Imagine this five hour ago  you finished work.  Got together with the rest of the gang  filled up  the mini bus  and headed west to Snowdonia.

After Five hours of travelling including a stop for Fish and Chips a staple on the way to a weekend of Hill  walking.

You arrive  at  the camp site (Bethgelate  - Forestry Commission  site Very good at the time )  As you have been before and have confirmed your pitch  to direct  the mini bus to the pitch.

Now remember you are in the middle of a campsite in the middle of the Snowdonia National Park and it Pitch Black except for the minibus  head light.

The shout goes up  "we're here!!"   you open the side step out into the night and ........

 

.....  promptly drop 10 feet down on to  the pitch below.

Your lying in a heap with your dignity nowhere to be found and all you can here is laughter  ( Well when you look back it must  have been funny .)

Well  that was me.   I now use a touch to see before getting out of  vehicle ( at  night ).

By the way the  the walk was a great success with no injuries  ( well except my pride)

 

If you have any funny walking anecdote head to to the forum and tells all about them.

 

Come Christmas the best one will win a prize.!!  -  votes by you...
