All rather off topic, but okay.

No, this IS off topic so I won't - I'll tell you on MSN. Save me getting other people involved too.

Maybe adam was getting confused with the portable pub?
Right, despite being very busy at work, despite me working 36 hours over Tuesday and Yesterday, despite being on call and called out yesterday and tonight, and despite only having had 8 hours sleep in the last 60 hours, I've got a couple of disposable barbecues to bring.

I take it you two will also be bringing a couple each, or are you just all bla bla all words on a forum and no action (again)

What? You had all that time and did not pick some up for us?

only kidding! see you at the meet mr wilson

.......... etc.

So you won't be far behind. You ok with directions over there amigo?

suddy · Post by **suddy** » Fri Jun 03, 2005 3:26 pm

might have a dry run and go there sunday....not that far away from me really, (about hour and a half i reckon)

stu chacks · Post by **stu chacks** » Fri Jun 03, 2005 3:47 pm

If you are going give Ad a shout - sure he'll go with you and show you where to go. It's still a fair run from Wrexham though as all scenic A & B roads. Although the route we've done you're only ever on 2 different roads from the meet to the campsite so pretty easy to get there.

suddy · Post by **suddy** » Fri Jun 03, 2005 7:00 pm

cant you go along the a55, then down past llanwrst, and that way along?

stu chacks · Post by **stu chacks** » Sat Jun 04, 2005 8:47 am

You sure can, hang a right in Betws-y-coed (A5) then a left at capel-curig down the A498. It's not a major campsite or anything so easy to miss.

Tut tut tut, I turn my back for 2 minutes and now we are all at war over the price of disposable BBQs. I thought they were expensive because of the price we sell them at Homebase. There is an Aldi across the road from my Homebase so will go and pick up a few there.

Look forward to seeing you all soon

So are there any issues? Does everyone know where we are meeting?

Stu and myself will be at the services from 11.30. If you find 2 abandon 480s in the car park we will be in the restaurant.

Maybe you should post a summary of the meet location, time, day etc, so all the relevant info is in one post, near the bottom of the thread?
