 Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who rolled up - it's a shame it went the way it did, but that's mountain weather for you. Well done to everyone and big apologies to Simon for not hanging around on top of Y Garn - quite nasty it was up there.
Oh, and Adam, thanks for the pints, the expenses claim will be with your shortly :-)

 No apology necessary - it was great to have a support team driving us round, providing energy bars, and lending dry kit, although I did seem to end up looking like I was off to do the shopping rather than the Welsh 3000s...

 Thanks to Adam for the Pint(s) and a big congrats to everyone who braved the foul weather on friday/sat morning.
Plus a big TY to Jon n Alex for allowing me to hitch a lift in their motors!
Role on next year

 Well done all of you...shame I was otherwise engaged...I would have enjoyed the beer at the end - not sure about the rest by the sound of it!
Have you all dried out yet?
|
|
my waterproof trousers were still wet last night!
The maps kinda dried out thought its still a wee bit mushed
On relflection the £17 could have been saved by accepting help from two very cute young girlys in the astra (F reg) If your out there, thanks for stopping BTW!
That it really until the alps now in outdoors weekends :0(

 I think the whole west coast was filthy on Saturday, the only consolation for me being that I had Carn Mor Dearg Arete to myself (and no midges!). Had to seriously consider making the first surfing descent though.
|
|
 Yep, thanks to all for the support team.
Great food & beer in the pub, and above all super company, had a great time despite not knocking them all off.
The mountains, they'll still be there next time, another go next year anyone!
Had a good day yesterday after hiring a mtn bike in Betws and trying out the new singletrack in the forest. About 2.5-3hrs & well worth it despite a puncture.
Even managed to visit Betws without making any gear purchases, most unusual!

 I'd like to thank Jon for the opportunity to have a go at the whole thing. Adam for the beer, and ALL for the company!
Lots of serious lesson there mind you. The event isn't a walk in the park and it certainly made me realise that sometime, you have to say what you feel about certain circumstances. For instance as soon as "going off the mountain" was mentioned on Friday night, all agreed. I think that if we'd have looked at the conditions at P-Y-P and said bugger this, lets go tomorrow, then the others would have gone along with it.
If we had saved both ourselves and our gear for the morning by changing the plan, I think more of us would have got further round...
Still, I think we made the right descision once at the Summit of Snowdon.
And as people have said, there's always next year. Now does anyone have £230 spare for a new ME Lhotse jacket...?
|
|
Yes, I had a great time once I stopped trying to keep up with Lloyd.
And that redhead can't half shift those pints of Flowers...
|
|
Yes, they certainly got from the bar to the table very quickly...
|
|
that weekend didnt half shift my bank balance...in the wrong direction.......
|
|
hmmmmmm good food and beer in the pub though!
|
|
2 true....thought with that alcohol i was hoping to sleep better`
|
|
Did I dream this, or was there a reference on Saturday night to the drinking game played in Dad's Army, when Captain Mainwaring gets drunk?
Something along the lines of: "Here's to the health of someone or other ...."?
|
|
erm.................not that i can remember, but i can never remeber anything
|
|
nah...I must have been at the bar...
|
|
 So Alex I think that as you tried so valliantly I will post the cheque on to you... forgot to do it last week very busy oops will do it tomorrow!
|
|
So, are we going it give it another bash sometime, prob next year now as summers over.
tho a winter version could improve he epic value
|
|
I am deffo going to have a proper go at it again. In fact may have a go at it BEFORE next year...
|
|
I hope summer's far from over Ben.
Yep, ditto definitely be giving it a proper go again.
Could also be tempted for THIS year too. I go try and get away most w\ends anyway, though with hol plans 27th July to 11th Aug (mtn biking in Alps) and Kona 100 (July 7th) and Summer Polaris (July 20/21st) agreeing dates would be likely to prove difficult.
Damn, looks like I've listed my diary & told people off about that on the Meets forum.
Forgot to mention dentist's on ..
