That sounds good. Jan and I are newcomers to canoeing and would welcome the chance. We bought ourselves a Sevylor inflatable last year as a try out and had loads of fun.

This looks like being another stormin' weekend (though not literally, I hope). I've explained to Mr H in a PM that LITM won't be able to make it, as Mr Webb has other commitments (and so do I, for once) but we're hoping to make a dramatic re-appearance at the Festival in August, following last year's hugely enjoyable event.
Have a great Easter, folks!

Latest news!

Due to unprecedented numbers of potential attendees, the spaces available on the established camping field may have become restricted.

However, there's now an overflow site on hand a short distance away & the landlady is offering transport between it & the main site if required by anyone.

In view of the recent sad news of Vicki Williams' passing, I'm hopeful that we'll all be celebrating her life & contributions to both Welsh and national folk culture in these islands, during our weekend in Anglesey.

Also remembering all the good times we had with Vicki & Tref on occasions both locally & at do's all over the country.

If you are coming from the Midlands or South, use the A5 through the mountains. Much nicer and usually traffic free.

I've used the A55 on a friday eve. for weekends in Anglesey and its free flowing but on sunday eve. it's chock solid so its the A5.

Latest news!!!

Severe weather conditions, in the form of heavy snow, are affecting parts of North Wales including the Bull Bay area of Anglesey.

I have just spoken to Joanne, the hotel licensee, & she says conditions there at the moment are apalling, strong winds & driving snow.

However, all is not lost!!

Joanne says that folk are welcome to camp on the front garden of the hotel, as its more sheltered there, also better access to toilets etc.

Also indoor camping will be available inside the hotel, in the dining room & function room.

For those travelling on Thursday 1st April, the campsite & hotel gardens will be available all day, but the hotel is not open until 6pm.
