Such a long time since Welsh Bicknor...
...our first ever Leam Boat Centre Activity Club Walking Holiday!!
Here goes!
Some of us arrived on Good Friday to meet Andy who had already well and truly settled in with his tent and his portable DVD player and Spiderman (1, 2 or 3, I can't remember but he watched most of them anyway!). We saw the river 3 foot higher than normal, and last year and thought "hummmm! Let's wait until tommorrow" After pitching our tent Ian and Suzanne arrived while we were off chopping down rather large trees in the wood (yes, it had already fallen over and was blocking a possible hedgehog path). Once we had enough fire wood we built the fire pit and played with a vortex and flingy thing as well as a large tennis ball that was painful to catch. Then, after some exercise we decided to go to the pub. Then it hailed. Then it rained. We walked back to the campsite to see that Adrian, Carin, Julia and Sarah had also arrived. As it was raining we decided to make our way to the YHA kitchen to have dinner because:
a) It was raining
b) It was cold
c) It was dark
and d) It was windy!
Nevertheless it was a lovely dinner and we all got too help by either washing up or cooking - Yaaaaay washing up!
We went outside again and stood around the lovely warm fire doing tribal dances (that mainly involved dodging the smoke all night)
That was the events of Good Friday. Saturday and Sunday and Monday will follow shortly, likewise the pictures, please leave us a comment by clicking on the title of this article (at the top, "Welsh Bicknor 2008") about the trip and if you want to write a summary of one of the days.

It was all 3 of the films, well I never sleep much.
And you forgot to mention the frozen milk, car pushing at the end and, dare I mention it, the younger Sinclair's cooking offerings.
So all in all a good time, are you ready for next year??
