Grant dropped Em & I off about 7.30 p.m. at the Clarendon Hotel. Very dated hotel, looked a little like something from a Victoria Wood sketch (Two soups!), in fact I was expecting candlewick bedspreads, but it was somewhere to sleep (or so I thought) before the off. We eventually found our room after having a real laugh doing Lee Evans impersonations about the different floor levels & stairs.We dumped our bags and headed for the bar to order some food & drink. It was quite funny (looking back now) because we were eyeing people up trying to decide who was doing the ride and who wasn’t. We both observed that there were some ‘very’ skinny women! Bitches! But then a girl went to the bar who we decided was most definitely NOT doing the ride! We then spotted ‘The Ox’ ‘The Bison (or baby Ox)’ & ‘The Goat’ who we’d been ‘introduced’ to on the DA forum. Two of them were quite easy to spot being ‘big’ chaps, I say big in the nicest possible sense. Anyway we introduced ourselves to Mark, Dave & Damo.
After a brief chat with the guys, Em & I decided it was time to get some sleep!! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!! That’s the sound of hysterical laughter!! If Em thrashed around, huffed & puffed once, then she did it a thousand times!! I don’t know how I kept my hands off her (probably coz I was so tired too!)
Then the alarm call came. It was 5.00a.m.!!!!
