Thanks to M@rk, Lydon, Andy & Ken for a great time on the Brecons shame the weather wasn't better but I still enjoyed it.

Mark some great pictures and don't forget I need your address.

Andy hope you didn't get home to late.

I will let you know when I sort out another weekend, and if any of you sort anything out please let me know.

Ed hope your feeling better mate.

All I can say is your a great bunch of lads and not one axe murderer among you, well maybe Andy! (only joking Andy :lmao: )

Thanks Again

Tim

Be aware that there's no open fires at the second site you mentioned.

Although you're probably looking at the same document as me and already know that. :)
Which document's that then guys?? C'mon, do tell!!

Someone else was asking about grid refs, well you can look them up on www.streetmap.co.uk, select 'Landranger' on the options and put the grid ref straight in (take out any spaces) - works a treat. You can also convert between lat/long, os grid, postcode & telephone code by clicking the little link almost hidden in the blue banner at the bottom of the screen.

Whilst I'm going on about maps (sorry, not strictly on thread), www.multimap.co.uk does a great aerial photo overlay on top of the map, find your camp site by postcode (use streetmap to convert from grid ref to postcode!) then click the little camera icon at the top of the map.

Really I just wanted to say that I think it's great that you guys can just organise this amoungst a group of otherwise total strangers - good effort!!

Yep!
Thanks all. Really nice to go with you all. Sorry I was only a part timer - I hope your Saturday night wasn't too nasty. Would love to do it again, but maybe hold the rain. Oh, and I think I'll take just a few more things next time.

Hi Lyn

Not sure if i`m going to be around for the canoeing, but perhaps we could meet up for an overnighter in May/June some time, do you think any of the others would be interested.

Do you have any details on the meet at Merthyr Mawr with Mors.

If you are about for the last week in June I would like to come along. Where abouts are you going? I'm from Brecon but am sadly abroad (England) and love to get back and outdoors whenever possible.
