Dear Santa
On this eve of Christmas Eve I have some good boys and some bad boys to add to your Naughty or Nice list.
In the first instance we have 2 DNSs - Karl and Carl no excuses given but as no shows they are surely only deserved of lumps of coal and an old rotten onion.
We then have 3 DNFs , Scott  7 Swans are Swimming bailed after the coffee stop - bad form and maybe a 7 set chocolate selection box with just the Mars and Milkly Way remaining for him
Mark 9 Ladies Dancing put in the hard yards over Cefn Cribwr but obviously tried too hard into the wind so maybe a Raleigh Grifter for him when he really wants a Chopper.
Close but no bananas was Rich B, could he have gone those extra 2 hills we'll never know (although I suspect probably not) meaning that the 10 Lords are Leaping weren't leaping over the hedges of Treoes and Graig Penllyn. A space hopper with one handle shorter than the other for him.
And so to the 6 that stayed the course Tim, Chris, Paul, Nigel, Tony and myself, whilst deserving of Cabbage Patch Dolls, Rubik's cube and Transformers Toys we'll all just settle for a  Wiggle Voucher🧑‍🎄 . The sound of the 12 Drummers Drumming still echoing in our ears as we crested hill 12.
Great day out and being that it wasn't as far as Bethlehem maybe we'll try again next year and hopefully you'll have to stock up a second sleigh to reward ALL The Good Boys.

Excellent report but I think you hasve been a bit easy on Carl/Karl - they dont deserve any coal
