I'd love to tell you it's raining here to Al, but that would be lying. It's been glorious sun shine yesterday and today :-)

Stay safe

How much longer are you there for?

Just like to say thanks to everyone who attended :thumbup: and thanks to Flatline for organising it and letting me stop in the blue palace :D glad you managed to turn up Ady :thumbup:
l had a great time, the weather was perfect for us, pity I couldn't stay over Saturday night but the cheeky family wanted to take me out for a meal, hope you all enjoyed the route.
Can't believe that Tony won the duck race without something falling off or coming loose :lol:

I will get in early before everyone says the same sh1t. Was a great weekend, would say it was one of the best in the 6 years I have been meeting you lot. 288 glorious sunny miles around the whole of wales. Thanks for Chris leading the group most of the day, flatty for coming up the rear, and Ady for his surprise entrance yesterday.

Well, as per usual, that was a great weekend, thanks to all the participants and organisers. :clap: :clap: :clap:

Captain Gayduck did me proud, he's now back on duty in the shower.
Here's some highlights of the race:

Next year's competition will be a Balsa wood rubber band powered plane; the entrant will stand on Benny's bench and hand launch, the distance will be the number of paces from the bench to the final resting place.

I enjoyed the whole weekend.

No, that's a video, it should run when you click on it.

We used the stream beside the campsite, not Devil's Bridge.
