Well the good news is that according to BBC travel in/out of Wales is now allowed... So at the very least we can actually get to track, even if it means an early start and no kipping over at track/hotel. But we're 6 weeks or so away, i expect by then we'll be fine for hotels etc.

If you have a lady in your tent, don't think it's classed as SC. 😉

Yup, but at the moment only those with self contained facilities. So self catering apartments, hotle rooms, caravans and camper vans. Those that need facility blocks are not allowed yet including tents ..... they are reviewed every couple of weeks so looking favourable by the time we are there

Shirley there will be toilets though? So one could kip in ones van, have a wash and brush-up from a bowl of water outside like we used to in the olden days racing, and then all you need is a toilet for the morning ablutions.

I was supposed to be home next week, but it's cancelled because I'm not coming home just to sit as a prisoner for two weeks in my own house, and that means I have the option of coming back when this is on - obviously depending on lockdowns, flights, not having to quarantine myself in case I fetch the plague back with me.
we going to see you make an appearance then either with or without a motorbike ?

Right then guys,

I've been chatting with Alan today and we have a few complications. It seems that firstly no under 16s are likely to be allowed due to government CV19 stuff in Wales. With Ceris mum not living a million miles away we are OK to sort this one and we'll drop our boy off at her place on the Friday, then scoot back to Llanelli before tea.

The other minor issue is with camping.... Current rules are that no overnight camping is allowed. The thoughts are that this HOPEFULLY will change but that can't be promised at this stage. So we've booked the same hotel for the Saturday night, using the Flexi booking which allows free cancellation up to 3 days before hand. Obviously by 3 days before we'll know 100% if that's changed in Wales so can cancel and do the camping thing if allowed. But if not, then we'll be staying down at the Premier Inn for the 2nd night too.
I/we understand if that causes you guys (Jazzy mostly) a problem and will do our best to make things right, but we cannot change the rules laid out by Wales as you can imagine.

Hi Weeksy

I'm sorted mate.

Due to a misbooking issue my end, we are actually on holiday in Wales the week leading up to the 22nd.

We are going to Aberporth for a couple of days, then across to LLanidloes for the rest of the week.

So the plan is to get up Saturday and travel the 2 hours down from Llanidloes on Saturday morning bright and early. Debs and the kids (and dogs) will drop me and the trailered GSXR off in the morning and probably go to Tenby for the day, then pick me up after the trackday, and we've got an airbnb booked about 20miles back towards civilisation.

Then sunday we'll just toddle on home from there.

So yes a bit different from the norm and not what we wanted, but with the lockdown continuing on in Wales better than nothing!

I will be proper roughing it, with just letting the tyres down and riding it as there's bugger all room in the car what with the kids, the weeks worth of clothes, and dogs and the bike's going to be towed behind the car all week.

I do have a favour to ask though Steve? Can you bring me a gallon or 2 of petrol please?

Cheers

Extra night booked at the hotel just in case but as you said its a stand by measure we might not need .......... no biggie as a comfy bed instead of a kip mat and a sleeping bag might be nice :D :D
