The Leaving Party

The Leaving Party

Party and the off

We're off again on our travels!!!
After months of thinking about it, formulating the plan, booking our flights and last minute packing we were in need of a farewell party with a fine mix of Tod harriers, Calderdale tri club members and West Mount Vets staff. The theme was Heros and Villains, creating a good opportunity to get the fancy dress box out. Mr and Mrs Incredible hosted the party with fine attendences from Dangermouse, Trinity, Bonnie and Clyde, Calamity Jane and Wyatt Earp (or was it Woody from Toy Story), Number 1, Santa, The one and only miniture hero and may more.
Two weeks since the party now and our Bikes and bags are packed. A marathon has been run and we are ready to go......

MERRY BLOODY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

25th December 2011
Now I would say I´m a fairly easy going guy (others may disagree), but to be woke at 2am by the thumping of music is one thing to get my back-up. The party started at 2am and was to continue on until 6 that morning. The guy who had warned us wasn´t kidding either, the noise was so loud you could hear yourself think. I gave it till 3, then I broke! Pulling on my trousers (inside out) and with no t-shirt I ventured down stairs to inquire if they might be able to find the volume control and turn it down. The initial response was a rather startled looking guy, who on reflection was probably trying to figure out whether I was wearing a see-through t-shirt or if I have a strange tan (he was right with the latter). The second guy however was a bit more coherent, though not at all helpful and told me if I wasn´t happy I could leave in the morning and have a refund for that night. I returned to bed and found Sarah awake now and this is how we spent the rest of the night, awake!
When the morning did arrive we went downstairs to have breakfast and to tell them we were leaving. When we got down stairs there was an silence, which no-one seemed to want to break, that was untill the South african guy came down and asked if anyone was kept awake by the noise last night. We weren´t the only ones!
After breakfast we informed the girl behind reception that we intended leaving and wouldn´t be paying for the previous night, she kept on apolagising. So, we packed and headed off to a campsite which we had been told about at the tourist infomation.
The great thing about the bad night is that we are now at a very nice campsite which has everything we need, including phone which we can use to call the folks.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERY BODY!!!!
