Wales Camping Trip 6, anyone?
Due to other people booking dates for other things this is now set for a week later than its traditional 'first weekend after the kids go back' so that makes it Sat 11/Sun 12th Sept
I have a route in my head which needs to be finalised, done most of the Day 1 recce and waiting for my new motor to finish it and do Day 2
I still have to confirm the date with the campsite (the usual one)
But meanwhile can you stick your names down ere if you can make it on the above dates?

Thinking of using a different start location for this one, as it's a bugger to get out of those services at Dobbies roundabout & I think we have exhausted every route out of Shrewsbury
There are a couple of roads I have been meaning to include for some time, so the route will be a bit different at the start but include some old favourites from previous ones
Planning to use the same lunch stops as last year as they seemed to cope quite nicely
Boomer, if you are about, let me know if you wanna be involved in the recce etc?

Will try to make this, can't really confirm till more near the time as we have a new member to our family in the shape of a puppy called "Riley"
I'd say at the mo it's 60-40 in favour of attending.
