Weekend away in August?

I've been to Cardiff and it's quite great. Pretty much brand new facilities (Heated floors in the Showers! & an escalator belt that brings you from the harbour to the top of the course without the need to leave your boat)...
If I recall correctly, it was £5/10 for a bib and the bib gives you the right to use the course as often as you would like for a day...

And Cardiff has mountains which one can climb, I hear.

So what you're saying is that you could have a 6pack in your boat, run the course six times and have a chilled out beer while being brought back to the top?? sweeeet

If the dates are good, I'll more than likely head too

Bill C · May 23, 2011, 19:17:59

I like the way you think.

Eoghan · May 23, 2011, 19:18:04

Nottingham's actually closer..I'm up for either though!!

it sounds to good to be true...

Really looking forward to it - also if there's decent water while we're over there's quite a few rivers in wales..

I'd really like to go. Just got to get back in a boat first cause it's been awhile!
I wouldn't be able to go weekend of the 13th august, but free every other weekend.

Hehe, gonna be fun fun fun!!!

Bill C · May 25, 2011, 23:19:40

Sounds like a good date to me. Mid-August us the time-period I like too. Anyone else have thoughts on the timing, and for how long? Weekend, extended weekend or week?

Eoghan · May 25, 2011, 23:44:53

Once its after the 5th of August i'm happy...

i'd be up for making a trip of it if people were interested..we could get to both courses and some rivers in beetween if there was water - or we could just go for a weekend... i'm just dying to get out PADDLING!!! there's been quite a bit of water recently, me likey..

Unfortunately it's been the falling from the sky variety as opposed to the running in the rivers variety.

Agreed...

Rachel · June 20, 2011, 22:19:41

I'm definitely interested in this. Once people pick dates I can take time off work for it.

Tiny Tim · June 25, 2011, 11:16:20

what about 12/13/14 august?

caz · June 28, 2011, 10:41:56

Hey guys I'm off work for the last three weeks of August and would love to come along on something like this if there's space?

Karen · June 28, 2011, 13:19:15

I'm free most of the time, and can offer space to passengers

Bill C · June 28, 2011, 16:34:45

I'm game! I can take passengers too. I'll look into this trip tomorrow evening. Get your thinking caps on peeps!
