Post by: Vikki Sestan on Feb 04, 2020, 09:25 AM
Morning All

Here are the details for this weeks trip:


Location: Rhyd Alyn

Meet Place: The Chapel (usual spot - goo.gl/maps/VsWhRWxwL6n)

Meet Date: Thursday 6th February 2020

Meet Time: 6:30pm-6:45pm

Requirements: Wellies, overalls, helmet, lamp. You may also want to bring a belt and cows tails along.

Notes: Entrance is likely to be wet so a change of clothes a good idea.


It would be useful to know who’s coming along so if you can pop a message on the forum, facebook or reply that would be great.

Thanks

Vikki

can I ask a favour could someone drop the pole off as close to the halkyn tunnel on Thursday as I will not be out until sunday as it is my daughters birthday on Thursday and we have a surprise restaurant booked
try no to damage the inner tube it needs to be kept straight as it works in conjunction with the outer tube,
Mike knows were it is behind the building, will see some of you maybe on sunday at 9.30 am thanks mick

Due to safety there is no more spaces on this weeks trip due to the spare cows tails and belts being lent out. And first time trips are advised to proceed with this safety equipment. If you keep an eye out for next weeks trip  we’ll get you on that one.

Indeed, it seemed an odd trip to post in public for that reason.
Would be better if the PM function was enabled...that would have been a better place for your query.

I totally agree, I think the thread was put in the wrong area and I don't know what happened to the pm function
, I was going to put the thread in the private area but too many people had already contributed to it
