Dirty Weekend Brecon June 10th/11th/12th - 2011

[Speicher]

I noticed that the cottages have dishwashers, useful for after all those post ride cups of coffee.

I wrote quite a bit on here about the cottages at Pencelli Parc, based on the details in a Brecon Beacons Cottages brochure.

Long story short, Pencelli Parc Cottages cannot be booked through Brecon Beacon Cottages.

It makes sense that anyone preferring s/c cottages is on the same site as the people who like tents.

Lukesdad can you ask if the cottages have secure bike storage please.

Will do.

I'll Pencelli tin my diary...

...I could see a proper Welsh hill climb being organised in your honour sir

Ooh, just spotted this. No idea what my plans are for next June but the Brecon Beacons is an old stomping ground of mine and I'd love to come if I'm free. I've done loads of walking in the area but never cycled.

Oh! How considerate Mark!

("Crazy chef kills innocent gentleman on Welsh hillside"...only sheep were witnesses to this callous incident, as they chewed on their favourite sweets - baa humbugs).

Right - which is easier? To convince myself that I don't need to go on this weekend, as it'll probably be full of mountain bike types and I only have a road machine, or to convince my lovely wife to loose her husband for another weekend? Or persuade her to come with me, even though she doesn't cycle?

I'm going to MTB, but am more of a Roadie A few have shown interest in road riding above already.

Convince your wife she needs a rest from you

I'm not an MTB type. I'll be riding on the roads. But neither am I a roadie .

Can I suggest another option, buy a mtb, what's not to like

 

[lukesdad]

Hello!

This sounds like fun (camping aside). I'll play it by ear or a while as that weekend is my Dad's birthday, but I might well get away with it...

 

[GilesM]

Definately can't plan that far ahead, I'll just try to make sure I'm available nearer the time.

It's a very posh campsite with a good boozer right by the entrance, it's not exactly roughing it in the wild.
