Beacons Bimble

Post by Hughser »

Good day all,
Got a propositon for some of you, but that's not what this post is about.. Anyways I was thinking, a good treck up the beacons is in order. Being as I dont have a canadian mountie to head up there with.

If anyone is interested in heading up the Brecs possibly the Blacks for a bit of a day or few days trip, give me an idea of when you'd be free via this post, and more importantly if you can get transport to the Brecs. If your within 20 miles, I'll carry you on my back.

I have a ordanance survey map avaliable and the necessary navigation gear, so we shouldnt get lost up there. Anyone and everyone is welcome.

Theres no need investing in gear, as long as you keep your feet healthy for example, theres no need for buying a new pair of £30 boots. As for dates as soon as we can get an idea of peoples time off. We can organize around that.

Start buttering up your bosses :lol:

Just make sure you don't run out of Diesel on your way there. :D :D :D Snee! Snee! Snee! Best of luck next time you try to come and pay a visit UP. Cheesed down when Flighty showed me your PM as to why you didn't make it to number 6!

As long as your arse points down........etc, etc, etc, etc.

Never mind the diesel, that was a minor, the whole being "kidnapped" by your local bobbies was the best bit. I think i'll come in on a chartered flight with some colombian drug lords next time it'll be safer.
