Two weeks ago I went out with some friends in Brecon, I was in the Lounge having a beer upstairs and other friends were down stairs, I was quite relaxed when a friend from downstairs shouted “GET DOWN HERE NOW”, I thought there was a big scrap or something…………. I rushed downstairs only to find my self having a photo taken with these two Welsh Rugby players…..

Snowdonia………… Here we come !!!!

Mount Snowdon - in the clouds

Well here we go again on another adventure……….. a couple of weeks ago myself and Huge went to North Wales rock climbing as the weather forecast was great.

We left on Friday late afternoon and arrived at Betws-y-Coed early evening, we decided to have a bite to eat and a couple of beers before we pichted the tent. When the tent was up we had a glass of wine and watched the stars as it was one of the clearest nights i had ever seen, all of the constellations were out and so was the milky way………….

“Bodge It” and “Scarper” - Ride again!!!

Posted by admin on August 15th, 2007

“Bodge It” and “Scarper” normally fit laminate flooring, but not this time………………………..

The first week in August I met up with friends Sam and James in Hay-on-Wye, who own and run the “Royal George” in Tintern. They were panicking a bit as they had a wedding on 11th August and were very short staffed, so being a right gentleman I told then that me and Huge would help them on the bar………

We arrived at the hotel about 10.30 on the 11th , only to be told that there was no rooms availabe and that we would have to pitch tent in the garden, good job I had one in the boot of my car (tent that is not a garden).

Coast to Coast

Posted by admin on August 15th, 2007

On the 3rd August, Me, Huge, “Where’s” Col” ( Director of Operations) and the French Connection braved the British weather and went on a gruelling 101 mile bike ride from Ilfracombe to Plymouth…….

Well…………… I was driving the support vehicle :-)

On the Friday night I drove to Croyde, then went to “The Thatch” for a couple of beers and then off to the campsite to try and pitch the tent, which was fun in the dark and it was raining, we succeeded and had a glass of wine to celebrate and then went to sleep.
