How to cure a hangover
This is how we cured our new years day hangovers.
3 Aircraft Ribs went out for a blast around Conwy, it was -3 degrees when we left and did'nt get above freezing all day  it was a great days ribbin and would beat many of our summer days out..... Hope the following photos are a taster for those of you are comming to our North West Ribsters cruise in June....
1. heavy frost on tubes of Marks rib
2. Lumpy seas at Puffin Island
3. Mark Aircraft taking off
4. Aircraft crash landing.

Conway Castle looks interesting.

Bridges at Conwy
For those really interested in the unique history the bridges by the castle are
Telford's Suspension Bridge which is 19th Century,completed in 1826 and Robert Stephenson's railway bridge was built in 1848 the enduring example of a box section bridge.

Back to Rib Photos over the Christmas and New Year
Here are some more pictures from our days out in North Wales, the weather was kind but very cold with stunning light and views.
See if you can guess the identity of our mystery ribster.

Oh I stand corrected, it's 19th Century. Still looks out of place however!
The Suspension bridge is much more in keeping with the Castle.
