Camping bridgend recommend camp site.

[keith with the teef]

Could anyone recommend a goodly camping site. As in cheep and cheerfull close to bridgend.

I’m liking the look of the dunes and coast line there. Somewhere new to explore.

Not been down there for 12 months, but you could try – http://www.thethreegoldencups.co.uk/pubcampsiteonthe.html
The food at the pub has always been good when we’ve eaten there.

Never trust an atom - they make up everything !

No idea about a campsite, way to close to my home.

If you are into history take a few hours or so and visit possibly the oldest church in the UK.

When you mention the sand dunes I’m guessing it’s Merthyr Mawr you’re on about. It’s lovely all along the coast there.

I’d personally go a bit farther to The Gower Peninsular.

According to Google there are seven sites actually on The Gower. Sorry I cannot recommend anything as it is over 60 years since I went camping there!

[Dave Rice]

+1 for the Gower (and beyond) even if you can’t make it this time.

[keith with the teef]

Ok good stuff.  Getting the tent out of the attack today and away sat. Hopefully Wales does not suffer from midges like Scotland at this time of year.

So. Did not go camping, got a to good a deal at a motel @ M-way services bridgend. Got back today to find on the door mat 2 so far that is: parking violations @ £100 each. I think its time to take out a private procecution against welcome brake the piss pots. :yahoo:

Be on the blower to ’em monday. when I reveive the other violations coming in @ total £600.

Had a lot of luck with the weather and a great part of the country to visit and dogged the regional lock down. The peeps around there seem to be getting a l;ittle cranked.

Yes, Gower great place. I can see why they call it Gower now.

The sand dunes and surounding area @ Bridgend is great to explore. Think I will visit again. :good:

Other than cocking up your ‘free’ parking, would you recommend Welcome Break?

[keith with the teef]

Yes I would. It was actually: The days Inn. Clean room and shower, soild security, good parking, descreet.

Just half awake staff who mess up the parking and make sure you ask for a receipt and probs best to pay with a credit card.

Duno why, but when ever I stay somewhere new I have to take an antihistermine other wise: snot attack.

Hey, there is a discount retail village there, so we shopped for some bargains and check this out. The Dragon (misses) got 5 pairs of shorts to try on and was not allowed because of  covid and so 5 pairs to try on at home and return otherwise. The cashere charged for 6. The Dragon spotted this and blew flames all over here and received an appolgy. Upon return to store with 3 pairs of shorts, not require, the same cashere then went on to refund for 2 pairs and not 3. The Dagon spotted this and asked what here game was. The cashere was probabley the most sohisticated liar I have ever come across.

Kieth, when you wrote “Duno why, but when ever I stay somewhere new I have to take an antihistermine other wise: snot attack.”, I thought maybe I know why.

I stopped at my sister’s about 15 years ago. The spare bedroom was FULL of junk, and I had to climb over stuff to get in bed. I was snotty at the time. A couple of months later, the same routine, but this time the bed had not been re-made. She said nobody else had used it. Snotty again. I had stopped at a farm guest house previously, all clean, but snotty of course.

Next time across, I stopped with my sister in law. I know her house is clean. Clean, not immaculate or smelling of chlorine, just healthily clean. But once more I was snotty.

I told her all this, and she asked if I was dressed differently to usual. Clean shirt etc., and I had my “best” Harris tweed jacket.

She divested me of it, put it in her tumble drier without heat, and left it most of the day. Snotty solved!

Since then, if ever I plan to wear anything that has languished in my wardrobe for a month or more, I put it on a hanger outside, in the green house, or the porch depending on circumstances.

Anything hanging in my wardrobe, open or in a proper “jacket bag”, will get me snotty if I don’t hang it somewhere fresh for a couple of days. I wear my “best” HT all the time now, probably for the last 7 years, and really should get a new best, but I suspect it could cost close on a grand. Unfortunately, I can not buy “off the shelf”, nothing fits.

Anyway, consider carefully if YOU are the cause of snotty, not the room you stay in.

Les.

I like the sound of that Les. I will put it on the back burner.

Good job you went before today’s tight lock-down in Bridgend!

I’m almost out of places to go for a drive, luckily I went to Newport on Friday to see my mate in his shop, we were joking about how it might be months before I could go again. As they are also under lockdown of sorts it might well be . :negative:

Can’t go to the Rhondda valleys, Brirdgend is out as is Newport. I can only go a small distance towards Llanelli or Barry, Aberthaw is I think still allowed but for how long?

I’m sticking close to home, luckily there are still some great roads too have a blast on.

[keith with the teef]

What a mess this is. Well, time to put some tin foil in a semicircle shape to see if I can broadcaste a better signal to another room (router). A bit of guttering should help as a template.

Try a Pringles can!

[keith with the teef]

I was only procrastinating. But I like the idea of a pringles tube. Gonna give it a go.

[Dave Rice]

Years ago there was a Wi-Fi co-op in part of Bristol with everything done on a shoestring.

Pringles cans were the preferred DIY antenna, they worked!

[wasbit]

That brings back memories.

Tim Rustige did an article on Pringles can usage in issue 902 of MicroMart. How do I know? Because I kept the page before recycling the magazine. Unfortunately no date.
