Hi All,
I'm looking to organise my first run.........
Starting from just outside Shrewsbury to Barmouth, approx. 160 miles.
I know most of the route well, but may tweak the return leg following a dry run.
I'm considering Sunday 29th June.
I won't be organising a Saturday run as its a reasonable run for me just to the start, which will also be the finish - Dinkys Dinahs, The Layby,
Shrewsbury, SY5 9LG.
Meet at 9:30 for a 10:00 start.
If anyone is interested please let me know and I'll get it on the run sign ups page.
Cheers Vaughan |

Sounds good, though in the current climate I think there will be more of a tendency to run away from the seaside  |

I'd say it's a strong possibility - I haven't been that way round that loop for years, always seem to go the other way round for some reason

I would probably be up for this run. I also may need to find B&B nearer to the start.

Might give this one a go as it seems there is not to be a Derbyshire based outing this year. Assuming my dicky ticker is feeling up to it.

Spent many a happy holiday around Barmouth / Dyffryn in my youth. The beach we used to go to in Dyffryn is now a naturist reserve - I believe some spectacular t1ts can be seen there at certain times of the year  For those of you looking for accommodation, there is a Travelodge on the Bayston Hill roundabout on the A5 just south of Shrewsbury - and there's a fuel station right next to it so you can fill up at start of the journey. It's only about 6 miles from there to the start point (and you'll probably get a better breakfast at Dinky's than you ever will at a Travelodge  ) I've pencilled this one in but can't make any promises yet. If I do make it I will probably have to peel off before the end (at Sarn, and carry on to Newtown and back down the A483). |

The beach between dyffryn and shell island has been an unofficial naturist beach for at least 30 years I too spent a good percentage of my childhood in dyffryn after my grandad bought a static caravan there, hope the site has become more biker friendly since I was last there  Martin, you have a Pm ;-) Sent from my ST27i using proboards |

We used to love playing in those sand dunes and watching the aircraft taking off from the small airfield right next to the site. |

Ill either be in Chester or Doncaster on Saturday 28th.....and Ill be going to Ffos las on Monday 30th...Chester would make it easier but even if Im in Doncaster I could head off early to make the start....whats the availability of B&B's like down there ?...I wont be taking my tent as I need to be able to lock everything up in the panniers and top box while Im at the racing or I would have used the campsite ian has put the link up for.
