Ok Here goes! My route home from north is as follows; follow the A483 to Newtown, Go STAIGHT through Newtown and you hit the A489 which becomes the A470 at Caersws ( at the railway crossing) follow the A470 till you come to a roundabout, third exit for Llanidloes, Texaco Garage on the right, (I sugguest you fill up here for the following days ride out, be nice to all have full tanks and no messing about in the morning) From the garage next mini roundabout take the second exit through the town straight past the tudor type town hall, the road goes round to the right and then to the left, 100yds and you will see a left turn the B4518,just past that turning is a CO OP supermarket, last minute stock up as there are no shops in the village for fags etc! although Rhayader is only 3 miles from the campsite, Follow the B4518 all the way to Pant Y dwr. Be very careful on this road as there are some surprising bends and in places, gravel has washed onto the road! the road you have sugguested from the A483 is a bloody mare!!! Trust me!! look out for the Yellow "BM" arrows from llanidloes and Rhayader, Safe trip and see you soon!

TDO - we're in the bunkhouse - probably arriving 8.30. Will it be worth dropng off the bikes/gear first then heading for the mid-wales pub or will that be too late - so stock up on beer and have a drink at the bunkhouse??
Slidy - we will be going through CM, there's a nice little cafe/coffee shop on the main road we could meet there for a coffee?

Just as a heads up for you guys going from the Midlands!!

It is the V festival at Weston Park this weekend so there is going to be a fair bit of traffic around on the Friday and Sunday!!

Be careful out there and ride safe all.

@ big al, don't worry! most of the locals dont turn up at the pub till 10 30 anyway! and we have a tradition that we NEVER leave the pub on the same day as we got there! so no worries! Pm me and i'll put my landline number if you need a lift, I'll be on the wagon as working on friday so no worries!
