Happy Birthday K.Dogg, Ricardo + Dancing Jess

At various delicious moments throughout the day, vehicles rammed full of beaming people arrived at our new postcode and stretched away the hours of loyal travelling they'd endured to make this celebration happen. Moments later, cozzies were lashed on + we were all piling into the heart stoppingly shiver inducing plunge pool of the vast reservoir. There was no dithering about it, we had to make it to the other side. Gasping about, still trying to catch up and attempting not to giggle, as this would surely mean sinking a sorry premature departure to the highly anticipated reunion of a load of awesome people. A few thick skinned hard-corers remained at waist height entertaining a game of beach ball whilst the rest of us shuddered our way up the hill to towel off + open the nibbles + sickly slurps of warm cider. An idyllic hour or two was had on the waters bank, with the eclectic range of bottoms moving eagerly from person to person, lapping up recent news and relishing in over excitable exchanges about this thoroughly stunning setting we'd found ourselves in. After the skies opened up and the surrounding mountains began strobe lighting in an almighty electric storm, we tumbled to the nearest pub (which sort of happened to be a pretty smart hotel ) complete with ludicrous beach attire and various pairs of feet leaving naked muddy trails around the impeccably shone marble floors. We urged the skies to close, but we were all together and drinking lots of red wine, so it didn't matter that the rain drops had turned to footballs across the merky mountain range. What personalities spilling around the rah-rah-room they'd allotted for us (no doubt desperately creating a thorough amount of separation from the poor guests who'd come for a tranquil getaway). And when the rejuvenated rays of sun once again returned, allowing the mesmerising views of the perfect bay to once again return we tramped our way somewhat woozily across the rocky paths (pictured) and set up camp somewhere discreet amongst a bunch of really tall trees in a really cool forest. Our forbidden rendez-vous in a beautiful place remained here throughout the night, with all the usual hippy shit taking us blissfully through to dawn. Happy Birthday guys X X
