God, I thought I'd be able to stay away from this one!!

One Dragon only - 1973 I think it was. On a mountaintop above Colwyn Bay (I think).

Snow.

Tent (v. small) with three of us in it. On a slope.

Rained. Water in through uphill end, through tent, and out downhill.

Sleeping bag split. Down-filled, it was.

Breakfast - bacon, eggs and feathers.

On way home, on CB750K1, across A75 to Stranraer.

Fuse went in middle of the S-bend under railway - instant blackness (was 3am)

Pillion passenger woke up(!!)

Not happy - well, it was his bike!!!!!

Kept badge to remind me - never to do it again.

begger you lot -- I'd forgotten all this and am not happy to remember it all again!!
