Thanks to Jude & Di for organising a lovely weekend in Llangollen, and for providing the ferry service to & from the town to collect vital supplies of beer etc. Thanks also to Chell & Ady for providing some strange foods to try, the laverbread sausage rolls were, erm, interesting

We went on a bit of a tour yesterday afternoon, firstly to see Telford’s fabulous aqueduct from the side, and then south to Llyn Efyrnwy – the road from Bala to Llanwddyn along the Hirnant valley was stunning. A few pics from us....

Bongo people

Quick!! – the sun has come out!!

The pink bowls look a bit suspect....

....but the contents certainly not – Bury black pudding – Thanks Chell!!

River Dee, Llangollen

Llangollen wharf ready for the boat trip

Froncysyllte wharf for the aqueduct cruise

All aboard!!

It’s a long way down!!

The old bridge over the Dee

Mission accomplished – back at Llangollen wharf

Never too cold

They do horse-drawn cruises too

Cake for a Welsh Birthday

The morning after the night before

Bubbles....

Welsh campsite electrics

Pont Cysyllte which means bra-bridge or something in Welsh

Check out Jr on his bike, in the yellow shirt

Then through the spectacular Hirnant valley between Bala lake and Lake Vyrnwy

Amazing – you should go there right now!!

Looks like another cracking bongo weekend

thanks to all for making this one a really good weekend

.
a great site, with relaxed rules,which the bongo peeps seem to favour (for some reason

).

Posted: **Mon May 30, 2011 9:19 pm**

Thanks to all involved for an absolutely fab weekend

, especially Di & Jude for organising the site and Debbiepritch for doing the rest.
Superb company, great outing on the canal, and a lot (seriously a LOT) of laughs!!

Welsh meets must be the best ones, although I would say that!

As usual, didn't take any photo's

so am enjoying everyone else's.

Fab as usual.

See you next time.

Andrew, Mair, Mared & Eryl.
