Could 'Rourky's Bash' go annual?

by Rourky

After entertaining over 30 of you last February in a bunkhouse in Bwlch for the weekend, yomping on an extended horseshoe up Pen y Fan, Cribyn, Corn Ddu and Fan y Big. Then a nice jolly (including ice cream) at Pontneddfechan waterfalls. I am again throwing it out there for comment to see if some peeps want another crack at the Brecon Beacons this year. I am proposing wk end of 11th Feb 2012. Your thoughts would be welcome. If enough interest we will again go global.

Hey you guys can I thank you all for such a cracking time this weekend and making the effort to travel over here. Huge thanks must also go to Ali & Brooky for sorting digs and to Al for his wonderful fry ups.
Now i'm in and relaxed i can't stop laughing at the weekends events, a really good get together with some gems and im not only talking people but incidents too. Really pleased to see so many new faces and the fact that they all fitted in so well with the rabble that is 'OD', i salute you all, you took to it like ducks to water. hopefully see you all next year at the aptly entitled 'Rourkys bash goes bananas' . Thankyou all once again.

The Mind is Willing 13/02/2012 17:56

Glad you both enjoyed the weekend guys - we enjoyed your company.

I'm sure you'll have fun taking the Helm Stagazer

FL get real there is only one anthem, Welsh National but hey why would you know that!

davem 25/10/2011 12:33

Nop !! I think that could be the theme of the captain and manager of the English rugby team after their cock ups (literally and physically) in the world cup!!!!!

Forever lost 24/10/2011 20:08

What anthem that ali "Baby its cold outside" by Tom and Cary's in the hope they may close the roof <img src='theme/emoticon_wink.png' />lol

ali-bach 20/10/2011 16:23

Hiya Dave how you doing, us Welsh know passion! our Saesneg mates can only dream about it! That feeling when you are in the milleniumm stadium the hairs on the back of your neck stand up when the anthem (and we do have the best one!) starts, oh I can feel it now, it is so emotional! <img src='theme/emoticon_wink.png' />
