I'm tempted to go but my mum would go mental driving that distance.
Get the train then. You're close to London, take the underground to Paddington then it's 2-3hrs to Cardiff Central, no changes at all :Csmile:

But trains cost moneys :o

Probably cheaper than the fuel to drive down though

I'd like to try to come to this.   Haven't had the stilts on since WFL, so need to give them a good service first.

Wouldn't stay, as I'm off to V Festival on Sunday 22nd.

Hmmmmmmm........Why did I buy these again?!?!?!?

Well I have some bad news. Cardiff Council have got back to me and confirm that the 21st the whole basin is being used exclusively for an event which means it will probably be completely fenced off. There are no weekends in august when it is free either :(

So I dont know where that leaves things really. I can try for a weekday but I know that significantly reduces options for people.

ok we'll go with that :) not exactly a summer meet anymore but october it is.
Someone book the weather.

It is unlikely an event will be booked in october so the basin area should remain clear but I will check again with the council closer to the date.

Those wanting to come to cardiff during the summer, note that although the oval basin may be fanced off (often its not because the events are generally open to public) there is still plenty of room outside the basin to bock. Just check some of the CB08 videos.
