More seriously, it would be a lovely outing but it would need to include an overnight somewhere and the weather forecast for Saturday is atrocious. Another time though. mat_the_cat and Cord Fourteener 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cord Fourteener Posted May 6, 2021 Author Share Posted May 6, 2021 Has someone not sacrificed to Thor? We've been trying to organise this meet for over a friggin year now, first it was the worst global pandemic for 102 years and now its the friggin winter storms in friggin May. Are we all in favour of postponing until the sun shines on our corner of Climate Disaster Earth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat_the_cat Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 I'm still up for it - it'll be an adventure, and a far better story than "it rained a bit, and I stayed at home." Even if we just attempt sign language through steamed up windows, and go for a nice* scenic* drive. I may pack some WD40 though!

Cord Fourteener Posted May 6, 2021 Author Share Posted May 6, 2021 OK so notwithstanding a little waterlogged meet on Saturday we need some more suggestions for dates to organise a meeting for a proper gathering. Please, post suggestions/ can't make dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eifion Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Barring floods in the Conwy Valley we'll still be there if other people are going. It's not that far for us and after a winter stuck inside any opportunity to get out is a good thing. Cord Fourteener 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brownnova Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 The day dawned typically Welsh... a resounding Labour victory in the elections, horizontal rain, blustery wind and greyer than the slate of Blaenau Ffestiniog. It must be May. The Denbigh Moors were bleak and devoid of colour, the wind hitting the slab sides of the Pontiac like waves hitting the hull of a ship. Standing water abounded, and the small river which flowed across the smooth snaking asphalt threatened to knock us off course. But none of this mattered, a shite meet had been agreed, and hell or high water we were meeting. The rendezvous was a closed chocolate shop, nestled safely in a village that no mere Englishman could pronounce. 6 intrepid examples of chod and their occupants donned waterproof outfits, and huddles for warmth around a V8 engine. Hairnet demanded tea, so a cafe was sought, the rain meant the tea would never run dry. A small veranda provides shelter for about 2 at a time, with none of the men being gentleman enough to give way to the one lady present. But Mrs Eifion is clearly tougher than most of us. As are TimE’s kids, who ran through puddles and walked backwards up ramps for entertainment. As ever much talk of projects, purchases and genera fettling ensued, tea (or Lattes for the posh ones) were drunk, and it was genuinely great to see the local Shiters again. Looking forward to the next one already!! Sunny Jim, Cord Fourteener, Mrs6C and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunny Jim Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Lovely to see you all. Mat arrived in his wonderful sounding V8 in a cloud of steam but soon got his leaking hose sorted. I, on the other hand haven't been able to get the BX to start again so am still outside the cafe waiting for the breakdown. Good company, bad weather and mediocre cars. Thanks to Tim for organising it and Mark for the brew. Cord Fourteener, Mrs6C, richardmorris and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
