Okay, I confess - Banjo is a good looking fella and nothing like Mick Philpott at all.
Here's the link to my photos. My theory is that if you take enough then some might be okay!

Another fine weekend in Wales! I never thought I'd say that again after October's good weather but this was even better. Great company too - what a fine bunch of people there are on CycleChat.
Always fun to listen to CCelt's forthright views and to find someone who swears as much as me and la belle Claudine. He doesn't drink as much as us though!
Good to catch up with Rob, User482-Steve, Banjo always funny and talking sense, and new to me HLaB and kins. Ossie did amazingly well on such little training and really enjoyed the ride and meeting you all.
Fabulous route with a few little lumps to enable us to appreciate the panoramas
Banjo's description of the climb up the Bwllch as a gradual incline was more than slightly misleading but HLaB and User482 made it look easy!
Thanks to Rob and Banjo for rustling up the pit pony bolognaise on Friday - a Masterchef challenge!
The abiding memory of the weekend though has to be the vision of pink loveliness known locally as Jasmin (but clearly Charlotte Church having fallen on hard times). The Oddfellows Inn was full of them before we even walked in. Enough fart gas from the barflies to power the lights in the pub - did you notice the lights failed when they went home? Possibly more female flesh on view than was wise but we manfully resisted the siren attractions of Blodwyn et al even when one of the young ones revealed her new tattoo in a hidden spot and her mother competed by showing hers, on her right breast.
What sort of boozer has three types of smoothflow bitter, no real ale, two crap lagers and no Guinness? Wouldn't have missed it though and Jasmin belting out her numbers will stick in the memory till my senility gets even worse.
Cheers everyone for making it memorable.
