N. Wales weekend 17th/18th Sept

[Pool Boy]

Gaynor, Andy, Carol & I are discussing putting together a weekend in September based near Chester.
Very much in the embrionic stages just yet, one idea is for an afternoon run into Shropshire / Cheshire on the Saturday afternoon and a day round N. Wales on Sunday to end around Shrewsbury / Telford sort of area.
We've got accomodation in mind with a decent restaurant next door (but no camping as yet - does anyone camp in September?).
Also found a reasonable starting point that should be easily accessible to all and has a good range of facilities.

Now then.... I'm one of the worst culprits for not 'signing up' to runs because work often changes at short notice so I prefer to just turn up without signing up beforehand.
I realise that this isn't entirely helpful to run organisers but I generally only do it when the run is so popular that it will go ahead regardless of my attending or not.

But... what we need to know is whether there's enough interest in a weekend in this part of the country at that time of the year ?
If no-one's interested we won't need to arrange the details but if even a few show some interest we'll fine tune it.
So please express interest (or not) so we can gauge response (without any commitment on your part).

I wish to express my interest to your embryonic proposal Rog

This is close enough for me to pop down to from home so count me in for at least one of the days. It'll give my wife time to make sure she is not working all weekend

Go on count me in as interested (saves Dave and myself organising one).

If that's the case I could possibly be embryonically interested as well.

We are interested in being a possibility

Pencil me in ;D
I had this area down as a 'must do' in my Grand Tour.
Be good to combine it with a visit to friendly faces.

I'm interested ;D

Well that's all very encouraging - thanks chaps
I think we'll call this one a go-er and start making some plans!

That was at least part of the idea - give you guys a break. Not sure we can match your high standards but we'll give it a go.

But there again I don't do test runs anymore, I just go with the wind; and trust me I have a lot of wind to go with.

Yes I can verify that Dave is a big bag O wind, well when he has his leathers on and it can`t escape that is.
In fact there are a few on a Tuesday night that will also tell you he has a lot of wind, just glad I don`t have a sense of smell like the others.

I'll scrap my plans for the 24th-25th then, save me a load of petrol on test runs.

Not stepping on any toes are we?
Happy to defer to experience if you've got plans made already.
Or then again, why not have a run 2 wekends running ?

Duly counted.
