If GRJ was using dude in a Welsh context he would be refering to a learner of someone unaware of the ramifications of what he had entered into.
In the US, I understand, you can have "Dude Ranches" where people learn to ride and try to control cattle on horseback. Perhaps someone in the US could confirm this please.
