Car Forum / Land Rover Cars / May 2006October Unofficial
When - October 27th 28th 29th 2006 Where - Across the sea at Anglesey http://www.ottadventures.co.uk/off_road.htm How (much)- Depends on what you do but basic off roading one day £23.50 , or two days inc two nights camping £35 What - Offroading, Camping, Tank Driving , Survival , Paintballing etc etc Why - Why not :-) I'm sure I can sort a reccie if the interest is sufficent. This is the site that the video earlier in the week which I linked, they have now updated the site as linked above. Good road access across North Wales, Fantasic scenary. We can always find a freindly camp site if the facilities (shelter, showers) are lacking at this place and your never too far from a beach... Ok it'll be October but at least we can fly a kite.

Ok, heard from Dot Lamb: Re: tour numbers - Hello Austin Shackles The weekend of 28th/29th October is in the school half term break and will be very busy So please book as soon a possible - minimum numbers do not apply for this period Re: sprogs - Hello Austin Shackles Children must be able to wear the safety helmets underground - if they fit and the child is willing to keep them on then that is OK If they don't fit (too large) then one parent can stay on the bus with the child and only miss part of the tour Hope this helps Regards Dot Lamb I presume they have small sized helmets - it'd lose too much trade if no anklebiters got to do it.

The art treasures weren't at LLanberis - they were stored at Manod Quarry, near Blaenau Ffestiniog. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/north_west/4666237.stm The quarry at Llanberis, at SH 571 611 was used to store munitions. There was a roof collapse, and a load of bombs were buried. It's a long time since I was last there. I have hear rumours that the fence has been fixed recently. There were also plans to turn the quarry into a snow dome with rotating real snow slopes. http://www.snowdonia-active.com/news.asp?newsid=392 which still seem to be progressing.
