Re: Sat 1st Aug, FoD, bring the fun
Meeting postcode is GL15 4JD, this is the postcode for the fountain Inn but we'll be parking up a hundred metres or so down the road providing that there's enough space.
I'm not sure how far people are traveling so is 9:30 ok or would the majority prefer a little bit later?

He's been throwing it in the floor a bit too much lately and 'bruised bone' is being something of a standing joke in our house when said in a particular way

Chocy and a couple of his friends are coming down too.

Hell yeah, there's off piste stuff all over the place, so much so that I haven't even found loads of it.weeksy wrote: Mon Jul 27, 2020 10:59 am Is there enough there for the day Taff ? Or are we going over to FoD after for some trails ? Skills area open again yet ?
As I said at the start of the thread, if we get to the point that we've done enough in dowies/shutcastle we can relocate to bitch hill or mallards pike or pedalabikeaway all depending on what people want to do on the day.

Re: Sat 1st Aug, FoD, bring the fun
and my mate's wife is on a connondale moterra as well.
Be aware that there's no mobile phone signal in Parkend but there is patchy coverage up in the forest. I'll be parked up in a silver merc vito with a bike rack fixed to the back.
