Into The Valley: PROD Goes To Wales (Feb 28th)

[El Jefe]

that'd be ace.

 

[sojourner]

I can get to machynlleth with one train change. I am going to put the date in my diary, and if I have not got a job before then (and it is looking unlikely) I will be there.

Or...I could drive us Just over 2 hours...we would just need somewhere to kip

 

[tarannau]

Sounds a cracker mate. I had a ball in that part of the country for years, and PROD should go well.

Would love to say I'd come and join you, but it's been a good few years since I called upon the Aberystwyth contacts. May investigate a little...

Yeah! Do it! Do it!

yes yes yes!!!

 

[tarannau]

Yeah! Do it! Do it!

Would love to, but finances and present lack of job may <sensible hat on> rule it out. Will have a look anyway, with fingers crossed. Beautiful bit of the world.

Not sure who I know who's still left up there, but will spread the word through veteran Aberystwyth types for you

 

[sojourner]

yes yes yes!!!

You're in charge of sorting accommodation then mate Is there a travelodge or b&b round there?

I wouldn't have thought so. I have never seen one when I was around there.

I will look into it now.

I have a tent.

I am just putting that out there.

A tent

In February

In Wales


erm...tarannau...these mates of yours...

 

[Dillinger4]

I have done it before. It isn't so bad!



Actually, I don't even know if I have a tent any more.

 

[tarannau]

Hey, don't look at me. Last time I went our host went drunken AWOL and we ended up sleeping on Ynyslas estuary for the first night. Four of us in a VW Polo, fuelled only by Ginsters. That was fun

 

[El Jefe]

there's a guest house / cottage place called Smuggler's Cove Boatyard that my mate Geoff runs (who's kinda behind this whole venture) which takes a whole load of people and is quite near the venue.

Yes dear, but I'm practically a pensioner and my days of camping in deepest winter are long gone, so even though I have a tent, you should still start checking for accommodation!

You're so casual

WE COULD GO RAMBLING!!

 

[sojourner]

I just googled it - looks gorgeous.

Think we'd need to block book - would we have enough people? Have you seen the price for 2 nights?

I never look at the price, dahling.

 

[sojourner]

Aberdyfi as well. Gorgeous around there.

<grandad mode on>

Had some of the best nights of my life at free parties around there and Tregaron. Rigs set up surrounded by mountains and lakes/reservoirs, twenty miles out from anywhere, disappearing near unnoticed after a day or two. Ah. memories.

I think I said it up there in the thread somewhere - but that bit of Wales is one of my most favourite places in the world. I have been to CAT a load of times, I used to go camping just a bit further up with an ex girlfriend, and have loads and loads of happy memories of the area myself.

And it is just beautiful.

 

[sojourner]

Course you can

We could go halves on a twin room instead though - 30 squid each, warm, with a bog, nice big welsh brekky on the Sunday morning...

 

[fogbat]

Perhaps it would be worth assembling a selection of PROD-related stock Welsh phrases?

I'll be happy to translate

Oh, that is not so bad, actually.

£30 I can do.

 

[William of Walworth]

Blimey! It's possible? we could make this -- quite a long way from Swansea but you never know ....

I bet there is PONIES!!!

I'm sure there are shit loads of places that you could stay - if someone contacts the Tourist Information place in Aberystwyth they could probably advise - not sure if there one in Machylleth
