Mille Cymru - Welsh 1000 - 23-26/07/2010

[JohnHamilton]

For info, I was planning on packing a mummy sack (i.e. sleeping bag liner) amongst other things (such as change of clothes, hygiene stuff and spares).  It's only a 600+400.  No biggie 

Spot on. Really, everything you need should fit in a small rucksack or pannier. The 4 of us fit all our stuff into two panniers last weekend (OK we didn't have sleeping bag as we were in the hostel but had everything else).

Now to go and buy lots of food this weekend...

[thing1]

Good info about bags, was wondering the same myself.
If you need more 4 socket extensions I can bring some to leave at Upton M for transport down there. I'll probably put them in the car anyway and we can sort it out Thurs. eve.

Given all this talk of chaps wondering around in their chaps, I'm wondering if I should be booking alternative accom for us, so the hall can be kept as a Man Only environment?
(Only thing stopping me booking accom is the Extra Faff of check in / out and being separated from the bag drop and Food Supplies)

The rainlegs thing was a reference to some Italians on LEL.

[thing1]

OK. I guess some Italians haven't found Wales yet, so the other Thing's sensibilities should be safe

There is something very confusing about this post from thing1 ...

I imagine mrs. jogler will be pleased NOT to see chaps wandering about in chaps.

With just a week to go I wondered what we had learnt from last weekends helper's ride so hereare a few thoughts that I hope may prove helpful :-
Resist the temptation to accept the local's hospitality at the Masons Arms at Cilgerran.
They have been primed to expect you and will no doubt be offering encouragement or sympathy as required.
However I can confirm that the Hancocks HB is kept in excellent condition and slipped down a treat.
 
If you are going to leave anything behind (like a phone) I can recommend CK's Foodstore at St. Davids who have been very helpful in returning it.

Don't eat too much at Pendine as the next section will test your legs and any extra weight will slow you down. Snacking little and often would seem to be the answer.

Nurofen is on special offer at the Spar shop as you enter Aberystwyth (and presumably other locations) so it may be worth stocking up

Please let me know if you have any other questions and I will do my best to answer them.

At Vrnyw, is the control cafe the first one, with the big car park? Called Artisan, or something

I've had a look at streetview and can't see one with the same name as on the routesheet

[mattc]

Control @ Caffi'r Hen Ysgubor on R

would be my guess.

[Hot Flatus]

I can read the f'ing routesheet. I can't see a cafe of same name on streetview.

Follow past Artisan's and fork right into courtyard after about 150 metres

Edit: Where the bike hire is...

"Caffi'r Hen Ysgubor - 01691 870377. Located next to the Tourist Information Centre."

[Millepete]

The control is at the visitor's centre cafe which is about 150m down from the junction on the RHS.
They are opening especially early just for you.

The google street view picture for the pendine control is rather loverly

Lets hope there are some leaves on the trees by the time you folks get there

I am trying to find out if the Juniper SSG 520 series (running 6.2.0 ScreenOs) really can support AS Path Prepend and route redistribution through AS Access Lists and route maps or if this is just a falacy.

It looks like it should but I need to be sure.

Thanks in advance.

I'm trialling with the  A4 paper system, with

Code: [Select]

folded-in-half turned on.

Possibly using an aftermarket rain-cover device, depending on met-officce updates.

Retro technology is cool again, dude - keep up with the young'uns!

True, in so far as to keep up with you, one has actually to be going backwards.

No wonder your bike is cracking up, if you're dragging one of these around with you. AS Path Prepend tips are here. It's better routing packets than maps, for sure.

Yeah.... given that Emma will be the only female, it could all get a bit Straw Dogs in that hall.

Just a quick post to wish Bon Voyage and plenty of tailwind, and as little rain as possible to all the M1KCers.

I'm sorry not to be with you, be it at a control or on a bike (though I'm not sure how I would have lasted!), but I shall be with a youth group on Bardsey Island  - off the end of the Lleyn Peninsula! (no electric or flush toilets - aargh!!!)

You'll be in my thoughts and prayers!

[Tewdric]

Are most people going for a two-stop strategy then, or is a third sleep at LLanwrtyd on the plans?  I'm wondering who will get in during the early (8pm-4am) shift at the finish!

That's not fair. I expect other companies use Juniper products too.
