We are meeting at the M4 Juction 33 Services for 10am on the 11th April


!!!!!!CHANGE PLEASE READ !!!!!!

Hi all, I have some good news and bad news.....Please read all the post..

Bad news first ..

I've not had the time to finish this treasure hunt, and unfortunately I won't be able to.. sorry

Good News ....

We are still meeting same time same place, J33 Services for 10am on the 11th April
YEY, Basically I'm turning it into a RUN with a set route and a bit of an adventure at the end.

I have booked the Usk Gliding Club for the afternoon!! We will also be able to use their undercover BBQ, so if its a bit wet, we won't be. They also have a bar if you want a shandy.

I have also arranged for them to give us rides in the gliders.

Cost is £16 per 1000ft winch launch ! so 0 - 55mph in 2.5 seconds! and up up and away to 1000ft in a very short time, the view is amazing and it's very peaceful when you are in the sky.

So now knowing this you all have a few options.
1. come on the run, have a BBQ and fly
2. Just come for the BBQ and Fly .

We will be arriving at the Usk gliding club at around 2-3 pm

This is open to Everyone !!! and I look forward to seeing you on the day.

Matthew

I used to have an MX5 which would dissolve in water.
