Crew: Doog, El Pres, Butty, Dunc, G, 3 Sheds, Mr I, PTD, Slim, Stunt.
Route: There are many paths that lead through the trees in the forest 😉
Conditions: Perfect
Stats: Off (Butty)
Notes:
A second week of proper summer weather and Doog takes control with the trusted solstice BBQ plan.
Slim and Stunt B ride direct and help with the setup – manly firestarting the camp fire, whilst Doog gets the disposable doing and the food on.
Troops arrive soon after with the odd bandaged wound for the daredevil Butty.
Bug spray liberally applied,Beers opened, views drunk in, golden light across the landscape captured through lenses.
Stunt has brought the offending maxle and wheel hub sleeve from the Coed y Brenin trip (thanks to BiycleSmithy John) and pays homage to the Engineering God that is 3 Sheds whose prophetic words on cutting it out were bang on.
Burgers, sausages, spuds & coleslaw demolished and then onto the serious business of sitting around the fire, working our way through the beer and talking an eclectic mix of deep thoughts and frothy man nonsense 🙂
Darkness slowly descended, bringing out the stars in the night sky, extra layers were donned as 1,000 feet up it still a little chilly on even the warmest of summer nights.
Major Axis of Evil avoided due to epic fail to bring hard liquor, but maybe that was a good thing!
Eventually its time to bring the magic of the evening to an end and descend back to reality with souls recharged (avoiding gravel traps!)
