So despite the ridiculous blizzard-like conditions, crazy windchill factor (it was down to minus twenty degrees celsius or so or maybe even colder), waiting 20 mins for a street car that never arrived, and then walking past the Duke of Gloucester pub TWICE before realising where it was, I still ended up at the meetup for some crazy surfer bangers’N'mash action last night.

The turnout was impressive, and the food, beer and banter was much enjoyed.

It wasn’t all fun and games as the Ottawa trip committee also managed to pull together some form of a meeting and nut out some details for the forthcoming weekend. To clarify, a group of us Couch Surfers are heading to Ottawa this coming weekend to partake in Winterlude - the Ottawa Winter Festival and skate on “the world’s longest skating rink” - the Rideau Canal.

Great meeting some new surfers and always fun with the crazy crew (as I’ve come to know them as)!

As for the Bangers’N'Mash it was delish!
