After leaving Raven, Lewis had a good view over South Wales from Twmbarlwm but hasn't decided where to go next!

An unusual and nice Travel bug this one. A fast move from boot camp to somewhere very nice. Sure it will not be long before Lewis is off again.

I don't think this one will castle with the king again after a long stint in boot camp. We took pity and released him. A nice warm up and then onto another cache very soon...

During our last game, Lewis insisted on trying to castle with his king. He knows quite well he's not a rook, so we are sending him to boot camp to give him time to think about his proper station in life.
