Little panda at the WRT

[whitestone]

I came across a little panda at the weekend ...

Little panda had heard about the Welsh wildlife and was worried.

Brilliant, chaps! Love the sauna one. The third sister/brother took a trip with Oli so hopefully we'll get to see her travels shortly as well. One of mine opted to stay sunbathing on the sea-front at Barmouth - guess she'll survive OK on holidaymakers scraps and handouts.

Fab thread!

I was told that pandas liked to be shown the sights, and introduced to new experiences and especially making friends so with this in mind I took a little panda for a ride.

She approved of our 1st bivi spot, one a few may recognise...


....where she was shown the intricacies of making Chorizo and noodle stew....


....and inspected the accommodation arrangements. I can't say whether she approved or not as she can be quite inscrutable.


She was though a great help with route planning, what we'd have done without her guidance I've no idea.


At the top of Bastard Hill she made a one Panda Protest about the lack of liberty up there. Blimmin outrageous she thought. She did like the view though.


At the Spar in Dol she hooked up with a very cute Chinese Brush. They made firm friends and vowed to share the rest of the ride together. Probity lead me to leave them in privacy after dark, so their entire journey can't entirely be shared here.


They were of great solace and consolation as we girded our loins for our 2nd trip over Bastard Hill on the 2nd day. Well, Panda was, Chinese Brush just sniggered at our idiocy.


On the last night 2 LHCs met up at a pub where Reg was brought to a state best described as 'jolly' by beer and margerita. I've no idea what Panda and her mate were talking about cos they were very drunk and slurring a bit.

And all of a sudden there were two. Panda couldnt bring herself to watch.


With the WRT behind them they set off into the sunset (ok to Caersws train station) together. They had a great time talking bobbins as I slogged up the hill, and probably screamed in terror on the way down, as my brakes were making a 'not confidence inspiring' sound most of the way. I couldn't hear them though as I was too busy screaming in terror.

Ah yes, um, about those margeritas... was wondering when that particular bit of messiness would come to light.. well it was the first day of summer and you just have to.

A little bit of the Dulas valley will ever be 'BBB SE Chilterns'...

PS. Your efforts folks have lived up superbly to my expectations . The panda-based lunacy continues...

[Oli.vert]

SE Chilterns? SE Soho maybe.

[Mike]

Brilliant....I'm glad a panda didn't come around with me, I may of offended it a few times :)

[Bearbonesnorm]

Your bear might have eaten it

[Mike]

I was thinking more that my bear-arse may of offended it a few times

[Scattamah]

As long as your bear-arse didn't eat it, all is well.
