South Wales!

My trip to Wales was amazing! The country side was gorgeous, and we could see the seaside from the hills when the clouds weren't too low. We left friday night, drove for five hours, stopping to spend 150 quid on food for the weekend, and arrived round 1am. The University of Kent was there as well, and we stayed up till 4am playing games. Among them was the squeezebox game: Two boards, held together by two screws, which can be tightened to narrow the gap. Try and fit through, tighten screws, repeat. The stick game: You stand on a bottle, each with a stick, and try to knock the other person off balance by hitting their stick with yours. The rock game: Put your head on one chair, your heels on another, pick up a large rock and try to pass it round your body as many times as you can. Record was 48 times. And the can game: Place your feet at the line, place your hands on two cans. Stretch forward and, while leaning precariously on one can, place the other as far as you can (marked by the green bottle) and then try to make it back to the starting line using just the one can.

Saturday we spend about 8 hrs in the cave, climbing waterfalls, dropping into streams, and chimneying all over. It was a great combination of a lot of things: Length, technical stuff, great photo ops. We were soaked by the time we reached the last waterfall, also the biggest, and we got a great picture of us all standing beneath it. I haven't got it yet (it's on someone elses camera) but i'll post it eventually. Sunday we did another quick caving trip, as well as some hiking, and then headed back. All in all it was TONS of fun, and I can't wait till next weekend! Meanwhile though my computer has been acting up, with the screen sporadically not working/functioning. My RA said her computer did the same thing just before the motherboard fried. Lets cross our fingers for my not having to buy a new computer in London! That's it for me, i'll post again soon. Hope you like the pics!
