Mad March March to the Marches

#1 Post by xvivalve »

This is an idea I thought of after the long (quantity) but short (distance) convoy from my house to the TDCIR Himley Hall, what, three years ago?

The amount of folk who in a six mile distance pointed at our cars, because there was more than one of them, made me think, let's get out there and be seen!

The principle of this event will be a fun convoy on some good A and B roads around the Welsh Marches.

The event will take place on Saturday 28 February 2009 and Sunday 01 March 2009 (St David's Day).

The route will be circular and designed with specific stops where folk can chose to join or leave us at will depending on availability, locality and desire.

The provisional itinerary will be as follows:

Saturday AM:

1: Meet for coffee at Ross on Wye (end of M50 and convenient access point for many)
2: Head off :arrow: Hereford via Ledbury
3: Hereford :arrow: Leominster
4: Lunch - good chippy by the main car park

Saturday PM

5:Leominster :arrow: Hay on Wye
6: Afternoon tea
7: Hay on Wye :arrow: Llantony Priory via Hay Bluff
8: Overnight stop at Llantony Priory: A truly fantastic place
Campsite and Rooms available though rooms are very popular and advance booking required.
There is a real ale bar in the vaults of the ruined priory :D

Sunday AM

9: Lazy start and back over Hay Bluff and down :arrow: Brecon via Talgarth
10: Lunch in Brecon provisionally at the Puzzle Tree (will probably need to book for this so in due course will need numbers for this bit)

Sunday PM

11. Brecon :arrow: Abergavenny
12. Cross country Abergavenny :arrow: Monmouth
13. Monmouth :arrow: Ross
14. Afternoon tea in Ross
15. Home


So, anyone up for it? Hopefully get Rob Marshall to write it up for the magazines and good publicity for the Club.

Costs will be purely individual; fuel, food and accommodation

I wonder how many cars we could muster for the overnight stop?

This could be the first of many in different parts of the Country...

I have never been to Wales.
Maybe this is the occasion to rectify that?

Well i will most probably pass you on the way upto Adrian's on saturday (in my daily motor), and hopefully in a dolly on the way back.

Sunday - parent's anniversary, but after that who know's, i might just see you on the Brecon roads.
