After a long drive up from South Wales after
competing in the
MBR Big Welsh Weekend,
Kidder & Chiefy arrive in the Lakes at
Hawkshead YHA. They off load the bikes &
unpack their kit & sort their lives out. Two
pairs of very tired, stiff legs head off
around Esthwaite water to Sawrey & the first
pub pit-stop. On arriving at the pub they
find it's shut!, so it was no option but to
big ring it down to the ferry & get across
to Windermere. The first sight the pair were
confronted with at Ambleside YHA. was
hundreds of kids running around &
screaming..!! (That's Bollocks)
Kidder & Chiefy had the foresight to book a
2 bed dorm 'What a blessing'.
After a shower it was time for tea, the
restaurant was all but empty apart from two
little kids running around annoying the
pair. Kidder exerted his authority & cleared
the kids off. With tea gobbled up it was off
to Ambleside town for some liquid
refreshments. The pair arrived back at the
YHA. at about 10.30pm, & made the long climb
up to the attic-room where they were
sleeping. The TV. was switched on, only to
find Big Brother, 'Bollocks to that'
time for some shut eye. |
