For those of us not there for one reason or another, here's a little movie about the canal trip, featuring Chell & Ady in the last few seconds . . . .

Thanks to Jude & Di for organising a lovely weekend in Llangollen, and for providing the ferry service to & from the town to collect vital supplies of beer etc. Thanks also to Chell & Ady for providing some strange foods to try, the laverbread sausage rolls were, erm, interesting

We went on a bit of a tour yesterday afternoon, firstly to see Telford’s fabulous aqueduct from the side, and then south to Llyn Efyrnwy – the road from Bala to Llanwddyn along the Hirnant valley was stunning. A few pics from us....

The pink bowls look a bit suspect....


....but the contents certainly not – Bury black pudding – Thanks Chell!!

[Northern Bongolow]

thanks to all for making this one a really good weekend .
a great site, with relaxed rules,which the bongo peeps seem to favour (for some reason ).

[hembramacho]

Thanks to all involved for an absolutely fab weekend , especially Di & Jude for organising the site and Debbiepritch for doing the rest.
Superb company, great outing on the canal, and a lot (seriously a LOT) of laughs!! Welsh meets must be the best ones, although I would say that!

As usual, didn't take any photo's so am enjoying everyone else's. Fab as usual.

See you next time.

Andrew, Mair, Mared & Eryl.

[hembramacho]

See - a LOT of laughs!!

Cheers

Andrew
