ex BE course in Wales is it still there?

[joy]

There used to be a family run BE course in Wales, I think it was in some forestry on the mid Wales borders.
It was BE until it became too expensive to run but I believe it was reopened as an unaffiliated venue.
This was about 7/8 years ago and I cannot remember the name.
Please help.

Pembrey? Although it's not really in forestry..they still use it for unaff stuff if that's where you mean

Pencoed college was in South Wales (but I think your talking about Pencoed)

The xc course at Pencoed is practically non existant now

Neither of these thanks though.

Do you meanm the place that was in the middle of a triangle Oswestry/Shrewsbury/Welshpool (I think), used to run a two day event up to OI level, started with Ll (I know I know

) I remember that one, really cool water crossings. If so, it'll come to me

Llanymynech? Only one I can think of in the mid wales borders but it is still BE

Not Llanover? I went there grooming when I was a kid, so can't remember exactly where it was I'm afraid!!

Erwlon? I think thats how you spell it. No idea where it was as it was before my driving days but It was a family run course that was possibly BHTA. I lived Brecon area and possibly would have travelled a couple of hours.....

Is it Llanfechain? I know they used to do BE there and it's been finished for a while but sorry I have no idea that they opened it unaff or whether it's still open.

Well done, it was Llanfechain that I was thinking of anyway - lovely place

Llanover is near Abergavennny in a park, so doesn't really fit the description. There is a stunning new venue at Glanusk near Crickhowell which ran PC this year and is planning to run BE next year - poss even up to 1*

I never competed there as it stopped before I started BE but a friend's mum did. I might have to pay a visit to Glanusk next year if the do BE then even though it is a fair trek from us!

I fell in the water about 20years ago, but it was a nice event.
