Well, it looks like we’re going to be lucky again with the weather on Sunday. Beautiful toda,y not very clever tomorrow but great again on Sunday. Really looking forward to it now, especially the curry on Saturday night in Rhayader.
Are you by any chance heading over to Aberystwyth? you may need an icecream because It’ll be so hot.
I had intended to try and come out to play that day if you’d have us, but unfortunately am too busy for the day but if you are heading to Aber I’ll apply for a pass to get out for a while.

Thanks for that Dave, is there many of you out?
We’d like to catch up with you at some stage if you have no objection and do part of the run and then peel off by Bow Street.
If you see a stranger sneaked in amongst you it may well be us, we’ll be in a silver Mk3 with a boot rack on.
hopefully catch up with you.
Phil
Many thanks for allowing us to gatecrash your party today. We trust that you had a good run over to the Elan valley and that the weather stayed good for you.
Sorry that we couldn’t have stayed longer but I will keep an eye on the forum and see if we can venture south for a run in the future.
Best wishes
Phil & Deb.

Sorry for the late reply, it was good to meet you all and we will do our best to join you again soon.
We were pressed for time on the afternoon that we met up with you as we were getting ready for our daughters special occasion.
It was a perfect day with perfect weather.
