Three Castles, Welsh Borders. 24-25 June 1999

We suitably beat the bounds of the Welsh Borders in excellent weather, reclaiming the Three Castles for the English.

The triangular 21-mile walk was duly completed by the Killicks although Mad Mike probably covered 42 miles, half of which on his own, due to his unwavering ability to keep losing his way. 'It's the bloody signpost's fault — it's pointing in the wrong direction' being about the lamest of excuses.

The Poet Laureate is expected to produce an appropriate poem about the romantic ruins of the old coaching inn, lost in the middle of nowhere, almost as lost as her camera case but nowhere near as lost as Mad Mike.

Reconvening at Birdman's cottage in Tintern allowed Mad Mike to display his greater skills around the dog agility course.

While Huw "Megabyte" Jenkins failed abysmally to make the meet, he followed up a couple of weeks later to help the Medlands conquer the Skirrid, the lump overhanging Abergavenny and in sight of the 3 CW.

Participants: "Mad" Mike Petzold, Verena "Muesli" Petzold and Maisie "Poet Laureate" Petzold, John "Koenig von Mulanje" Killick, Anne Killick, plus Bob "Birdman" Medland and Claire and two Border collies
