I believe the reason 'tites' come down is due to poor quality elastic ...however that's by the by - so you want to go UP?
Well, we've done the hot air balloon, so that's out. We could ride the 'up' escalator at The Trafford Centre, but there's a chance the window shopping could become real shopping ...not a good idea.
The London Eye is far too expensive and you have to queue for ages.
The Eiffel Tower is in France which means we'd have to speak to them!
Bungy jumping could suffer like the stalagtites.
It's a problem....BUT as usual I've solved it! ...we will go to the top of Snowdon, but on the mountain railway. This way you get fresh air, but not tired legs - and you see lots of sheep
Meet at Llanberis (the starting station) on Saturday for the 9am departure*
* we can get the 'early bird special' return on this @ £11..if 10 or more take the trip this goes down to £9
The journey takes about an hour so a flask and some eggy sandwiches might be a good idea - it can be chilly on't mountain at this time of year. You can wear leg warmers providing they don't clash with the colour of the carriages or upset the sheep.

I'm still trying to work out the difference between Stalagmitesand Stalagtites
I think I just about got it.
The Mites go up
and The Tites come down...
Anyway after dining with Fred Flintstone's friends and family, I can only say... I'm happy to be breathing fresh air again...
Next time, may I suggest we go up instead of down?
Ta very muchly,

....Yep, this is how we ended up after our spell in the medical centre Poor Pen, I know that she wasn't happy about the fact that it meant that her hair wasn't able to flow freely .
Oh, and as for that 'Channel No.5'...don't even get me started on that! Just look at what it's done to me
...Just when things couldn't get any worse

The evening started off well, with winning the hand cream and busting our nuts....however when we went underground things went from bad to worse. I tripped on a banana skin some little sh*t had dropped which sent me flying down the cave crashing into Pen and Trek on the way. Good job Dave was wearing his leather trousers and I slide sideways and finished up in a pool. Now you would expect the water to be fresh down there, but it was stagnant and smelly. I had to use my supply of hand cream to get rid of the 'whiff'
Anyway, we all went to the medical centre located on a rock at 250ft and got bandaged up. THIS MADE MATTERS WORSE You see all the other visitors mistook us for gouls and ghosts and kept prodding us and laughing. I don't know if anyone has ever been prodded in the dark 300ft down? - it is not pretty We eventually got to our reserved table for the meal - wild deer rissoles and chips. It wasn't bad, but could have done with some 'Branston'.
We explored the caves after that, listened to a talk on stalagmites and visited the gift shop for souvenirs. I bought a nice rock shaped like a carrot (or similar) which was over 3,000 years old, Trek got some prehistoric golf clubs and a couple of rock balls (it won't improve her game methinks). Pen bought a ninth century hair dryer which plugs straight into a wood burning stove and gives you lovely charcoal curles. Dave got a years volume of 'Rock bikes through the ages' in a rather nice stone volume binder. Emz decided on some 'Channel number 5' perfume which came from the actual channel five which runs through the caves (just underneath the toilet block - on the left).
We came up at 2.30 this morning bedraggled, bandaged and bewildered (nice title for a song?). It was still raining

We all entered the Conker match and won a years supply of hand cream to help with dish washer hands and to calm all our bruises from conkering and caving.
We probably won cause we were the only team there as we were a few days early...but as they say an early worm catches the prize..or something like that

I'm bringing a small flashlight, just in case. If you want me to flash at you anytime tonight just shout out 'Johnny remember me' followed by 'eeek'

In fact, I'm not keen on anything thats green and croaks. - you've heard Hughie Green is no longer with us?? (I mean that most sincerely folks!)
On a lighter note;
We're gonna need some 'Underground Mood Music' - 'Down, down' from Status Quo?...'Deeper and deeper' - Freda Payne? or perhaps 'Rock with the caveman' by Tommy Steele??

'Don't Sleep In The Subway' by Pet Clake or maybe 'Subterranean Homesick Blues' By Bob Dylan...

I must admit, this trip sounds fascinating.
Dining three hundred feet underground will definitely be a 'first' for me.
Will Suki double up as the Cook?..I wonder.
I'm skint at the moment, and was wondering if a Single Dare tour would be half the price?.. .
I could economise on the candle, by wearing a Miners helmet too.
Anyhow, all this excitement is just sinking in... And I'm sure that other queries will follow....

Ooooooohhhhhh a ghosthunting expedition! Well Pen, we may need a large supply of conkers yet alone tablets- the conkers we can throw at the ghosts and hope they return them! Or if we get bored, we could throw them at the other guests, being in almost pitch darkness they could think it was paranormal
....I think I'm gonna have a lorra fun...hehehehe.
