Doesn't mention that on the website... but then it's hardly the most detailed! Doesn't really make much difference though - as long as we're there Fri night, we've got to get up Sat am anyway for a 'bike ride' or something, so I heard...
What's the deal with the camping - do you have to pay on the gate (if so, any idea how much?), is space likely to run out, is there water & loos etc...

camping is rough and ready - park up (see maps on earlier pages) and put tent where you can. There are some changing rooms at the other end of the playing fields, but I've never used them myself so can't vouch. Otherwise it's the pubs in town for loos, wash basins etc 
Doesn't cost anything though. Well, not in all the years I've been going - sod's law it'll change sometime...
Personally I sleep in the back of my car (parked with all the others at the playing fields) as the boot's long enough. Means the bike's locked up safe with me too on the front seats
Town's got 3 pubs, a takeaway, cafe, Spar and maybe even a cashpoint, but Spar does cashback for a small fee I seem to remember. Oh and it has a bike shop slightly out of town (1/2 mile) - you can hire bikes there too I think. Pretty basic from memory though.

I know at least one other person mentioned doing this single speed so just thought i would see how many are?
Having just realised that the last proper off roading i did was the redbull run when i was 16 (27 now) this could be interesting.
Oh well camel back primed with ale and i shouldnt feel the pain!!! :roll:
Also those of you who have done it before do you normally just get take away grup or take a stove etc? Can we get away with making a fire or is it a bit crowded? (just thinking ahead as my experience of wales is always either wet and cold or very wet and absolutely bloody freezing!)
