Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Llanfair Date: 30 Aug 01 - 06:50 PM Hmm, you're one to talk, Eric!!! October 12th, 13th and 14th are the dates, and the venue is Llanfair Caereinion, which is about 10 miles west of Welshpool, North Powys. Everyone is welcome, it's accommodation that can be tricky. The railway haven't got back to me yet, but I'm hoping they are going to allow camping on their bit of grass. The train will be running that weekend, so people can do the trip if they want to. Costs about £15 return to Welshpool. All we need now is a bar, and we've cracked it!! I've been told that there have been bookings at Pippins already. If anyone needs phone numbers for B&B, let me know, because some that advertise as being in Llanfair are a few miles out, and those few miles can be critical if everyone has been drinking. WARNING there is NO public transport in the area, unless you count the bws post. Cheers, Bron. |

Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Noreen Date: 06 Sep 01 - 10:17 AM The first thread about Llanstock 2001 can be found by clicking here (messages=99). For those who don't know, The first UK Mudcat weekend gathering took place this time last year in Llanfair Caereinion, 10 miles west of Welshpool, North Powys, Wales. Whilst Bron (Llanfair) was planning and coordinating the event, it took on a life of its own, and a relation suggested that it was Llanfair's own version of Woodstock, hence Llanstock. Llanstock Mk 1 was more successful than I think anyone could have imagined, and many great friendships were made which have continued and developed over further mudcat gatherings since, drawing more mudcat friends in along the way. Mudcat history buffs might like to re-read the original threads where the idea of a 3D mudcat UK gathering was first hesitantly suggested... |

Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Eric the Viking Date: 06 Sep 01 - 01:59 PM On the other hand they might like to read a story book, but then they'd miss out on a bloody excellent meeting/gathering, the first and foremost Mudcat gathering, which spawned all others including the Mudcat germany trip and the mudcat europeon gathering 2001. You'd be better to read the threads people and see what you have missed and might be able to get to this year! Cheers Eric |

Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Llanfair Date: 06 Sep 01 - 04:13 PM Nicely done there, Noreen, couldn't have put it better myself! We're going to have a great weekend. Bar should be finalised tomorrow, also potential campsite. Don't forget that B&B in the town is scarce, but there are people happy for mudcatters to use their spare bedrooms. Contact me if you need accommodation. Cheers, Bron. |

Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 06 Sep 01 - 08:21 PM OK, I think I have more than enough in my car now.... bearing in mind I have child with me..... LTS |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: alanww Date: 07 Sep 01 - 06:51 AM Hi Bron Noreen says I shouldn't miss this one! But where does one stay? I think Noreen has asked about space in the Trailer Trash - has it any room for me too? "She worn no jewels, no costly diamonds ...!" Alan |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Noreen Date: 07 Sep 01 - 09:56 AM Alan, if your quote refers, as it must do in the circumstances to Patrish, (Hi Pat!), it continues: no paints or powders, No wonder accommodation in the trailer is in great demand! Noreen |

Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Date: 09 Sep 01 - 01:14 PM I am hoping to go, it depends if I can get time off work,If I go I will be happy to give lifts to anyone from/near Hull. |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Trevor Date: 10 Sep 01 - 05:23 AM Hello. If anybody needs accommodation I have plenty of room and live 20-30 minutes away, and so does Keith who is about 10 minutes away. Cheers. |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: alanww Date: 10 Sep 01 - 06:14 AM I am still awaiting the possibility of the Trailer Trash but do you mean walking or driving? "I can hear the tramp of feet, Dolly Gray ...!" Alan |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: MudGuard Date: 10 Sep 01 - 06:29 AM Ok, I just got permission from my boss to come, so I will come. Bron, I would need about 1m by 2.2m (3'3" by 7'3") of floor space to sleep on - I can bring sleeping bag and camping mattress. If you could organise that for me, Bron, I'd be very grateful! I'd also need some help in getting there - can somebody pick me up at an airport and drop me there on the return? Birmingham is the closest, but London Stansted (cheapest flights land there), Manchester is also possible. Of course I will pay part of gasoline/petrol or whatever your car needs. |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: GUEST,micca at work Date: 10 Sep 01 - 06:35 AM Alan, PM me, I may be able to help about accomo. I dont have your e-mail... |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Trevor Date: 10 Sep 01 - 06:45 AM Afraid it's a drive. |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Morticia Date: 10 Sep 01 - 11:14 AM Anyone needing a lift from the west of the M25 can PM me as I have a grown-ups big car now and can easily accommodate 4 and instruments. |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Morticia Date: 10 Sep 01 - 11:15 AM sorry, that was misleading ( I blame the 'flu).I will already have Kendall and Gomez(if he can get the time off) so can fit in one or maybe even two more. |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Eric the Viking Date: 10 Sep 01 - 01:54 PM Hi all, any chance of me being "trailer trash" this year as Red Lion not doing B&B and Pippins starting to sound full up. Please if I stay, keep me safe from skip as I wouldn't want the sheep to get jealous. Andy,let us know how and what arrangements are being made for your arrival airport and arrival time. So the whole of the UK can be on standby to pick you up etc. I look to be having a problem getting transport myself this year as kids need car early on Sunday morning and saturday afternoon. Cheers Eric |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: MudGuard Date: 10 Sep 01 - 03:09 PM Erik, I thought about doing it the other way round - I wanted to see where I can be picked up and book a flight to that airport. MudGuard (Andy) |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 10 Sep 01 - 04:43 PM Mudguard - haven't we already discussed this? Or am I muddling you with someone. I thought we were going to pick you up from Stanstead as it is only an hour or so away from us. Re: Pippins - I called them this afternoon, and although she has booked all the rooms in readiness for the weekend, she (sorry her name escapes me) she needs confirmation as to who is staying where, so give them a ring, you may be lucky and not get the room with Micca! LTS |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: GUEST,Sam Pirt Date: 10 Sep 01 - 04:46 PM Looking forward to it!!!! Cheers, Sam |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Llanfair Date: 10 Sep 01 - 05:44 PM By gum, things are hotting up!!! The trailer, I think, holds 8 normal people, so that makes 23 mudcatters..............!!!!!! Julia (Pippins) is recovering from eye surgery, and is therefore not her usual organised self. There is accommodation in other places, and I am hoping to get finalisation of camping space tomorrow. All We need now is a bar. And I'm on to that as well. According to this thread, there's Eric, Alan, Noreen, Skip, Bill and Sam in the trailer so far. That should leave room for Mudguard, provided he doesnt plan to sleep at all!!! If sleep is necessary, there are spare beds being offered by friends. Any more questions? Cheers, Bron. |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Eric the Viking Date: 10 Sep 01 - 06:18 PM Well, I could sign in a guest! (only joking-some of them cause too much nastiness) But what a combination for the trailer !! We'll never get to sleep, have an all night session- Hope nobody rocks the trailer or we'll think were back on a ferry. Thanks for reserving me a trailer trash place-just about right for me. Cheers Eric |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Snuffy Date: 10 Sep 01 - 07:46 PM Is there room in the trailer for me? I hope to be travelling up with Alanww. Wassail! V |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: MudGuard Date: 11 Sep 01 - 02:33 AM Bron, trailer is ok for me! Liz, no we didn't finalize as I was not sure about coming before my bicycle trip. But thanks for picking me up! I am really looking forward to it (not only to Llanstock, but also to meeting you)! For when should I book the flights? Friday morning to Stansted I guess - I can also take the train to London if that makes things easier for you. Return flight from Stansted to Munich on Sunday evening or Monday afternoon? (Depends on when Llanstock ends and when you are heading back to London - I got the Monday off after some discussions with my boss). MudGuard/Andy |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 11 Sep 01 - 02:53 AM Andy - I'm taking the Friday and Monday off too, so it's best to use those days. The drive from here to Wales is about 4-5 hours, we will stop for T & P on the way. Tell me your flights when you get them and we can go from there. Monday afternoon is definately best, and it gives you the morning to sample our delightful London air (or go to Saffron Walden, which is nicer)!! LTS |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: MudGuard Date: 11 Sep 01 - 03:06 AM Ok, will be at the travel agency this afternoon. I will give you the flight details as soon as I have them. What stands T&P for? My English is not good enough to know that, but my guess would be: Tea & Getting rid of Tea? MudGuard/Andy |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: GUEST,Patrish Date: 11 Sep 01 - 03:28 AM I see that my behaviour last year has excluded me from the trailer........ ah well. Patrish who is not good enough to be trailer trash ;-( |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Llanfair Date: 11 Sep 01 - 04:12 AM Sorry, Pat, of course there is a corner for you in the trailer. That makes 9. I'll pop over today to make sure there's space. I wonder how many more people require a bed? Please post here so I can find space for you. People who decide to come last-minute will have to take pot-luck. Cheers, Bron. |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: MudGuard Date: 11 Sep 01 - 05:54 AM People who decide to come last-minute will have to take pot-luck. What a luck the last-minuters have to get some pot to take ;-) MudGuard/Andy |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Skipjack K8 Date: 11 Sep 01 - 06:34 AM Oh no, not Pat & the mystery melodeon case!!! I think it would be wise to heed the helpful HM Govt advice on further foot and mouth restrictions, and put Eric in the quarantine zone (the bedroom), as a spokesperson for the ovine community has reported suspected blisters on his phizogg! Terry (K, not Morty, peace be on her name) are you coming, old buddy? Skipjack |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Terry K Date: 11 Sep 01 - 07:36 AM Hi Greg! - with a fair tide and a following wind there's a good chance - see you at the bar! Cheers, Terry |

Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Noreen Date: 11 Sep 01 - 07:54 AM Snuffy, as long as Alan can give you a suitable character reference... |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Morticia Date: 11 Sep 01 - 09:23 AM to get a suitable character reference to qualify as trailer trash usually requires the police.... |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Snuffy Date: 11 Sep 01 - 09:24 AM Guess that's me out then! **BG** |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: alanww Date: 11 Sep 01 - 09:28 AM Yes, Snuffy's a singing, snuff-taking morrisman/folky, CAMRA member, miserable, grey bearded (nearly), old bugger - JUST LIKE ME! "Look at the coffin with golden handles, isn't it grand boys to be ...!" Alan |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Eric the Viking Date: 11 Sep 01 - 01:57 PM So, it's quarrentine for me is it me bucko Skip? You'll not be having your wicked way with me then!!!! (Oh all right if you pay this time!!) Bedroom is fine for me Bron, thanks. Patrish how can you not stay the trialer trash or do you think you've moved up in the social scene since you got employment at Windy B ? I hope you are coming Morty, twill be nice to see you and Gomez again. What about Terry -last name not known, are you coming? Terrible news about what happened in America today. Cheers Eric |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Noreen Date: 11 Sep 01 - 04:34 PM Snuffy, please note that I didn't say you needed a good character reference, but a suitable character reference... Are you bringing your best frock? And what colour are your toenails at the moment? The truth, now! Noreen |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Mrs.Duck Date: 11 Sep 01 - 06:17 PM Will there be anywhere to park the caravan Bron? |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Snuffy Date: 11 Sep 01 - 06:18 PM Best frock? You're lucky - I've only got one! As for my toenails - "no paint nor powder, no none at all..." Wassail! V |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Llanfair Date: 12 Sep 01 - 04:17 AM Yes, Mrs Duck, the Welshpool and Llanfair light railway have spaces for caravans again this year. And a campsite for very intrepid 'catters. Cheers, Bron. |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: MudGuard Date: 12 Sep 01 - 07:11 AM Liz, I booked flights for Friday morning and Monday evening (flight LH4794, arriving Stansted at 7:25 and flight LH4705 leaving Stansted at 19:10) I guess you don't want to come to Stansted that early, so if you PM me your address I will make my way to you (depending on the time you want to start I can throw in a bit of London sightseeing as well). I thoughtlessly deleted your PM from about a month ago. Same goes for Monday, I think I will catch the train back to Stansted from London. |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Les from Hull Date: 12 Sep 01 - 03:42 PM If anyone could give us a lift from Hull, or some place with a railway station, and if someone could point out a place where we could stay Maggie and I would like to come. And if someone could sing our songs for us while we're there... Les |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Llanfair Date: 12 Sep 01 - 04:41 PM I'll find you both somewhere to sleep, but you sing your own songs!!!!!! Cheers, Bron. |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Noreen Date: 12 Sep 01 - 07:26 PM I'll sing the French songs from Maggie's scary book if you send me the words, Les... :0) I'll pick you both up from a handy station, if you don't get a lift. Noreen |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Date: 12 Sep 01 - 08:12 PM Les-I am not sure if I am going yet, but if I do you are very welcome to a lift. |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Noreen Date: 12 Sep 01 - 08:15 PM Book the weekend off, John.. you'll love it! |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Date: 12 Sep 01 - 08:19 PM I will try, but it might be difficult (I have had a lot of time off work recently and we are getting busy). |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Llanfair Date: 13 Sep 01 - 04:58 PM Let's get down to some serious decision-making!!!!! The new landlord of the Red Lion will confirm wether he will do the bar for us on both nights. He said it would be easier if he only provided non-real ale brews, because they travel better. He has some "Cloud Nine" at the moment, hand made in Church Stretton, but it needs a few days to settle if it'd moved. You can get it at the pub, and he has no problem with music happening there, but it does get rather crowded on a saturday night. Paul, the new landlord, doesn't trouble himself much with trivial things like licensing laws and closing times. Draught Worthington's is the standard brew, so will that be OK? Cheers, Bron. |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Noreen Date: 13 Sep 01 - 06:42 PM Bron, how's about we do what we did for the ceili at the Jug Gathering: bring our own containers and fill with the real brew from the pub to take out? Those big plastic bottles once you've drunk the fizzy water are ideal. N |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Morticia Date: 13 Sep 01 - 08:35 PM drink water???????Have you gone mad, woman? |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Noreen Date: 13 Sep 01 - 09:23 PM Only to empty the bottle so you can fill it with beer... get real, sister! |

