Right, this is now to the point where we have enough people saying they want to do it to make it worth my while organising.
I will get a date that best suits everyone and then go about finding B&B’s or Hostels at the 2 Stop over Points.
What I need from all those that are up for it is an idea on whether or not you would fancy a Dorm style Hostel with Bunk Beds and about 5-10 of us in one room (Boys & Girls separate) or you would prefer me to Find a B&B with 2 per room? if we do the Dorm Style accommodation we will all get in the one place. If we do it B&B we may all end up in different properties, but that’s not a problem as we can meet in a local pub for the evening as we are only putting our heads down in the overnight Accommodation and not really spending any time there.
Also once it’s decided and I find the accommodation I may need to pay a deposit (shouldn’t be too much considering it’s not going to be more than £20 per night anyway) so may need to ask you all for a little contribution towards the Deposit to confirm your Place (so that if I pay it and you don’t turn up I don’t loose out)
Doing Steve’s Tuscany tour in June, not sure I’ll have any hols left, but may pop up to meet you lot for the sat/sun bit if that’s cool?? Bro also doing a Normandy trip around then, so it may clash…
Can everybody do Friday May 29th to Monday 1st June?
This way it is before the School Holidays so the Roads will be quitter (spelling?), it will be (hopefully) decent weather and it will be easier to get time off work as the School Holiday Embargo won’t be in effect.
I will look into prices for this date for B&B’s to get an idea.
we may have to consider Hostels. All the B&B’s in the areas we are going are pretty full and I doubt we will get all of us in.
I’ve found a Hostel for our first stopover in Tenby that we can have 2 x Dorms with 3 Bunks in each so sleeps 6 in each room (a Boys room & a Girls room) and it works out to £27 per person for the Friday night.
Then the 2nd Night stopover in Caernarfon will be the same with regards to the B&B’s, there are a few dotted around but most are already booked up, so the Hostel in that spot is £29 for the night. it is at the summit of Snowdon so is in the perfect spot for our 2nd days riding.
Then if we decide to stop off at Monmouth on the 3rd night or just do a full days riding back home there is a Hotel available in a Weatherspoons Pub which would take us all and woks out to about £30 per person
So…
If we decide to go on this date we can get Accomodation for the whole weekend for around £100 (which I think is really good)
