Me too....as I tipped my hat!
Annual T6F Pilgrimage To Bala Lake - 25th-28th May 2018
Just goes to show you can buy anything on the internet nowadays
Great to meet up with everyone and crack a few beers around the fire pits. Can’t beleive I only live round the corner from @BiTurbo 
Small world. Sorry we missed you @Dannyb6467 thought we’d make the most of the dry spell and feck off home. Good job we did as we currently have 7 buckets full of water from our leaky conservatory roof. The dog would have been swimming

It’s unbelievable how quick this place has dried out today. Our awning felt like a water bed with a puddle of water between the footprint and groundsheet- when you walked on it yesterday the table and chairs all moved with the water cushion but it’s all dried out now. Speaking to Megan (owner), she has had the site 35 years and, whilst the site had been a lot wetter before and the lake a lot higher, the rain that came yesterday is the worst she can remember during a camping season. She had to borrow a bowser from a local farmer so they could dig holes and trenches around the worst parts where people had several inches of water in their tents to suck the water out.Operation dry-out has begun..
Crickey, that is bad. The boat park at the sailing academy was very similar; underwater. Dry as a bone today.
People in the sea in bikini’s. Madness. It may be 28deg air temp, but the water is still blooming cold.
Amazes me how many people here let their young kids go out unsupervised and without bouyancy aids, etc.. The creek is shallow for large areas but drops off very quickly in parts.
Home now and van emptied.
Had a fabulous weekend spent with great company. Thanks to everyone who helped out @BiTurbo for the loan of your heater, @Pauly & @Loz for the tweaks to my van, @Fish for help with setting up. Good to meet @Deaky and the disco van and nice to meet @Ed Webb. Always a pleasure to see @andythom188, @DaveyB @Davenjo and nice of @Peatey & @Dannyb6467 to take the time to drop in for a visit
Night out in Bala was good fun especially with the free bus and it was a really chilled group which made for a very relaxing time. Weather was a bit of a disappointment at times but enjoyed going out on the boat with Chris.
Thank you to everyone for making me feel welcome and looking forward to our next gathering.
Title of best fire build has to go to @Pauly & Travis for building a towering inferno. It never rained after that as it was so hot it melted the clouds.

@Lord Mfwic - free bus?
Yeah, the bus into town is free.
Been coming here for years and didn't know about that!! Maybe a service reserved for Lords?Yeah, the bus into town is free.
Perhaps we were meant to pay. He did say something as we walked on but couldn't understand him, sounded as if he was speaking a different language.
He probably sounded a bit like @andythom188. Would have thought he could’ve at least acted as translator for you all. What was the point in taking him otherwise.Perhaps we were meant to pay.

Yes boyoHe probably sounded a bit like @andythom188. Would have thought he could’ve at least acted as translator for you all. What was the point in taking him otherwise.
Since it transpires that Gary is an actual Lord so I bestowed his title upon him
