Muz cooking breakfast in his birthday pressie


The next day it was sunny so we went out, 2 things I should say... *

1) you are allowed down that road
2) I am not doing anything to the plants, I'm just standing there...


* none of the above statements are true...

The bongo, no, you're not supposed to drive up here making all the walkers and cyclists get out of your way...


Yes chris, you're lost and that is a map of france....


a bongo on a bridge.



So if you ignore the "road closed" sign, and just drive through looking daft you get to see pretty things.....

Thanks to the Bulwell Bongoleers for organising this and nice to finally chat to you

We had a cracking weekend meeting new friends and getting abuse off old ones

Here’s a few of my pics, didn’t take that many this time



I blame this sign for me getting lost...least I didn’t go through Stockport tho



We had a lovely walk into Bakewell





And we were a bit bemused by the English having half doors


Ooh but half can be good



A few pics of bongos









Park on the campsite where I lost Wayne all weekend



The birthday boy, Penblwydd Hapus Muz



Get blowing Umbongochris



We had a lovely drive home



English sheep look much the same as welsh



Emergency stop....I’m starving !!!!



And a tea break and tyre inflation at hembramacho’s, ty guys...lucky I called



Then back to the A55 thankfully going the right way....



It only took me 3 hours to get back...well 6 hours with stops and collecting chinese on the way back and this time I went south on the A55

Thanks again all for a fab weekend happy days and happy memories

Exactly what we did, walking or cycling is good but only if you've half a day to do it in

Just claim to be lost tourists if challenged, ¿eh amigo?

Yep, If anyone said anything I was going to get umbongocat to speak french at them, and I would try my hand at swahilli.... Habari Gani !

Thanks Manda/Andy for organising another brilliant weekend (except for the weather) had a good laugh with the people we know & them we didn't.
Was good to meet people for the first time & of course the day visitor's where we had a good get together.
The pic's as usual were brilliant from everyone,so roll on the next meet
