Belated Report of Keshing the Toad's Ass.

Day two began......

It was going to emerge with two familiar things. The first was the pointing at stuff, and the second was floaty things.

Having got used to the idea of floaty water lumps of steel a nice man decided he was going to tell me about floaty water steel that also does floaty air:nenau

I spent the day with him, and I'm still not convinced that all this "history" wasn't just the result of mind expanding drugs.

The most important thing was to start the day with the possibly drug addled kind man doing some pointing.....

He found pictures to support the floaty water/air steel theory, but I still suspect the drugs. He keeps putting this pipe in his mouth. It could be some kind of disguised bong.

I felt the situation would be safest if I retreated to the safety within my hat....

This fantasy seemed quite well developed, so I suspect lots of drugs......

He showed us where these fantasy floats where launched and maintained from....

And where they put the juice in to make them go....

There was a nice tunnel to keep little floaty things in too.

Our next stop threw the drug theory out of the window completely.

You can't make this kind of stuff up, and the Church of Ireland cemetery, recently re-turfed within the Commonwealth War Graves area was a sobering and moving place.

Normal service was shortly restored with more fantastical stories about this being some kind of mess...

I couldn't see any mess anywhere, except that which we'd made ourselves leaving noisy smelly motorbikes everywhere...

We followed the other bikes up a hill and through some woods.

We even followed some going up in reverse....

My gallant struggle prevented me having to collect the GSA from the bottom of the hill.....

But the view was stunning.....

And someone had been playing dominos with the trees.

The nice man had spent all day pointing at stuff for us, and I was ashamed to have even considered my early drug theories.

I was still suspicious of the pipe in his hand though ;)

Thanks Arthur for an excellent, educational, and enjoyable day.
 
These two however definitely looked like they were on drugs though........

No comment on the Shapeshifting Robster......

And I came away looking somewhat the worse for wear, but with loads of new shiny bits to put on the bike thanks to the raffle.....

I had to retire for the night at this point...........Maybe it was me that needed the drugs :yikes
 
So, Day 3.....

We wandered off led by Aiden, and the lovely Mandy and went to a rock piling festival in Newcastle.

Here, not only do you pile up the rocks, but then you get prizes for riding bikes over the top of them.

Now this was really strange behavior.....

At this point the card on the camera was full up :blast

We went back to sample the wonderful fare laid on by the lovely Mandy.

We retired to bed that night happy and tired Toads.

So, what will I remember Kesh for?

Piles of stone, pointing, and floaty things:thumb2

That and a great weekend surrounded by top company and lovely scenery.

Top event all.....

See you all when we get back to Ireland for Tipperary later in the year, or in Wales in a months time for those that are going to be there.

Getting all excited already :bounce1
 
Enjoyed your company on the big floaty thing home, great report. I'm going to get a pipe like that nice man I think :D
