Shitefest 23...???

[taxi paul]

Sounds good. I have stayed at lyys Derwen with merris a few times. Are the old cars still parked next to the old garage in Llanrug village. Not sure on spellings there. Easy day visit for me from where I am, 2 hours or so. Will do my best to have a jaunt over on the Saturday. Will probably involve bringing moaning kids. But we shall see. 

[dozeydustman]

I'm still a maybe at the moment. I work on Saturdays and arranging cover can be a nightmare (we run trade waste services 6 days a week). If I can come along it will be sans wife and saturday from late afternoon returning Sunday with car.

[reb]

I will see if I can get time off for this. If I can I'll be sleeping in my car, both nights.

@davidfowler2000how do I get rid of the double line break from 22 onwards before your teeth start to itch?

if you hold shift while hitting enter/return (carriage return)

then it wont automatically double line break
like so 

 

(you can also copy it into a text editor, fix it and then paste it back, in plain text if needed to get rid of any residual formatting/colourations)

Fixed it… couldn’t have Mr Fowlers dentistry difficulties exacerbated by this thread.

I’m afraid I can’t copy and paste the whole list with the phone but anyway:

27 - Anthony G, Friday & Saturday night, staying off site. 

If someone could format that nicely I would be very grateful!

Cwm-y-glo, Caernarfon LL55 4EE I think 👍

(it's what I've been working from anyway, if it's just you and me there in July we know what went wrong 😂

[Sunny Jim]

@stripped fredwot @beko1987 said. We'll be at the Snowdon Inn Campsite, Llanberis Road, Cwm Y Glo LL554EE. https://www.thesnowdoninn.co.uk/

About 180 miles or a little over three hours from you (if you're in Leicester).

Leicester to Cwm-y-glo, Caernarfon LL55 4EE - Google Maps.htm

It'll be £10 per night to camp, payable when you arrive - no need to book with the campsite - just let me know if you want to come via this thread. Hope to see you in July.

i should be in my XM

i see no reason why not

worst case i'll be in the C5

absolutely mega worst case i'll be in my dads modern civic

[bub2006]

Right then,seeing as we are now a 1 car household driving to Wales is out the question. That leaves the motorbike. 152 miles on a 125 is doable,last time I did a similar run was on a honda c90 when we spent a wet weekend in Barmouth. 

I won't have the caravan then and if I did I'd not be able to tow it with the bike  so that means buying a tent or booking hotel. Tents don't appeal with my disability though so will need to look into hotels.

I cone back from a week in Kent on the 11th. Will the wife let me go out to play for a weekend? I'll let you know tomorro! If be game for riding over though if I can sort some accommodation as the thought of over 300 mile in a day doesn't appeal!

 

Edit

Travelodge is over 200 quid for 2 nights,air bnb will be about 100 minimum and Premier Inn has no parking. Can anyone recommend anything comfy to lie on in a tent? Army style cot maybe? Does anyone have a cheap tent for sale?!

[catsinthewelder]

It's next month Daz, you'll probably have bought 2 cars and an Escort van by then.

@Sunny Jim mentioned theres a  chalet available for booking which might be suitable? I have been wondering if anyone else was planning on booking it, id be happy to split the costs

then the only problem id have to solve is actually getting to it from the site LOL

Suitable for motorhomes and small caravans. I'm sure Ted won't have a problem with people sleeping in cars either. He's a pretty laid-back bloke and from what you outlined above we'll have no problem complying with the few 'rules' there are at The Snowdon Inn.

For @LightBulbFun and anyone else who doesn't want to camp a colleague has a wooden chalet that's free that weekend. The accommodation consists of a double bed and two bunk beds in one room and a sofa bed in the living room, toilet shower and kitchen area - it's £50 a night all in. It's about half a mile from the campsite up a hill over looking the lake. If anyone's interested let me know asap and I'll get it booked.

This link to it on airbnb will show it as booked - it is still available they've just sacked off airbnb and prefer to let it through word of mouth. airbnb link

 

[bub2006]

A bit of logic and reasoning means I'll sadly not be able to attend. Can't warrant 100 quid plus for accommodation then petrol and food so soon after getting back from Kent. Plus since I've been ill I've not been able to cope well long distance so I'll probably still be wiped out from the trip back from Kent Monday before. Also highly doubt if I bought a tent I'd be able to stand up in the morning!

[bub2006]

Thanks cord but I'm backing out. Maybe meet up in Buckingham for the day with some of you fine folk

[Cord Fourteener]

For Bub and for anyone else, i have a Mondeo that's basically a glamping pod on wheels, I can take my Volvo and kip under a tarp or a tent if the weather is foul. 

Anyone needing the Glampeo just meet me at mine, about an hour from Sunny Jims.

I'm planning on coming along for the weekend but I don't do camping so if the chalet is available I could split the cost with @LightBulbFun and provide a lift from the site to the chalet and back. The Saxo has already been to South and Mid Wales back in 2019 so a trip to North Wales would complete the set. 🙂 

 

[Sunny Jim]

Thanks for the most kind offer of the glamping Mondeo (Glamondeo?) @Cord Fourteener.

@BL Bloke& @LightBulbFun (and anyone else who might be interested) please let me know if you'd like the chalet as soon as you can. My colleague, George, has been kind enough to keep it free for now but I did say I'd let him know soon. @Supernaut were you interested in it for a few days after the event?

that could work nicely! as long as @beko1987 is still game for giving himself PTSD by picking me up from near central London!

There could be a tentative plan C I guess, PM me your full address, guess there's nothing to stop me picking you up on thursday, you'd have to sleep at mine overnight although in a proper single bed, then take you back monday.

just want to double check, when you say take me back monday, am I correct in saying that is from your place, so I would be staying Thursday night and Sunday Night at your place?

(so I only need to book the chalet for the 2 shitefest nights?)

The drive daunts the shit out of me tbh but once I'm in the car and going ill be fine 😂

Yes 2 nights at shitefest. Picking you up Thursday enables us to relax, chill and pack the car Thurs afternoon, and then we can leave Friday morning! Ditto Sunday, I might be not tired enough to drive you straight home, but if not we have a plan B! 

Alot depends on the traffic tbh, Thursday late morning traffic sounds better than Friday, ditto Sunday evening, but if not Monday morning will be fine I'm sure!

you can count me as game for both nights

@LightBulbFunshall I call George tonight and book it for the Friday and Saturday nights then?

[beko1987]

Studying rhe route more closely it does seem to be stay on the m40 then a40 then a50whatever until I'm 2 turns from your flat. So not too tricky, just busy. Equally the a1 then m1 is close to you, and we can come back home via Aylesbury easily. 

Game on! However I can't promise no one will throw something heavy at you if you talk about nothing but invacars the entire weekend... On your own there, I'll take back what remains on Sunday

Yeah, book it, and then we can work out/worry about who else wants the chalet from there

(even if I end up on my own it will be worth the £100, and im sure* out of the 30+ people going someone will be sober enough to take me there and back each night)
