Adamanda's Absent Friends 2001

This was our first trip to Ixion's Absent Friends weekend, at the Green Dragon in Hardraw. We had a couple of good evenings at the pub, and during the day wandered around the scenery. Lots of the scenery was cordoned off for foot & mouth, but the Wensleydale Creamery tour was very good.

On the weekend of 22nd/23rd September, it immediately preceded Ixion@Cadwell Y2K1.
