#TrollCornerforG&tforColey’sbirthday

Notes: 

A plan was hatched to ascend Croker Hill . It was muttered the previous week. But this week we had Coley’s birthday to celebrate, and he had brought G & T.

Teggs descent was dry, dusty, fun , climbing past the Hanging Gate and up was also a pleasant change. Nothing wrong with a bit of quiet tarmac with a view.

By Cleulow cross the plan to ascend Croker was debated, and revised . The sun was setting, and we headed back to a relatively new quaffing site with a view : Troll Corner. 

Here we were treated to G&T’s by Coley to celebrate his birthday  as the sun set in the West

It has been too long since we were last in the St D !! After some initial “where the hell can we park the bikes “ angst (as the passageway to the back was chocka with stuff) we were delighted to be invited to put them in the snooker room inside . Good answer.

Fine beer – “Elsie Moe” and good food , and it felt like we almost had the place to ourselves . 

Dunc was having strange comms with “Head Office” about escaped pets !

El Pres has pudding again !! Methinks his new diet gets dumped on a Thursday night

A bit cool on the way  home .

Autumn cometh !
