been down for a rekie of the site over the weekend....the abbey 8)



the abbey .... old enery burned it... :shock)


Image

the approach.. off the A466

Image

tourist information

Image

the pub...also a cofee/butty bar

Image


large fields at tha back of the pub, we have exclusive use for tents vans etc etc, local B&B's but a tad expensive..
Chepstow cheaper. :ride)

pub food is good and not expensive... belly filling meal for 8 squid.... 11 squid for a steak etc etc :)


it's booked... no cost involved... turn up and do your own thing.. you decide what you spend or don't spend lol


again.. i have accomodation in the van for 2 bodies...preferably for peeps wanting to come from great distances :P
..but first cum first reserved :ride)
or simply just turn up on the sunday for the ride out leaving at 9.30am

some prelim enquiries into the local B&Bs in the village suggest that they do not want to rent you a room for just the one night,
they are holding out for the full weekend bookings I think, as they all say no rooms available :roll)

still got it pencilled in tho as it does look a nice ride AJ :ride)
