xrh59.This is true it happend to me.
When i was 21(1979)I had a hang glider and used to go flying in the Breakon Beacons south wales.Gerry Breen the world champion hang glider and club owner sorted a discount for members at a local hotel called TY-Creso Hotel in Crickhowell(they have their own web site if you want to check it out)I stayed there several times and even had my honeymoon there.I came to know the owner to speek to and had a drink with him and my wife and sister.
One Sat Feb 1979 I set of at 6pm from Ashton. It started to snow very heavy and I spun my car round several times without any damage at all.I got to the Hotel at 10pm and had to leave my car at the bottom of the hotel drive as the snow was about 8-9inches deep.
There was no one staying at the hotel and the only person there was the owner.I had 2 large whiskys with him he showed me my room and said I might have to grill my own bacon in the morning as he was not sure he would be there.He showed me where the orange squash etc was.I paid him in cash and he said he would leave e receipt in the kitchen if he was not there in the morning.I got up at 10am had a drink of orange and left posting the keys through the letter box.There was no receipt in the kitchen but that did not bother me.It was impossible to get onto the mountains due to the snow so I set of home.The next day I got a letter from the hang Gliding club stating that they were having a collection for the Ty-Croeso Hotell owners wife as he had been found dead on the Tuesday before and the hotel was closed and his wife and daughter had gone to stay with relatives till after the funeral.I phoned Gerry Brean and told him that I had been at the hotel over night on Sat he said it was impossible as he was already dead and the roads into Crickhowell were closed that night because of the snow.What do you make of that?
