By all accounts, it was a splendid do. The bonfire was built from subterranean levels upward by Mark. He had been collecting fallen wood from around the hut. Some of the wood, while technically being dead wood and parted from the main tree, hadn't made it all the way down to the ground. As a consequence of this, Mark expended so much energy building the bonfire that he forwent the intended task of going for a run. He said it would be too easy in comparison and didn't want to wind down with a run. Dave Wylie and Levi dispatched most of the fire works into the night. To complete the fire side ethics, Mark got up really early to dowse the ashes and re-lay the turf he'd removed the previous day. He had the help of Cathy with the jigsaw puzzle.

Sunday was occupied with people looking for the best venue for the day. Tremadoc had the best sunshine, so the Rob's reported. The worst overtaking was witnessed by Roger and Bridgit towards Pen Trewin, which put them off doing too much for the rest of the day. Other teams spread out over Wales, reporting the sights. The worst rain was in the Llanberis pass. The most spectacular fire works were seen above the Idwal slabs. The most worried people were seen in the car parks down below Cwm Idwal. The worst head torch couldn't be seen on Idwal Slabs.

All in all, a good do. Cheers to all who arrived.

This is the bonfire do. Vinny has volunteered himself for the pole position and no doubt will provide great amusement, in his own flamboyant way.
