Yep - that's my dilemma. I won't get to Wales until Sunday - and as Idris will already be packed up, I thought I'd head into mid-Wales for one or the other of these... but as I'll be there for one night only, which one do I go for?

Advice on a postcard please.

Forum I go onto, they slag the uk shop to death, for being overpriced

So if it's so overpriced why do so many people turn up for there events

i went last year dave, yeah the stuff is way over priced, but i just went to get pissed and have a look around, met a few overlanders including nick sanders and had a good laugh. had a blast round wales too.
but i didnt buy a thing from touratech. :)
bring your plastic as there will be some tidy deals this year!! tho i think overpriced is pushing it ..

and dont miss the TT trophy as its gonna be a hoot...

Walters Arena is great fun but make sure you do all the optional parts so you can watch those daft enough to go round 2 up fall off in the deep puddles :cheer:

We went a couple of years ago and stayed up there on the Saturday until it started to chuck it down and at that point we retreated to the pub.
