I somtimes feel my village (Gwaun Cae Gurwen) is just like Llanddewi Brefi. I enjoyed watching the dash. It was a scream, I recorded the whole thing on my pocket pc so I can watch it over and over. I am hoping to organise a dash in my Village. So get in touch.

It was a lot of fun, it was strange how freaky we all looked wearing the mask, but a laugh too!

Wish I'd gone now, looked fun! Well done to all those who took part and helped let the rest of the country know who we are! The BBC should come see us more, we all know we're the best of the welsh uni's!
