Read that Peter for a good idea of your weekend. If I remember rightly, the guide looked about 60 years old at Llanchinnda, but after speaking to a load of 20 year olds on KTM's at the end of the day being led by him, they were fooked, he was one hell of a rider apparently! wink biggrin

The B&B was good and clean, but a top tip. The breakky was from 8 - 9 in the morning, so I toodles down at 8.40 for cooked brekky and nothing left! I was told that "once it's gone, it's gone", so none too chuffed and had to suffice with weetabix doh Anyway, get down to breakky early. Also I know the year before the lads went into Llandovery for an Indian meal instead of eating at the B&B.

Have a great time, you'll be spoilt rotten with the choice of mutton, as there's plenty of it, unlike the Cornish sheep that are a bit used an abused bleh

Stayed there a couple of months back, and prior to that about 10 yrs ago. Much better now, really helpful owners.

Stayed in the self catering cottages, it was great. Took asda curries, beer, bacon etc, Was quite nice to get back from a drenching on the Strata, have a washdown, light the fire and crack open the tinnies!

If you don't fancy microwaving smile the meals were always descent in the main b&B. If you fancy eating out a descent pub is not too far away, a short taxi ride.

Would I go again...yes, it is planned already.

Didn't use a guide this time round but imagine it is always nice to follow someone rather than navigating yourself sometimes. Managed 2 days follwing the gps/maps etc. Descent chippie in Rhayader for a lunch stop

Thanks Nic, Mike and Harty for your replies I think were on to a winner, not sure about the curry but mother said she will do a bag full of pasties. I will book it tomorrow.

As for the sheep Harty I always like to think of them as experienced rather than abused.
