Phatmike Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Nearest train station is Pyle, it's a couple of miles away, so make sure you can ride with everything you're taking.Best way to stay is camping, I've always gone to Brodawell campsite, not too pricey, and is rideable to the main spots, which are all close together.

Joe_Elding Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 i think i'll be up for that too. sounds good, count me in.LOL he didnt ask if anyone else wanted to come anyway your best bet would be to stay in a caravan as its cheap and as long as you leave it tidy they won't care how many bikes you take with you.I found this caravan site:£104 for 3 nights for all five of you.http://www.parkdeanholidays.co.uk/Search_Results.aspxIts actually in porthcawl so not very far for you to ride.Don't suppose me and a few mates could tag along Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technical Tom Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 I went to Porthcrawl quite a bit a go, but me olie and beau had to ride like 7 miles from bridgend train station to porthcrawl but it was worth it. Then we camped in a random field by the rocks, it was the best weekend i have ever had Cheers,Tom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Elding Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 (edited) Joe, is there an age restriction for how old you have to be be unacompanied by an adult?I don't think so, I put in random names and ages under 18 to book and nothing came up saying anything about ages so i don't think theres anything about it, if the worst comes to the worst you could always say someones older than they are Edit: they also do 8people caravans for £122 for the lot which is only £15.25p each so if you want to invite three other people then feel free Edited December 13, 2005 by Joe_Elding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
