Well, got the cars ready last night, and it looks like i wont be going anywhere this weekend. just checked the weather and heavy snow for sunday. will see what its like, but we were only suppose to have a small bit of snow last night, and its 4 inches thick.

was looking forward to this round, been 2 a caldi crimbo bash before and had a good time, lap dancers were the best.

Nice one Pete, im sure David cameron would be proud of you. LOL

I do hope so. It's no good just thinking of yourself you know, that's what the big society is all about, helping each other.

Sounds bad Dave, lets keep our fingers crossed and I'll have the heater turned up full blast for everyone!

You did book the lap dancers didn't you Pete?

Did I forget to say that we need to fit some scaffold poles in the venue to enable their act to work properly?!;)

And on a serious note, we've sorted out someone to do Teas, Coffees & Pot Noodles.

There will also be crisps, chocolates and soft drinks available, possibly hotdogs at lunchtime too!

Whats the latest weather from Caldicot? Ive seen on traffic Wales that all the major roads are clear, but what are the other roads like from the M4 to Caldi?

markwilliamson2001 18-12-2010 10:12 AM

Iwas going to ask the same thing, but coming from the north of caldi.
We had some decent snow last night, and know that the Bristol, and Newport area has had some snow the last day or so...

Any news would be great...:thumbsup:

DCM 18-12-2010 10:13 AM

I don't think I will be able to get there, where I am the council hasn't gritted the main roads and my road has about 8 inches of snow on it and currently impassable to anything other than 4x4's grrr

JACKOR33 18-12-2010 10:29 AM

Use a spade steve its a wonderful invention....

DCM 18-12-2010 10:34 AM

Dug as far as the road, I even found me car in the snow!! lol

blue_pinky 18-12-2010 11:04 AM

I'm heading over in a bit, the main road that goes past the entrance to the estate is usually kept pretty clear, will only be the road within the estate that should cause any concern...will report back when I see it! :thumbsup:

markwilliamson2001 18-12-2010 11:19 AM

Cheers Andy!

Robwest 18-12-2010 11:19 AM

axeman 18-12-2010 11:21 AM

big dave 18-12-2010 11:29 AM

Well it looks like a few of us from swansea and maybe pembroke will be making the trip. at the moment its snow around, but the sun's melting it fast and checked the weather for swansea and newport and its showing clear for the rest of the day and tomorrow. so we going to make a trip up providing the meeting is still on.

DCM 18-12-2010 12:18 PM

This is what I woke to this morning, and the council are nowhere to be seen on the main raods!!

Jamie.T 18-12-2010 01:23 PM

Whats the latest on the smaller rounds getting into Caldicot, dont want to travel 99% of the way there only to find the roads in the estate are not passable?

Axeman, any chance you can share your pic of the roads?

Dyna 18-12-2010 01:45 PM

Yup im in the same boat up here in Brecon - heavy snow even this morning when i was walking the dog, but it has been clear the last few hours. Again the roads are still bad, but the estates not having been touched at all by gritters and snowploughs and its a good 7-8 inches deep. Only things getting in and out around my way are 4wds.... A470 to Cardif was shut this morning and the A40 Brecon to Abergavenny was very,very dodgy according to a friend of mine.

I'd appreciate any road/travel info tonight from people around the Abergavenny to Newport area as thats the way i'd be coming.

But if it freezes overnight im not going to risk it....

DCM 18-12-2010 01:57 PM

I just watched a car rock back and forth for 10 mins at the bottom of my street before being pushed back to the kerb..... I am gonna commit to saying that I WON'T be making the event now.... there is no way the snow is going to be cleared off the roads today, let alone be safe to get to the main roads at stupid o'clock tomorrow.

welsh wizad 18-12-2010 02:01 PM

caldi
 
i would like to make it but if snow does not melt i cant its got to be 10 inches it is up to the top of the wheel so i cant see it unless i can borrow a helicopter haha
