Anywhere that is fair to be good to everybody to be able to reach it in half a day, I think.

I have an evil plan.......there is a bike-friendly pub in Talybont-on-Usk in Welsh Wales (The White Hart) that has a bunkhouse - sleeps about 15. Nice little village, with another pub just up the road. Fairly central. Have stayed before with satisfactory results. Hope this works:

Just off the A40 near Bwlch (Sp?), within easy reach of most. Need to organise parties from N,S & E. etc., but to people of our abilities, this will be child's play (that was meant to be ironic, by the way).
Any takers? When?

Not exactly central tho is it, ok for me but a few from further up may find it a bit too far

We might get a better turnout (or a turnout at all, last year it didn't happen...) if the RV is a bit more accessible to those from the east.

| There must be some sort of method whereby we all enter our postcodes and then a triagulation occurs whereby the place the closest to all of us is found!

It depends on what you want from a meet; I think the ideal place for a meet would be Blairgowrie - don't care how far it is there is awesome riding all around.
BUT; we have to be realistic. Is the meeting about meeting people (my ideal for this particular "meet") or about riding?
I still say the population centre of the UK should be the focus, that was statistically there is a good chance its reasonable for the biggest mumber of people!!
