Well my thoughts are already wandering towards a summer folly in the hills at the ranges, a good base for more southern welsh areas.

Jeff hows Tiddles :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I reckon Spence must have slept on the way home, the kid didnt stop, he was a live wire :lol: very good at keeping us fed though :D

Honestly you lot where a great bunch, Kieron and me had a great time even he is asking about the next time 8)

Righteo chaps, apologies for the delay in posting, been busy. That was a brilliant weekend, thankyou to everyone for being there! :D I for one thoroughly enjoyed myself and had a cracking time with all of you! :D :D :D

Im uploading pictures as Im typing. A few good ones, a few not so good.

Im sorry I lost you on sunday, but while I was trying to find you in Dolgellau the exhaust gasket popped off completely round about the same time that I lost contact on the CB. Apologies to anyone that came looking for me and for holding you up. I couldnt have been more then 5 mins or so behind you.

The drive up to the lost lake and the wayfarer were my favourites of the weekend. Trugga was an excellent guide and also knew a bit of history behind some of the places we went to which made it all the more interesting.

Pics are uploaded now so here are a few of the better ones.

At the campsite on Saturday morning.

There are more but those I think are the best ones.

Im giddy as a school girl thinking of the next outing!
I also drink Port and I'm not ashamed to say it!
