Cost: £375 per person to include three nights, meals and two drives
Start Point: TBA
Departure: TBA.
Saturday / Sunday: Organised drives in this beautiful part of Wales supported by well produced booklets
Information from Gavin, our trip organiser:
At the November monthly meeting I reminded members that I had booked a weekend at Llanerchindda Farm for the club following our previous visit, this will be from the 18th to the 21st of September 2026.
For those not familiar with Llanerchindda it’s both a hotel and activity centre not far from Llandovery in Carmarthenshire. Located in a valley with impressive views of the Black Mountains in the distance and the magnificent Cynghordy railway viaduct with its eighteen arches in the foreground.
For many years it has been popular with a variety of car clubs and 4×4 off road enthusiasts and I have been going regularly over the past ten years, more recently my friends and I have also been going at New Year when seasonal cheer replaces the daily drives.
Our weekend will include organised drives on both Saturday and Sunday which will be supported by well produced booklets containing tulip style route instructions and information, photos and maps of places of interest encountered on the way.
The cost is £375.00 per person and includes bed, breakfast, afternoon tea and dinner over the three days and entrance fees to places we visit. The owner, Martin Hadley and his family go the extra mile to ensure everyone has a good time, the attention to detail is impressive.
If you would like to join myself and fellow members please give the hotel a call and refer to the MX-5 South West Midland Owners Club visit, they will sort out rooms for you.
Once your booking has been confirmed please let me know via the club email address southwestmidlands@mx5oc.co.uk so I can keep tabs on numbers, we ideally need 8 or 9 cars to make this work.
Booking will be on a first come first served basis.
