Martins bench Rhayader

Post by cheekykev »

Hi everyone, just though I'd let you all know, I went for a ride around Wales yesterday with 2 guys off the North West Bikers forum, as part of the ride I took them to the camp site to see Martins bench.
You'll be glad to know that the owner has put it in a prime position right in the middle of the field where we normally pitch, there was a couple with a couple of young kids camping right next to it and they were using it quite normally for their drinks towels etc :D which just goes to show that we made the right decision to have a picnic bench to be used :thumbup: rather than a morbid park bench that people would be reluctant to use :thumbdown:
So with this I would just like to say firstly it looks like we made the right decision :clap: secondly thanks again to everyone that made the effort to contribute :thumbup:

Oh and by the way if anyone hasn't yet seen the post for this years meeting at Rhayader, here's the link to the post :thumbup:
