Bacon Grill?

 

[sapper1]

How about laver bread cockles and bacon for breakfast and lamb stew(cawl) for tea?
We had a little welsh saltmarsh lamb last time and pork and laverbread sausages,they seemed to go down well.

I can bring Alfie agin just in case we run out of meat theres enough for a few meat balls .

Should be able to bring a few rabbits may be some game prep if anybody particulary fancied it.

 

[Hammock_man]

Do we have a location

My Vote is for Glyn-y-mul, I need some thing that can be got to by Public transport and more notice equals cheap ticket!!!!

OK, parttly because the South Wales meets are democratic and partly because i don't want to take the blame if the venue is bobbins, i've added a poll which will close on the 10th Feb for which venue you would favour. Don't be shy as, if there is an overwhelming favourite we may close it early. If you have any suggestions other than the ones listed, please feel free to suggest them. I have heard tell that Merthyr Mawr is available but at a cost.

Cowbridge for me.

Really don't want to go to GYM and be knee deep in mud.

Well fellas im gonna be a pain coz i dont mind where we go , but preferably somewhere thats not too close to a public right of way like it was in the Breacon meet! ,i realise its a bit cold for the average camper so we'll probably be on our own anyway . But if not , ive heard you can make a good pot roast from a chav especially when they come pre marinaded in cheap cider !! though usually lacking in quality cuts of meat and very sinewy , but theyre easy to catch due to low IQ , but hey- ho bush tucka's about makin do .
see you all soon
cheers , Rolly

I have done me vote

But would the champions of the other sites let us have a map ref or the like so I can figure out how to get there. ( a link to a web site would not go amiss)

The sooner we decide the cheaper me ticket ??

 

[Hammock_man]

Sorry Red Kite, but I voted before reading the new posts at the bottom and added my 2 pennyworth.

I still enjoy G-y-m but will happly go with the flow

 

[rcs]

I'd love to come but would need to know where its going to be as soon as possible so i can arange bus tickets (or a lift).

regards,
Rob

The Cowbridge site sounds interesting!

 

[Dougster]

If anyone wants a lift from Cowbridge on Sat late morning I'll collect.

 

[Jedadiah]

If we do the Cowbridege site, and it looks like that's favourite at the moment, are we going for the 'lower' ground for the camp? The site area that is not at the top of the hill?

 

[Dougster]

Wasn't that muddier? If it's a swamp wouldn't it be better to walk through the mud rather than camp in it?

 

[sapper1]

Theres a meet there this weekend.we'll have a look and let you know what it's like,have to agree I prefer not to camp in the mud.

 

[Hammock_man]

As it would seem that we are on our way to cowbridge, does anyone have a grid ref and or web site ??

I know what to expect at G_Y_M but this is my first time for cowbridge.

OS grid ref SS9777, nearest Postcode CF71 7SB

M4 exit 35 head South West toward Bridgend on the A473

Follow this road past a large B&Q on left and a number of garages. On left there is the South Wales Police sports and social facility (sport pitches etc) the next round about should signpost Cardiff Cowbridge A48 first exit (left).
Take the A48 toward Cardiff / Cowbridge.
200yds straight through lights, Ford garage on Left.
400yds roundabout, straight over.
200yds Chinese Restaurant on right, long straight hill climb, road converts to crawler lane on left. Crest hill, 1/2 mile road starts to bend right, then left.
Enter 'Pentre Meyrick',
100yds take left signposted 'Penllyn 1/2m, Graig Penllyn, 1 1/2m.
Follow that road straight.
Go through small village with school on left 'Langan'
continue on road, exit Langan on hill.
Signpost on LHS 'City 1 1/2' (sign on LHS but is pointing right)
take this right turn and 1/2 m later, turn right 'Graig Penllyn, Penllyn'

Follow the road, right hand bend, up to the houses, left hand bend after the 'school' sign. Just as you reach the foot of the wooded hill you should follow the road right, but if you turn left there is a track, directly to the left of this is a green gate into a field of elephant grass, this is the carpark! Head to the top of the wooded hill, camp should be up there somewhere.
