Fatwhippet & Kidder
'Not watching out for the traffic'
Feet and wheels wetted in the Irish sea kit on. Now the hard work has really begun, leaden down with all the heavy kit for the trip the 3 amigos turn the cranks. 2.5 miles into it and it's a pub pit-stop the first of many. The suns out and it's hot, so three pints each later they set off through the Cambrian countryside to Eskdale YHA. Fatwhippet's moaning already.
"Can I go home now I've seen my arse" . . . . . . 'No you bloody well can't, ...Get pedalling!.'

Arriving at the youth hostel in Eskdale wobbling all over the place the 3 amigos tuck into a well needed tea. At the dinner table the amigos are begin served by an Australian 'Shelia' student with a broad oszzy accent. So what does Sun-Ray say "Or right Sheila, are we having dingo tonight ..?". Well to put it mildly she went absolutely ballistic. That night down at the local pub the amigos meet some right nutter's by the pool table & of course they are all staying at the YHA. and naturally in the same dorm as the amigos. (Bloody tourists)
