Vernwy Trip 23rd - 25th March
Sorry it has taken me so long but I had other
things to do, Before you go on please bear in mind that this is my first time
and I am not a story teller by trade so if anyone finds it hurtful or boring,
tough shit In the absence of mike and any other sucker that
wanted to write up this weekend it fell to me. The intention of all of us was to
go canoeing on the Vernwy, with odds on that I was going to swim and Richard
rubbing his hands together at the prospect of £15 because the two most likely
candidates of swimming Kate and My self were his sweepstakes, (Tough Shit
Richard better look next time). There was Me, Jamie, Phil, Graham, Beast, Fish
Lips, Kate, Richard, Stuart. We got away from the shed Friday night, we got all
the food from Tesco and the ingredients for Phil and Jamies curry with the
mysterious Meat. Every one got an ample amount of beer for two nights apart from
the beer monster (Richard) who empty the shelves in Tesco. We then headed of as
my navigator I had the beast (turned out to be a mistake), the problem was mat
couldn’t read a map didn’t know his left and right, and was more interested
in the radio then getting us to the cottage. Dave stuck to his 50 Mph speed
limit, sorry maximum speed and managed to nearly kill us all with the fumes from
his car.
We did eventually get to the Cottage, it was so cold, the nominated
arsonist or the only one of us who had an idea how to start a fire was Jamie,
with his fire ‘poking’ skills.
Friday was quite a chilled night The beer monster drank most of his beers
and all the rest of us had a few drinks and talked crap all night. We went to
bed in the early hours of the morning although not all of us went to sleep
straight away (Draw your own conclusions) but just one thing on this matter the
parties concerned please try to keep the squeaks to a minimum, They got Mat
rather excited guessing what was going on.
Saturday Morning was very clean and crisp and after a short fight over
who had the frying pan we were all enjoying our greasy sandwiches outside. Kate
did eventually get up and we could then set off for a great day canoeing or so
we thought. We got down to the river and found there was a dribble running down.
So it was decided that we would have a trip to the seaside, maybe do a bit of
surfing but there wasn’t even a bloddy wave. We wandered around there like a
bunch of tourists and trying to get boomerang that cost a quid to work. We got
back to the cottage and started to drink Jamie and Phil threw together the curry
including the bits that fell on the floor (I saw you). The curry was fantastic
especially the meat which was kept a secret until everyone had taken a couple of
mouthfuls, and Jamie let slip that it was in fact Rabbit. Later once we had all
had a lot to drink, it started to snow and fell pretty quickly. So it was
decided that we should have a snowball fight, which was pathetic as know one
could through in a straight line, It was suggested that we should go sledging,
after getting kitted out and pulling the spud of my car we where on the hill at
the side of the cottage, it was a laugh and after sledging on our arses for a
while Beast came up with an idea to jump over two barbed wire fences and go down
the other hill which was extremely quick and really hurt when you fell off, I am
still carrying the scars. Kate decided she felt like being a hurdler and a
sprinter at the same time over the barbed wire fences. This wasn’t because of
her keeping it had something to do with the drink she had consumed, Mat went off
in chase up to the woods.
Sunday morning started of as a great day for canoeing warm sunny and very
clear apart from the foot of snow that lay on the lane. We were going to try and
find some water today but yet again there was nothing so we decided to drive
home early and ended up in the swimming pool apart from the miserable gits and
the porpers. One
other interesting fact is that I went to teeside last weekend and
