Ty Powdwr Bonfire Meet


Members: John Castick, Roger Dyke, Kirsten Mundt, Christine Beeston, Rob Allen, Al Metelko, Trish Cranston, Lester Payne, Dave Shotton, Bob Milward, Dave Wylie and Mark Ashley

                      

Saturday dawned showery and dull, Kirsten and I went for a low level walk with Dave W, via the Cabane.  Various people went for a tour of gear shops and cafes in Llanberis, with Dave and Lester having a tasty pumpkin soup in Caffi Sam.

Roger popped over from Rhoscolyn for the evening, and we all enjoyed a nice quiet bonfire on quite a clear night, with mulled wine from Kirsten and some home-made toffee from Trish.  Later on, Bob (back from Canada and attending his first KMC meet for years) entertained us with his banjo in the lounge, singing some traditional KMC songs.

Sunday was really very wet for most of the day.  Rob, Kirsten and I attempted an ascent of Elidir Fawr, but an hour into the walk decided that we were wet enough already and retreated back to the hut.  Several people helped to clear out the kitchen and dorms in advance of the core drilling/heating and ventilation work scheduled for the following weeks.  John, Dave and Lester kindly stayed on for much of the following week to liaise with the core drillers.

Thanks to all for a quiet and friendly weekend, and to Dave S for his help with the meet report.
