Ha ha the glamping may not have been your idea but it's not like you were arguing to go and bivi out for another night you just wanted to sleep under a different roof! At least in the marquee we were under canvas

Very nice Mike, how lucky were you on Sun night

Does anyone have any pics of the start I could have?

You've got to admire the microwave postbox

Yeah, that was great.

Quick question, I was wanting to post a new thread to discuss some of the more interesting waypoints. Is it OK to detail them now that the event is done, or would you prefer just a vague description?

Detail away

A selection of mine:


Sol decides to tease.




Chew in hill-hunting mode.



We followed this spectral apparition up Bwlch Sirddyn but when we reached the top it had disappeared without trace...



Oh, what fun.




Sheepshit and slugs.



At least the rain prevented overheating.



Smiling despite the ninja enduro horde asking if we were camp. Or was it camping?



Chew dreams of hills.



Hard slog and sogg.





The man they couldn't hang.

New link added to my pics now...

I think Ione's youngest would of loved the event this year

@ mike - wet and wild, my arse!

+ was it really necessary to put an Exped on top of the cushions on the sofa?

You seem to have taken a picture of some other year. Definitely no sun like that anywhere I was!

Yes Ian it was, those cushions were alittle too firm for me my only other gripe was that i didnt move the table closer to my bed on the evening which meant i had to get out of bed to get a brew on?? Basics....

Did you get your entire route finished you had planned?

We had a wizard with us...

That sounds terrible; firm cushions and the coffee table was too far away!

I did, yes

This picture kind of sums up day 2 of this years event...

I enjoyed that (mostly!). Thanks to everyone who made it happen. Marquee on second night was ace and made a very comfy bothie! .

Will post some photos when I get half a chance, they're a bit like Mike's, but from a slightly different perspectives!

A few more here, before the camera died a death.....
