Morning all

We arrived at the hotel yesterday afternoon to find Elv playing host outside the entrance with a cigarrete in one hand and a drink in the other. He informed us that the welsh conntingent were already ensconced in one of the local pubs and that the local chip shop count was 6.

Hving dumped the bags we joined Simon and Tiam in the ootel bar for a sharpener. Looks like we'll be spending most of our time down one of the local pubs because it's 3 quid a piint in the hotel.

Smudge, Jules Richard and Sian turned up just as we were leavnng for the pub so we stopped for another swift one.

Down the hill and we found Jon, Garaint, Zai and Serene in "the Fish Pond" pub. Obviously a local favorite and it was band night so the crowd was 'vibrant" (in a Derbyshire sort of way...)

Panic when we found out that the chippies all shut at 9pm, so we dashed down and got some grease in.

Back to the pub and a last orders was on us surprisingly quickly. Bubble and I were knackered so we retired for the evennng. The Welsh were promising to descimate the whisky shelf in the hotel bar on their return. off down to breakfast now to find out wheter they followed through on it or not.

Missing you Dave, will update later today or tomorrow. With pictures if possible.
