Penwyllt the preferred caving accommodation

Just thought I'd share these words from the next generation of cavers.

My elder son was talking with me about where he would like to go caving next time.

'I like Wales', he said.

'Why's that', I asked.

'I like the cottage'.

'Oh. What was good about it', I asked.

'The stairs. And the smell'.

'What did it smell like, son'.

'Old people'.

Pause while I let this sink in.

'And what do old people smell like'.

'Soap'.

It's actually two summers ago that they were there. I suppose the cavers are now much older and even cleaner than they were in 2005.

Believe it or not (I don't) the pub scenes were filmed in the changing rooms.  :eek:

Actually the pub scenes out side were of the changing rooms, the inside was a studio set. But let's not let the truth get in the way of a good story.

Well seeing as it's Torchwood, of course don't let the truth get in the way of a good story. The idea of beer in the changing rooms is an idea a member might like to put to the comimttee.

I may regret asking, but what's the Marmite Challenge? I like Marmite - is it likely to put me off?  :unsure:

Absolutely you really really don't want to know because it can cause serious embarrassment and distress to anyone who witnesses it.
