[TR] How not to do Moel Eilio

[lostme1]

Great TR. Did you say there was some rain. Your river of mud is reminiscent of the Essex bridleways and paths. Water and clay make a great combination  .

Just remember the Flanders and Swann song - Mud, mud, glorious mud

[Mel]

Thanks everyone     
 
sussamb and domtheone and pleb - Glad you noticed the weather, I forgot to mention that it was raining 
 
phil1960 - I'm sorry but I don't believe it's actually physically possible to take a cagoule off in Wales 
 
Ridge - definitely no chance of any of that heatstroke malarkey 
 
DevonDave - aye, I've dried out now 
 
Fernman - thank you.  I enjoy writing them 
 
videoman - cheers.  It was a good couple of days, despite the weather.  Obviously I was really glad to get back to work 
 
redeye - is there such a thing as a dry day in Wales.  The quarry is definitely worth a poke around - a little hidden gem 
 
Penygadair - Aye, shame you couldn't make it and I hope Mrs P's recovery is going well 
 
Jac - cheers.  Fear not, I'm sure there will be plenty more walks in the pouring rain for you to choose from 
 
Dovegirl - yep, you've got to have a giggle in the absence of views, sunshine and the absence of open cafes 
 
Welsh Rambler - I recon it would be a fab walk in the autumn when all the trees are turning 
 
lostme1 - I feel your pain with the clay mud, it's the same where I live with chalk and clay.  Potters don't call water and clay "slip" for nothing

An enjoyable read, thanks Mel.  Nice photos too!    I was, at one point, considering joining you all for a couple of days.....but then I saw the weather forecast and thought better of it!
It did look like you all had fun though, despite the rain 

[Mel]

Cheers sunnydale.  Andy did mention you almost joined us.... I think the weather conditions might have been mentioned 

[Jim Parkin]

Yes, thanks for the walk

[Mel]

Cheers Jim.  T'was good to meet you

Great report Mel, very funny reading 

[adalard]

That was a fantastic read, Mel. Great write up, really enjoyed it and had a good chuckle. 


Looks like you all still had a good time, even if the weather was ropey - certainly a better time than the goats and the cows, who all look decidedly glum! 

[Mel]

Cheers April.  Good to see you and Beefy back on the forum again 
 
Cheers adalard.  Aye, it was a good couple of days away, despite the rain

Cheers Chris.  'Twas good to see you and Andy again.
 
If it's any consolation, the day you guys went home, it was lovely and sunny and I had a nice 5 mile walk to the castle and then across to the waterfalls
