For those people travelling from the north the A55 is a very quick but boring dual carrageway from the M56. I would recommend the much more scenic A494 starting at queensferry down to the A5 and passing thro Betsy-coed with plenty of cafes for a quick brew. While at Betsy-coed i bought a smaller tent a Vango Halo 300 fits on the bike easily and not too heavey at 4 kg see you there!!

That's great Keithy2, good to get some feedback. By the way there are 3 pubs, good shops and a takeaway. The campfields are quite big, don't know if you went down there.

I would like to have a small meet up before the actual event, first or second week in March for a recce and check the pubs! If anyone can make it I'm sure we can get the bunkhouse or just camp.
Will keep posting to see if anyone can get there, any input will be helpful.

Cheers Steve

I think it's a great idea and i have read those former Lakeland reports too, hoping to show up there too one day. Both the old and new location would be within a one-day-drive distance for me.

However... Guess it will not happen, as may is impossible for me to take days off at my work. May always is the power-plants annual stop, no leaves allowed in that month. Pity...

Have fun guys! And make some nice pics!

Room for one in the bunk?

Just found this thread.
Is there room for one in the bunk?

Me and me missus stayed at Platts Farm last spring for the weekend. We were in our Bongo campervan. Had a day of rain but it didn't really matter as there is plenty of cover. Walking distance to the village and close to the prom (with bar).

I plan to exit work early afternoon and get to the Wales Friday evening and return Sunday am.

Not met any of the forum before (that I know of) so will be good to chat to some fellow XT'er's.

Assuming I don't break myself at the previous weekends Taffy Dakar, I hope to see you in May. I'm up for trails or road ride outs.

Cheers
Simon

Could only attach 1 pic in previous post so here's another one.

Hi srb and welcome. I'm afraid that due to complacency we have lucked out on the bunkhouse as a load of 'V' twin owners got their order in first!

Come camping with the rest of us, we should have use of one of the fields and I will be organising a couple of the braziers so shouldn't be cold.

It looks like there will be a fair amount of new faces this year and now that these bikes have got a few years on them, there should be some really good mods to have a look at.

Thanks SteveD. Camping is fine by me.
Is payment being sorted individually once we get there?

If I need to make a deposit I will and then get monies in when we get there. I will be visiting Platts Farm a few times before the event so I'll have a chat with Sam and get details then. It will not be expensive.

Cheers Steve
