Snowdonia for Christmas

A number of lessons can be learnt from this trip:

1) Drinking non-stop for 5 hours in a moving vehicle may not end all that happily.
2) Penny has attitude when drunk.
3) Strawpedoes are not good for your health.  Are they Chris?
4) Being a smug old git is fun.  Cleaning up chunder is not.
5) It may be grim up North, but it's far worse in Wales.

Thanks to Henry and Louise for the photos

Vodka jelly: the root of all evil...

...from bad to worse...
Pissed girls at the services - only 2½ hours into the trip!

Don’t recall much of the evening but I’m told mine involves vomit too (just to keep up with the fashion you know! Enjoyable minibus trip up – drunk before we’d even left Bristol – cheers to the drivers!

Thankfully a very poor memory of Fri night! – something about traffic lights and downing bottles of wine... -–cheers everyone for putting up with the comatose me!
As for the rest of the weekend – as great as expected – roll on body traversing and pillow talk
