Title: welsh champs Post by: Downhiller13 on May 09, 2008, 07:28:45 AM i have booked to race the welsh champs at Mynydd du and am not sure if i can get my dad's motor home in there which is quite important as we need to sleep over as it is a long way away
it is a pretty large motor home so can someone who has been there let me know if there is space to park and sleep cheers Title: Re: welsh champs Post by: [Al] on May 09, 2008, 08:16:06 AM You could drive a Tesco artic up to and into the car park at Mynydd Du, but then you'd be taking up a lot of space that other people could be using for parking their car. Why not leave the motor home at home and bring your tent, its a lovely place to camp :)
Title: Re: welsh champs Post by: dmr lew on May 09, 2008, 15:07:25 PM Just wondering can anyone race the welsh champs or do you have to win any races or have any licenses etc?
thanks Title: Re: welsh champs Post by: Orge on May 09, 2008, 15:13:58 PM Anyone can race, at least I did at Gethin with no licence. Is only the National Champs and NPS that require a licence.
George.

You don't need a licence. Any one can race the welsh champs but ya can't win it unless your welsh boyo!.. At least I think that's right.. Anyway that's what the guy from stereophonics said ... abuse me if I'm wrong!

Anyway that's what the guy from stereophonics said ... abuse me if I'm wrong! what cant win unless ur welsh? how come? i would have thought if u can enter it you should be able to win it, where's the sense in that.. wouldnt want to pay money to race a race u cant win. Title: Re: welsh champs Post by: jake-snake on May 12, 2008, 10:29:19 AM Lee you can still win the race but its the 1st welsh guy who win the welsh champs, I think

Title: Re: welsh champs Post by: Burf on May 12, 2008, 14:32:49 PM Don't think I'll be on the hardtail, not too sure what I'll be riding yet...
Title: Re: welsh champs Post by: dmr lew on May 18, 2008, 21:23:29 PM can we practice the track at any time or is it like private or anything?
Title: Re: welsh champs Post by: Farrant on May 18, 2008, 21:27:09 PM You can but its best to wait for the practice days, much much easier to get driven to the top. Pushing up the track is steep. Riding up the fireroad is long.
Title: Re: welsh champs Post by: ColDTea on May 19, 2008, 16:28:43 PM IIRC Mynydd Du is a SSSI and there are barriers across the track outside of races/approved uplift. I believe the official line is not to ride it outside of these events.
