Check in at Conway!
Unpacking in surprisingly pleasant conditions, wondering where Frowne was..
A hint at the incredible number of outfits that turned up, I wonder where they all hide the other 363 days of the year??
Things got too hazy for pictures after this, there was a lot of talking
to a bloke who is on the K100 forum who used to do bike reviews for the
comics in the 80s, some more drinking, some bacon somewhere, more
drinking, a load of shoving each other around and singing along in front
of the live bands (and Frowne flinging my glasses onto the floor where
they got semi crushed, a lucky escape..), some drinking.. Errrr... The
airbed deflating in the middle of the night and the ground sucking the
heat out of me through my trusty Snugpak.. And then the morning! It was
frosty. It made my fingers hurt. More bacon happened.
And after all our bikes started on the button (many batteries didn't
survive the night) we went home in the freezing fog. All in all it was
ridiculous but somehow thoroughly enjoyable, I'd certainly contemplate
the idea of thinking about maybe doing it again at some point.
Definitely buy the beer in England first though, I was expecting to
survive on Tramp Juice but a 4 pack of Tennents Super was £10 and
Special Brew £10.69! They must charge by the unit in Wales..
