CU Weekend Away in Conwy
Tuesday, April 15th, 2008This weekend I had a really excellent weekend away in Conwy. Our CU shared the weekend away with Emma’s church. This meant that we could have a hokiday as a CU< which otherwise wouldn't have been possible.
The highlight of the weekend for me was definitely climbing Crib Goch with Tim, Mandy, Ben, Ben, Steve, Cesar, Katherine, and a couple of other people whose names escape me. Crib Goch, if you are not aware, is a mountain in the region around Snowdonia. The original intention had been to climb Crib Goch, then climb up to Snowdonia. Unfortunately, this wasn’t possible due to the weather starting to look quite bad, and me having boots that had little or no grip.
However, during the time, we did still manage to see some beautiful sights. The panorama below shows the view from half way up Crib Goch:
Another of my favourite pictures was the one you can see below:
A lot more pictures are available to see on Alastair’s flickr page. Here they can be viewed full, or however you want.
A lot of people have been having birthdays recently. One of those people was Ben Youd (Emma’s boyfriend, and a good friend from CU), who received a Nikon D80. I recommend you head over to see |yearn|only|until|dawn|, his photoblog on aminus3. I’ve been quite impressed so far, because most people who say ‘daily updates’ actually mean ‘I’ll update once or twice, then quit forever’. A good example of such a person is Monika Roberts, but it looks as though Ben actually means it so far. Good job! I was going to comment on how bad the name of his blog was. Then I remember what mine was called, and decided silence on that subject would be better.
To be honest, the weekend for me made me realise just how fantastic the people in my CU are. There’s only a few of us, but I’ll have to say I’m lucky to have such good friends. It was also very special to meet the people from the Word of Life church again, having not seen them since I broke up with Emma.
