I'd definitely be up for it! It's been on my list for ages.
That's if I've got my Bongo by then....and if I get someone to look after my 6 year old.....

I did a full days gorge walking near Brecon, mid Wales a few yrs ago as part of my stag weekend and had a great time, i would recomend it to anyone.
Dont know how to post the link but it was booked with Black Mountains Activities.

looks interesting - if the dates are near our trips to Shropshire I think I would be up for that.
No chance of anyone else from the family doing it mind

- so I'd be looking for support and encouragement from you lot
Regards Grahame

I'll save my fuel money and stand outside the front door with a few mates for a few hours and get cold and wet that way!!!! Or run into the sea fully clothed
Seriously, it's a great idea but neither destination is on our list of weekend destinations for 2010.

Hi Guys and Galls.
Bit of a Bump. Just been having a look at some sites local to the Llangollen Gorge Walking as this seems to be the preferred choice of location.
Has anyone any ideas of a campsite for those that wish to camp.
I have had a look at this one as it is pretty close to Llangollen, never been before. I will give them a ring to see which months are best and if they could take us.
Tower Farm
Update:
I have called the site and they are prepared to offer us a separate field for our group. They can take 20+ units and at that number it would be approximatley £12 per night. She will accept Bongo families with a caravan at no extra charge, but you must not be sleeping in the Bongo (her words)
This is however a field without electric hookup, level and grass. It is not to far away from the showers and toilets. Freezers available for ice blocks.
August seems a good month for this site as she has no bookings for the field as yet.
Weeks available in August are, 6th, 13th and 20th.
I need to call the Gorge Walking People to see what availability there is to accommodate a group.
Please could peeps post up with interest. ASAP so that I know if this will go ahead.
Cheers

If I remember rightly we stayed at this site during the annual Llangollen balloon festival a couple of years ago. Great site, good amenities and friendly owners. Only a stones throw from the town centre too! If it's the same one, positioned up behind the International Pavilion, I'd recommend it.

ps It's also ideally positioned for a walk up to the top of Dinas Bran with stunning views from up there!

Still interested but it may be cost-prohibitive to me now. Will wait and see

If you could make the camp that would be equally good.
We will have to see how it goes really. The site seem quite happy to have us as long as we are not toooo roudy
