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
accent. So what does Sun-Ray say "Or
right Sheila, are we having dingo tonight
..?". Well to put it mildly she went
ballistic. That night down at the local pub
the amigos meet some right nutter's & of
course they are all staying at the YHA. and
naturally in the same dorm as the amigos. |
