Guest Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 As it's unlikey that we'll be able to sort our own rally this year we could all go on mass to an already established event. We were thinking The Welsh National because it's a simply stunning event. It's the 2nd bank holiday in May each year and is well worth the trip.There's live music, shows throughout the day, pubs with entertainment, shops stalls etc...We've been 3 years in a row and only missed it last year coz we were moving house.Loads of camping facilities and opportunity for some fab rideouts too.So wot d'ya think?

Guest Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 I'm happy to organise going if anyone is interested. We usually go up on the Friday night after work and come back on the Sunday later or the Monday morning, but anything goes so if u can only make it for a day...u can get a day pass etc... Quote
Guest nastro azzurro Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 Oh n i am allegic to the welsh, but that will only make it the more sweeter in us hi-jacking thier rally!!!!! Quote
pumilio Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 Sounds interesting and the timing would be pretty good for us. Has anyone from here gone to this with kids? Quote
Guest Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 We haven't been with kids so far, but will be doing this year.We've also been with friends who have taken their kids. If there's a reasonable amount of us going...keeping the wee ones entertained won't be a problem. Quote

Guest Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 There's an outside chance I might be providing emergency cover at Builth and Anglesey this year. Quote

Guest akey Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 I will have to go as willow cant drive the van when its towing a trailer !!!!If only she had passed her test a year earlier 3 days and nights of live music, yagermeister (and the yagermeister girls), entertainment in a live arena (usually an extreame mx team or something) entertainment under cover, custom show (not all chrome some outstanding streetfighters and stuff as well) and loads of great stands etc.Oh and did I mention live music in 3 or 4 different bars every night, and lots and lots of drink - always good value too. Oh and proper toilets and showers as well!!!!!!There is always the option to head out to ride some outstanding roads over the weekend as well (hence the trailer for the bikes).If I get time later on I will chuck up some pics from 2005 so you can see the sort of thing.
