I love the area, and usually spend some time in Betws-y-Coed round Sept.

So, Maybe I'll be there, but I'm not fussed on fishing much these days.

If you see a small semi-geodesic tent in the foyer  when you arrive - it 
may be me :-)

If Dave can set up his Barbie in the lounge and Alec can bring more of 
those delicious ribs - I'll definitely come.

We pigged out at Cwellyn eh?

Actually Bill I enjoyed that weekend immensely. We didn't catch any 
fish, (nice walk along the lake though!), and the weather left a bit to 
be desired but apart from the noisy kids it was worth doing I think. 
Andy obviously enjoyed chatting up the young ladies and showing them how 
to light a fire, (NO! Not light HIS fire - he's too old for that sort of 
thing.)
It's got me thinking into maybe doing something similar in August.
Would there be any takers?

I did indeed especially the evening spent in Dave's "Conference Room" 
tent :-)

The walk would have been nice but for the fishing gear and the thigh 
boots!

It was great sitting together in the BIG tent with the rain hammering 
down outside - very cosy.

 I'm up for it  :+)
 
 Incidentally - for the last couple few months there has been an outbreak
 of cryptosporidium in the drinking water supplied to a large area
 around here - with Cwellyn being identified as the source.  So as
 long as you don;t drink the water, you'll be fine.

 Bill - glad you enjoyed the 'tent' evening, I will be sure to bring it
 again!  And the bbq   :+)
 
 
 Piccies from the weekend are still up at:

 cheers all

Hi Dave,

I'm damned sure the four of us would never have got into MY tent :-)

Alec's tent had room only for a fly rod and a whippet :-)

Hmmm.... but I wonder if the washing facilities are safe now? Then again, 
were they in the first place? ;o)

I don't know if I can make it yet as hols haven't been planned, but 
certainly sounds like a plan.

Sounds good to me!

My tent will take 3. (2 in comfort).
I have another small tent for eating.

If this idea gets off the ground, does it have to be Cwellyn ?

 no - but this place makes a good base for several lakes in the area such 
 as Padarn

 for this area...

No problem there Bill. I'll sit this one out as far as organising this 
one. Just tell me where I am going to blank in August and I'll be there!
Mind you ,Dave and Andy: What was the lovely little lake/loch/lump of 
water where you left me on my own and found me some time later suffering 
from the effects of the heat and wandering all over the place :-) 
Couldn't stand up straight for some reason.
Liked that one I did. Reckon it would do well in the right conditions.
Cheers,
Alec

If the question of alteranative is really being asked then:

Is there a camp site and pub at Nantlle? Now surely that would be Nirvanna?

or another venue further south such as Tal-y-Llyn?

I'm sure it was Dywarchen, although the reason for you wandering around and 
having problems standing up was more than likely linked with those glazed 
eyes you had! Must've been sunstroke <cough> ;o)

Tal-y-Llyn nr Corris/Machynlleth would be delightful.

I'm not saying I'll be there mind.

Don't blame them, It was I chickened out and did a runner  :-)

I just couldn't stay another minute, there were such a lot of damned 
inconsiderate walkers doing the three peaks challenge that upset me from 
4.00am onwards. The kids made a lot of noise as well but not in the 
morning.

  fine by me... and yes, I'm sure that Dwyarchen would be much better on
  a less tropical day. Just looking at that piccy again brought me out in a 
  sweat, it were bloody hot!
  
  If all decide that this is the time and place, I'm happy to nip down
  to the pub and book us in...

Dwyarchen should be Dywarchen according to OS.

Does this mean Graham's camp site again ?

Yeah That's it - sunstroke!
Just had a check on my work calendar. 'Twould appear that I'm a bit late 
for choice on this one so the only free days in August for me would be 
around the 19th, probably try to get up there on the 17th and home on
