Not A Royal Wedding camping trip

[SlowCoach]

Churches are cheaper for midweek weddings, innit?

This could be a major consideration. After a previous Royal Wedding (in the 1920s?) the brides parents had to sell one of their houses - Streetlam Castle so they could pay the bill (no - I'm not a monarchist - but Streetlam is local history for me).

Mrs MV points out that the thread title is probably wrong - the Big Day will likely be midweek...

Gits!  Just goes to show those bladdy royals can't be trusted to help ordinary people.  Aux armes, citoyens!

Quels armes? La Queen's Armes, ou Le Carpenter's Armes, ou peut-être Le Maçon's Armes?

Good point.  A royal funeral would probably be at the weekend.

You might have corrected the speeling.

Wedding date announced as Friday 29th of April.

[clarion]

Long weekend, then?

Brevet Cymru weekend  

bastards.

OK, camping is still go, but I may vanish for the Saturday  


edit:

it's OK, there's a piss-easy 400 from Cardiff the week before for my PBP qualifier.  I can ride that and then ride the BC400 as a perm in the week after. 

[peliroja]

We're interested. Woolly will hopefully be getting some weekends off in the New Year (hurray!) so date-permitting, we're in. 

[SlowCoach]

Wedding date announced as Friday 29th of April.

So that's:

Friday 22nd April - Bank Holiday - Good Friday
Monday 25th April - Bank Holiday - Easter Monday
Friday 29th April - Bank Holiday in honour of a YACF Camping Weekend
Monday 2nd May - Bank Holiday - May Day

Somehow, I think that I, along with millions of others, may not be allowed the YACF Camping Day (I've already lost the May Day    ). Four bank holidays in 2 weeks seems a bit much.

However, for those that can make it - it makes a 4 day weekend  

[vorsprung]

Excellent timing and doesn't collide with any events I had planned to do for PBP qualification

[corshamjim]

That weekend is bound to be a busy one for my wife - a registrar of marriages - so I would hope I'll be free no problem. 

[bikepacker]

Unless I get an invite (you never know) I may join you.

[Chris N]

There might be a bike show in Bristol that weekend too, which would make a nice day out.

A bit of uncertainty about the show though

I may come along, tho I would have to ride to New Quay on Saturday.

[border-rider]

That's an interesting point.  We may have to facilitate some of our number taking a trip to the seaside on the Saturday.  That would work - we aren't that far from Chepstow.  Less than 20k, and mostly downhill

Brevet Cymru weekend  

and Severn Across; see you all at Chepstow Tescos

[Redlight]

just been advised that my good lady might be officiating at the abbey so no chance of me getting out unless I can find a republican babysitter

[Butterfly]

(I'd offer, but I want to camp, sorry ) Why not bring your republican baby with you?

[Wowbagger]

Bump.

I've just bought some train tickets.

Out to Bristol Parkway on the Thurs (arrive 1.04), back from Chepstow on the Monday (depart 10.49).

Total cost £50 for 2.

[Kim]

Hmm, good point.  I was working on the assumption that this was within riding distance, but in light of the ongoing knee situation, trains might be prudent.

Ah, off-peak return from Mordor Central to Chepstow is 27 quid.  That's okay then, can decide nearer the time, and not have to worry about specific trains.
