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 [-o<

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. :lol: :lol:

Thanks to Debbie for organising it, well done =D> =D>

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!! :lol:

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

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 :roll:
