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!

One of the 7 is Dillan, 10 years old and a beast on the climbs
Many thanks to the staff at the cafe for tea and cake, and indeed to Dee and Stu

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!

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

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!!

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...
