I haven't quite got the wrist action right. Hopefully I will have perfected my technique come July 2nd.


Is that to go with your men up against the wall???

I finally made it back, good to finally meet everyone. I must echo what has been said before and thank Iain for his great hospitality, bacon sandwiches, crazy dog and great route planning - 6.45am on Sunday however was an interesting choice

The view from the top of Snowdon did of course make the whole effort worthwhile - truly stunning panorama!

Thanks to Emma for taking me all the way to Wales - hope my music choice were not as bad as my navigation skills .The naked men however have not been identified, but the way they thought the Corrado was a pizza delivery car was admirable!

Thanks to Martin, Alistair, Emma and Iain's dad for rides in their cars - I now want all of the above vehicles at some point in the future but the real target will be the Cerb.

Pictures on their way to the interweb - sadly not the naked scholars though!

See you all on July 2nd for more drink and fewer early morning wake up calls!

They were my CDs, so the choice was excellent And yes, it has to be said, you are a sh!t navigator

And the fact that one of them thought that I was your mum was even funnier. Wait a minute. That ain't funny.

The fiat must be a faster car than the cerb,on the other hand it might have something to do with having a 7 year old in the car.

Your little lad was tiny - and what a cutie I fully understand that you were being very sensible.

Wow what a weekend!
Right where do I start? Got very exited seeing a Westfield in the car park (and was a nervous wreck having a ride in it, sorry!), was somewhat less excited going over aqueduct in what felt like a howling gale. World's End was certainly interesting with mysterious man and his Tesco bags, and a certain person and his brakes which he very kindly didn't tell me weren't working until we stopped (next time Iain remember to shut the bonnet!). Snowdon was absolutely beautiful (the pain was certainly worth it), discovered I can't drink soup from a cup without wearing most of it and I can no longer skim stones!
All in all a great weekend!
