Gwilym Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Taclus! Where would you have it? If in Cardiff it's still easier for me to get to from London than if I were still living in Caernarfon 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stub Mandrel Posted April 16, 2022 Author Share Posted April 16, 2022 I'm in Barry, so somewhere within easy reach of Cardiff/M4 would be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassintheface Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 I'm the opposite end to Cardiff and It's easier and faster for me to get a train to London (196 ish miles) than it is to the Capital city of Wales (135 miles)!

Better than "Caerfilthy" which a lot of people use. Interesting fact that Caerphilly Castle, the biggest in Wales, was built to keep the Welsh out.

Travelling North-South in Wales is just incredibly slow. Mountains and rugged landscape do not make for fast roads, unfortunately. Except that bit between Rhyader and Aberystwyth, but that runs East- West and all the cops hang out there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zbd1960 Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 As someone that lives in the Border Marches - the Welsh border is one mile away - there is as someone has already noted a big challenge travelling north/south in Wales, or Wales adjacent counties, due to the lack of a fast road/train route.

Stub Mandrel Posted May 7, 2022 Author Share Posted May 7, 2022 Perhaps if it was Bash Bas De Gymru, it would overcome objections from those in the north and marches? The question really is who is somewhere betwen Carmarthen and Bristol wo would be intersted in something happening in the middle? The Midlands BB, if it happens, is likely to be near Redditch so those in the marches have that. One thought is that an event in Cardiff could possibly happen in a club with a stage allowing us to have some informal jamming and maybe even a bar and a gig afterwards for those who want it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
