Yep, that was me and my brother, Adam. We thought we’dgot the bothy to ourselves as it was darkand quiet when we arrived. Then I heard the snoring as i wandered upstairs to see if there was any space.
Cheers for a top weekend Stu, Dee and everyone we bumped into on the way round.
Also, especially to Mike for saving us a table in the Triangle!

Ten or ten dozen, it'll likely matter not as it's mid-Wales and they're bound to be shut

Or won't let us in eh Reg!

See above

On Sunday, someone will always be back bang on 9.00am and someone will roll in at 6.00pm. There will be a fairly steady stream returning between the hours of 10.00am and 2.00pm. Bit of a lull until 4, a sudden flurry, then a drawn out wait for whoever mistook their intentions for their abilities or simply got lost too many times.

Indeed

Did I mention my return time this year

Mrs Scattamah says thankyou Mark...apparently I look better to her with some mud on me and a little bit sweaty.

Cheers mark, I’ve added them to the Dropbox folder

Yes the 'not let us in' story will be along shortly...

As for Mike saving a Triangle table it would have been helpful to our subsequent arrival if he'd saved the entire pub

No problem. Good riding with you briefly.
The sweat could have been from that giant fireball!

Thanks Stu and Dee for a fantastic weekend, Pickers, Reg, Steve, Mark and Steve for the brill 'borg-collective' hive-mind route and Dillon for giving me a wheel to follow/ try (and fail) to keep up with.

Great riding, great company, great cake, lots of tea, amazingly good weather, and flaming gas canisters, what more do you need?

But maybe next time let's not send the bloke with a toy panda on his head and two pairs of glasses on, into pubs, to see if they have room for 7 muddy riders!!

Mike · Post by **Mike** » Tue Jan 16, 2018 9:44 am

Sorry reg I could only secure 2 seats the place was rammed, although half hr after u guys left there were loads of spaces available :)
Cracking weekend

Pickers · Post by **Pickers** » Tue Jan 16, 2018 9:47 am

Finally got round to sorting out my pics - emailed to you BDSteve for the collective Dropbox.

I don't know what's more worrying - the panda under fire up there ^^^^^..... Or the panda here...
