Head off on the A14 west, join the M6
Joinandrewdavies and crew at Corley Services (between J3 and 4, just after Coventry) to exchange passengers and stuff and chat.
Then follow these directions. Possibly go in convoy from there.
Lunch somewhere at a nice pub (NOT Little Chef) sounds like a good idea, especially as we are in no hurry.
Arrive in Llangollen eventually and wait for others to arrive, buy mead and things, pick upwyrmwood and crocodilewings, choose room, unload and set off again with one or two kind helpers for shopping trip No 1.
Will rope others to do shopping/helping out on Sat and Sun. There are a number of drivers, so we can split the load.
Due to time and budget restrictions, the food will be less sumptuous than in previous years but this means that I'll get more time to play (and do Sam stuff in the kitchen).
Too bad I don't have the resources atm (due to paying full price for the privilege to work, the first time round the bogganarmi got in for half price. At least it's better than last year when we paid for fully catered by the hostel and had to cook ourselves...), or I would make a proper, multi-tiered wedding cake, as Sam is planning. Does anyone know where to get a physrep? ;o)

Pity I can't bring my huge stockpot. And I think I'd be stopped if I attempted to bring my 'special' knife. It's one of those Japanese ones you need a stone to sharpen, the ones that are made the same way as Samurai swords.

The special knife sounds good, I "only" have a Sabattier...
Hang on, a real Samurai sword has a forged edge which should stay keen (unless you cut other things than meat or bone).
Reenactor mate of mine back home has a "knife" about the size of a machete with a blade forged Damascene (sp?) style. It's about 60 years old and hasn't needed sharpening. I saw him cut firewood with it and then very gently and thinly carve a whole ham afterwards.
