Memories Of The Arched Window By Rennie

A Memory of Crickhowell.

Now this takes me way back to my cycling days, myself and two friends who were Tony Robinson (Rusty) and Roy Peachey (Ladder) spent one night at Crickhowell Youth Hostel. It was 8th April 1971 to be exact, we were on a week long trip around Wales and the Midlands. My greatest memory of Crickhowell Youth Hostel is, along with my partner in crime (Rusty), accidentally breaking one of the panes of glass in the arch window at the front of the house in the roof. We were trying to open it as we could see Ladder walking down the High Street, our plan was to attract his attention somehow but the window was jammed, I can still hear that pane of glass bending as we ran off nervously - fantastic memories.