|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Micca Date: 14 Sep 01 - 03:06 AM But I am pleased to note, us Cider drinkers with Tankards have no such problems..hic..hic....rampant CRS yes but consistancy of brew.... and Spaw thats not ALL they do in it... |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: alanww Date: 14 Sep 01 - 04:29 AM As a CAMRA member(!), I would find it rather difficult coping without some real ale but the idea of takeouts in containers seems ok to me. And although Draught Worthington isn't my favourite brew, it would be better than fizz ... As our local CAMRA branch secretary, what do you think Snuffy? "Ale, ale glorious ale; served up in pewter it tells its own tale ...!" Alan |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Trevor Date: 14 Sep 01 - 05:47 AM Bron, I can get a barrel of Cloud Nine, if you want, from the brewery which is just down the road from here. We had one for Squilverfest, people paid a quid a pint into an honesty box and we covered the cost. (Actually we had 'Big Nev's', but it's all good from the Six Bells Brewery). Let me know. |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Eric the Viking Date: 14 Sep 01 - 05:59 PM Just you make sure that he get's nice orange juice and cold soda water-or else, and has coffee on standby!!!!!! (There's nothing worse for a sheep than a drunken beer smelling attempt at rape-that's why they've gone off the Welsh!! )Hee hee. You can hit me when I get there! Better than that, hit Skip, he enjoys the pain more!!-I'll just watch. |

Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Morticia Date: 14 Sep 01 - 07:07 PM somebody get Eric's medication....he's at it again.Be good or I won't braid your hair this time...well, at least, not in any way you'd expect *BG* |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Eric the Viking Date: 15 Sep 01 - 08:22 AM OOOOOOOOOOOHH!!! Hi Morty |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 16 Sep 01 - 08:03 AM So maybe next year we should be planning Llanstock 3 for a month earlier, then we can have the mother and father of all birthday parties..... After all, there are at least 3 of us with birthdays this weekend, 4 if you count the viking offspring.... Just an idea..... LTS |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: MudGuard Date: 16 Sep 01 - 12:54 PM Ok, so happy birthday to the 4 people! Another question for Bron: What is planned for food? As far as I remember there are no shops in Llanfair Caereinion (I hope I got the spelling right - although I did not understand you completely when you told me on the phone ;-) MudGuard |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Eric the Viking Date: 16 Sep 01 - 04:51 PM Hey Andy-there are sheep, me and you will roast one at midnight!! or about 03.03 when everyone else is asleep. There's a resturaunt (Pippins) Pubs do food and just a few miles away a small town,(Welshpool) where shops stay open till lateish. A chps shop-I seem to remember near the red Lion. Last year I was at the red Lion and had breakfast there. Most important to me, is how do I get hold of the required 20 cups of coffee a day? Andy, be mindful of the security on airlines, Britain has tightened right up I am led to believe (rightly so, I always carry at least one penknife, multi tool with me everywhere, don't mind packing it away to prevent future happenings though) Pippins dinner was good last year. |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Llanfair Date: 16 Sep 01 - 06:09 PM Ah, yes, food!!! Friday night there will be hot food available for arrivals and anyone who wants it at the Institute. I'm planning a curry, well, two curries, one veggie, the other for the carnivores. For those who can't cope with my cooking, the chippy will be open till 10ish. Breakfasts will be available at Pippins, and My Mum's, directions later. I thought we would lay on a lovely German breakfast like we had in Muenster. There will be tea and coffee being served at the institute Saturday afternoon, with snacks, and the chippy and Pippins will be open for Lunch. For those with a tea or coffee habit, I'll lend you my front door key and show you where the kettle is!!!! Will that do? Cheers, Bron. PS, I haven't forgotten the evening meal Saturday, I'm working on it!!! |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Morticia Date: 16 Sep 01 - 08:17 PM Couldn't we all bring something or other,sort of pot luck type thingie....? I promise not to bake anything....unless anyone needs a door stop of course. |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: MudGuard Date: 17 Sep 01 - 03:15 AM Bron, sounds good! I'd be happy to bring a cake - only problem is I do not know what the current rules are for importing food into the UK - when I flew back home two weeks ago the tires of my bike had to be sprayed with citric acid because of Foot and Mouth Desease (for some reason I do not understand the soles of my shoes did not have to be spayed). Alanww, please read your PM! MudGuard/Andy |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 17 Sep 01 - 10:49 AM Mudguard - your shoes didn't have to be spayed? Had they been "fixed" already? (spaying is what happens to girl cats and doggies to stop them having more cats and doggies.... ) Nice picture of a vet looking at the bottom of a trainer and wondering where to put the scalpel! LTS |

Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: MudGuard Date: 17 Sep 01 - 12:27 PM Liz, it was just a typo, up to now I did not even know the word "spay"! |

Presumably just a bare field ? Ah to venture north, away from civilization, where the natives prey on thier knees and thier neighbours. Gareth from Caerphilly.

Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Llanfair Date: 17 Sep 01 - 05:16 PM Gareth, are you sure you are up to the fresh air and glorious scenery of mid-Wales!!!! The campsite is actually rather nice. It's by the river, and near the light railway station. I've promised that there won't be too many tents, but it's all relative, isn't it? Cheers, Bron. |

Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Gareth Date: 17 Sep 01 - 06:58 PM Very very tempted - even more by the thought of camping near a railway not run by Railtrack. Pray could somebody post the "agenda for this weekend, other comitments prevent me from leaving Caerphilly till the Saturday Morning And will a small arthritic beer drinking terrier be welcome ? Mind you it will depend on the weather forcast. Gareth |

Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Date: 17 Sep 01 - 08:45 PM If I go, I will volounteer to kill and butcher the sheep, I think my slaughtermans licence is valid in other counties.(I hope I have not upset any veggies!) |

Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Llanfair Date: 18 Sep 01 - 04:19 AM Not as many sheep as there used to be round here, John. (and Eric)!!!! The agenda is very loose, Gareth. Those arriving Friday will meet at the Institute, where there will be a bar and food, and music and singing after/before/during. Saturday morning is for sightseeing, walking, trips on the train to Welshpool and suchlike. Last year, in the afternoon, we all took turns to strut our stuff, and this year there should be a lot more interest from the locals. In the evening, the famous Mudcat ceiliegh band foregathers (that is anyone who knows the tunes!) and a good time is had by all. We charge the neighbours a small entry fee to cover the cost of the hall. Sunday is spent in the pub. Any more ideas? |

Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 18 Sep 01 - 06:03 AM Are there any things for children planned? I have the Bratling with me again, and although she's easier to deal with than previous, she is still an unholy terror and goes to bed after me!!! I can bring tons of paper and bits of card with me if there is anyone else willing to do the actual hands on bit (and I'm not talking throats here.... ) LTS |

Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: MudGuard Date: 18 Sep 01 - 06:35 AM Liz, Bratling sounds very funny for a German. A Bratling in German is something like the mincedmeat piece in a burger. So my first thought was to let John do some more butchering... ;-) |

Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 18 Sep 01 - 11:44 AM Bratling - word of my own invention, being the diminutive of brat - brats are usually a bit older than Phoebe is at the moment.... it's a bit like saying Ich bin eine Berliner then? LTS |

Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 19 Sep 01 - 01:35 AM The town is quite small. There are only 2 junctions. Look for the one up the hill from the river and on a strange 5 way junction with a chippy in the middle of it. LTS |

Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: Mrs.Duck Date: 20 Sep 01 - 01:46 PM Noticed on the map mention of Castle Caereinion - is there actually a castle there. We are having to drag the bored 14 year old with us and he loves castles so it could be somewhere to send him . |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: MudGuard Date: 20 Sep 01 - 02:03 PM Mrs. Duck, on the detailed map of Castle Caereinion no castle is shown. I also can't remember to have seen a castle there last year, but I passed the village on the main road below. Maybe this is even better - send the bored one to the castle, it might take him some time till he finds out that there is no castle... ;-) Alanww, check your PMs again. MudGuard/Andy |

Subject: RE: Llanstock 2001, part 2 From: GUEST Date: 20 Sep 01 - 02:54 PM There's definately no castle at Castle Caereinion. There is a healing well in Llanfair Caereinion, but it doesn't work on bored teenagers unless you hold their heads under. There is a castle at Welshpool and one at Montgomery, a few miles away. Cheers, Bron. |
