Ali C · #16 (**Post Link**) 07-09-10

Well, regardless of the weather I'll be going. If others are making the effort, then I goddamn will too!

I'll go to Tesco on Saturday and pick up schum schtuff.

AlfaBliss · #17 (**Post Link**) 08-09-10

Oh well if Ali_C is going...

...I'll bring an umberella, no a gazebo, better still a frame tent!

Probably

Na, I think you're confusing England for Wales. (That said the last couple of times I've crossed the border it hasn't rained).

tess · #18 (**Post Link**) 08-09-10

see it doesnt rain in wales all the time

i dont think i should ahve said that, tempting fate now

Upon checking the Atlantic pressure charts it looks like this current low if going to move off Eastwards and give way to an area of high-pressure coming in from the South West by Sunday, so the chances are it'll be dry but cloudy (if not interspersed with the odd sunny patch.) Should be good!

Thank you Sian Lloyd!

ok went to TH yesterday as you come into the carpark, in the far left hand corner there is a new extension for parking on black tarmac......its closer to the grounds which is handy if we are carrying stuff, so could we aim to all park there ??? hopefully it wont be too busy and we can all park together....

tess · #22 (**Post Link**) 11-09-10

ok guys, its the big day tomorrow...DO NOT FORGET or i will haunt you forever

Ali C · #23 (**Post Link**) 11-09-10

Well, got the food, got the map...got the car!

Now there's nothing stopping me but the leaving of it all. Have looked up Tredegar House on Google. Looks like a council house!

SpiderSue · #24 (**Post Link**) 11-09-10

what do you expect Ali its in Newport

I'm gonna make a very swift exit now before Tess sees me.........................

Ali C · #25 (**Post Link**) 11-09-10

Uh oh Sue, Tess is lurking.
