not be able to come.

Umm. The idea of Snowdon was chucked out, but there's the other Welsh 'resorts'. I wouldn't mind
doing something like Ladybower, but the Peaks'd probably be swarming with the red sock brigade.
Alternatively, there's Wharncliffe or Nantmawr.

Don't know anything about Nantmawr, but Wharncliffe would be good fun - it's got more or less
everything going on there - good rocky climbs/descents/downhills, twisty wooded singletrack,
technical singletrack - the works really.

Hmm, I'd like to vote out the Welsh resorts cos they really are a bit too far. I could do Afan,
but think it would probably be too far for others (?) Wharncliffe / Peaks I could definitely pick
up Simon. Nantmawr, I could pick up Simon if I'm the closest.

Might be an idea to find the location that's most central to all those involved.

I'm waiting for a yay/nay on a meeting in Swansea for the following monday - I'll mail you if I can
make it. Heard there are some nice trails in Cwmcarn and I'd be interested in trying em out.

Not that this really makes the deal anymore concrete, it's just my pitch at the moment. Huw's
currently stuffed for web access but he seemed up for it last we spoke.

Hmmm possible, depends on location though as my bike transportation is heavy on Petrol and I gotta
start saving for my boarding hoiliday in March 🙂 The Ladybower ride is good but very long and
compeltly unridable without trials skills in places, but there is an awsome downhill at the end that
makes it all worth it, there of somewhere else in the Peaks would be favorite for me. Howard

Got somewhere to stay on the Sunday evening? If so, Nantmawr is sort of half way.

I think in view of those who have said they're willing to come, Nantmawr seems to be the
most central.

So, UK a.m-b ride, 11am kick off at Nantmawr quarry, Sunday 23rd Feb. All those in favour,
say 'Aye'.

Depends - Is it doable, to get from here to there, ride and get back in a day, without pushing it
too much? There's no way I'd be able to do an overnight.

What on earth are you talking about? Oswestry's about 90 miles from Blackburn, if that's what

Been keeping an eye on this one - won't be joining you I'm afraid. Not that interested in Nantmawr
as I said before [1] and I've just been asked to join a 40 mile loop in the Brecons that day which
is a. a lot closer and b. much more my type of riding.

Next time maybe - the wayfarer route over the Berwyns (makeashorterlink.commakeashorterlink.comOpen ↗ ) just
up the road from Nantmawr is superb :-)

Have fun

Russ

[1] although I wouldn't rule out getting the bullit out for a play somewhere like that if it was a
nice warm sunny day :-)

Oh well, sorry to hear that you won't be there, although it sounds like you've got a nice trip
planned. I'm hoping on a nice mix of XC and mucking about. There's 200 acres to explore, which I'm
hoping will keep us occupied for a few hours.
