Mid Wales Spring Run 27th April 2013

[J12MOC]

Big thanks Mike for a great route and everyone else for a great time. Really appreciate all the hard work
If I ever follow Cockers again it'll be with the roof up - I've a car full of gravel and my ears still sore from chipping impacts. Great stuff Ventureshield!!
Looking forward to Molly's run now.

Just got in after a more leisurely drive home via Starbucks, Starbucks oh, and Starbucks

Would like to thank the organisers for a brilliant day and would also like to thank everyone for their hospitality, we were made very welcome.

Saw Linsay in petrol station with Plod, hopefully he didn't get done for anything?

Really looking forward to next jaunt

Thanks again to everyone, especially for the ski holiday destination that has sort of slipped my memory

Good to see you in action mate........I don't think there was a wife / girlfriend / mistress / bar staff that you didn't speak with.

In fairness he was warned by you last night

I'm not listening to you, you're just cranky because of your £750 hotel bill

He sat in mine, started it and messed with the sat nav - never seen a grin so wide

I hope you all enjoyed yourselves and get back home OK

I have a video of a section only the front group did I'll post later

BTW who was in the Blue Vantage that was having a "chat" with plod in the BP station in Newton?
Jockman did that unmarked plod pull anyone?

Thanks again

Will keep snooping on here... We just bought a Disco3 Land Rover... so I am really on wrong part of this forum
I am glad to see so many of you have enjoyed Mid Wales and hope you all come back one day to the best part of the Cambrian Mountains

Will echo all of the above and say a BIG thanks to Mr K for organising, and hope Mrs K feels better soon.

Despite being late arrivals last night, we had a great day today and are now back at the hotel and making a weekend of it.

Great roads (esp the Elan Valley), wonderful cars (to quote RobGT "we're a lucky bunch of bds") and the company wasn't too shabby either.

@Nick, guess who's parked next to me outside, and sitting 5 metres away from me in the bar?....

...Red S-Type!! Still doesn't look happy.

Lewis, hope you get your appetite back soon. For the sake of the British food industry, at least. And sort out the Scone Specialist!
Cockers, how were the Brecons?
Jockers, how's the credit card?!

Good to see you all. Until the next one...

Adam (& Romi)

And what a road the A44 is back to the M5

+1
I hooked up with sukh after the diversion - Did you hit that rain storm
I think maybe sukh needs to MTFU unless Mindy was advising him
The run has finished off my rear tyres - I needed a 'splash and dash to get home' and noticed while fuelling up the outer shoulders have...well...GONE!!
Maybe its due to me having 'refound' my bks on the way to BR - thanks for the compliment...git...
Yet another great weekend. The roads and company were once again first class.
Top job from Mikey and his organisational skills

[mikey k]

Tony thanks for being rear gunner for me today top job!
