WW 24th November 2021

 

The forecast is for a cold, damp, cloudy, dark evening ... so what to do? Well it's Wednesday so no choice really. Out to Two Bridges and gently along by the new stile to the always superb Wistman's. It is always better in the evening and a nice spot for a cuppa. Very little wind so not too cold after all. A warming stretch up to Longaford to the summit, of course. Now the stars start to pop out and as we wend our way the moon softly rises. A really lovely evening after all.

Did not even bother with the Two Bridges, on to the ever reliable Prince of Wales which was actually rather busy. We speculated on the drinkers at the adjacent table and reckon they are putative ice warriors getting ready to trek to the New North Pole. Mind you if they needed their fully zipped Patagonia duvets in the pub they might find it a bit of a chilly trek. And then we were amazed to be educated in the new technology which provides more than enough data for a whole evening - perhaps we will go straight to the pub in future.

We had our usual very leisurely pint and were very, very disappointed not to be thrown out - after all we always get thrown out nowadays, I think one of your committee went to the bar to complain, so hopefully in future we will get the full treatment.
