Hi all
I'll be there mid afternoon

I'm currently lying in bed in my friends house near llanberis. The rain is hammering and the wind is howling... I really hope it improves

[New Forest Terrier]

Just to say that I will be fairly late this evening, So please make sure that my booking is not relet.

Thanks

[Jillygumbo]

[Bongoplod]

[Jillygumbo]

Really hot here

[Bongoplod]

Well,after that torrential rain,the sun has cracked the flags all day.
Its been brilliant untill 11.30pm tonight when a neighboring tent camper came and complained to me,Lynz & neil and Debs and David,that we were making too much noise.....caused an arguement and weve all sloped off to bed .

To be honest we weren't making a racket, or being rowdy as being complained about would suggest, we were sat having a pleasant evening, chatting and having a couple of drinks and hadn't realised it had got so late. As someone else suggested they must have had bongo envy!

Had a brilliant weekend, got covered in mud, soaked with the rain, forgot to take a brush for my hair, what a mess.

Thanks to Debbie for organising it, well done

Thanks to Lou and Debbie for suggesting this one again, it was a bit damp in places but that didn’t dampen the spirits of those attending, especially the kids who really enjoyed the river. Best wishes to Lou & family back in Dubai – must be a struggle to tolerate those rain-free days but there’s no Bongos there!!

A few photos from us....


First things first – into the water
















Getting adventurous now!!




Welsh weather




Now I’m not saying it was damp, but this was in Pippin’s water bowl


After torrential rain overnight, the river isn’t supposed to be like this






Ah well, if in doubt, brew up....


....and cook some sausages....


....there – feels better already!!

Now I don’t mind joining in but I’m not taking my boots off!!!


After that rain, ideal for a spot of “canyoning”....


....or maybe not


Seriously dangerous water to play in


Nantcol Waterfalls
















Patented washing line – Bungee cord across the tailgate


Now this weather looks altogether better

Allegedly women pay good money for this kind of treatment
















Emily with a burger – without a care in the World








Only in Wales








Quality tea!!


Cake decorating – not sure whose Birthday it was – perhaps I should pay more attention...










Thanks to Ady for the suggestion – Back over the Pass of the Cross








This possibly means something, perhaps one of our Welsh speakers can enlighten the rest of us


Lake Vyrnwy

[Northern Bongolow]

good to see the kids enjoying themselves, and debs .
looked a tad misty up there paul. did you make junior ride it ?? .

[Muzorewa]

It was properly misty, the first shot was just before we hit the clouds. Nice road though, fans were going nicely at the top. The road from there to the lake was probably more scenic though.

No Chris, he was 'celebrating' with his mates
