One more week to go... one more week of sorrow..


I hope you've told Mrs Lawson :-)
I think she's the one with the sorrow...

Oh yes.... misses me when I'm away, but always very supportive. "Oh
yes.... that's it.... you just go and enjoy yourself" she said. ;o)

Had a glorious evening up at Llyn Idwal last night - Alec, I hope that
you're listening....


Um..... room for one or two more Dave?


fer sure - more the merrier. We can have a crack at Llyn Ogwen (they
have some boats available) or Bochlwyd which is a bit more of a walk than
Idwal - but not as bad as Ffynnon Lloer which nearly killed Andy.

I think that the river will probably be too low, unless we get a real
downpour. Whatever. Check out the official OVAA site at:

You'd be well advised to bring some midge repellent.. the little beggars
were busy up at Idwal the other night. AS for flies - small, black and
hairy - black & peacock spider, small bibio etc...

The 'links' page has a link to some very nice photos of the area.


Looking forward to seeing you all, let me know what's happening (that'll
be a first..)

Well.... Reg and myself will be arriving Thursday, so we've got the Friday
to do a little bit of fishing as well I hope. What do you think Reg? Idwal
is quite a long and uphill walk but it is a good path. It's a beautiful
place to fish and a wonderful view down the Ogwen Valley. All depends on how
your legs are nowadays.

If we are on for it Dave, would you be able to arrange for some tickets for
us? If I recall, it's the same ticket for both Idwal and Ogwen (apart from
boat cost on Ogwen)?

Regards,

Andy Lawson
