Tanybwlch Or Bust - The 2004 Vintage Gala

So ended an excellent weekend, one of the best Vintage Weekends held on the Ffestiniog.  I would like to thank all the volunteers for their hard work that made the event possible and gave the appearance of everything running smoothly, even when it was clearly not the case.  Finally, thanks for letting a few of us gate-crash the Sunday evening Beer Train to Tan-y-Bwlch, from the sounds coming from No 14, a good time was had by all!
