OUTDOORSmagic Snowdonia Weekend A Hit

Site regulars will probably know about the planned OUTDOORSmagic Snowdonia meet-up, well, the good news is that it happened, we had probably the warmest weekend of the year so far and it was great.

Some nine OUTDOORSmagic-ers plus myself and Sal met up on a campsite near a pub, sorry, near Capel Curig, on Friday night after organising everything through the new meets section of the forum. Curiously the mad axed murderer some were expecting never turned up and equally oddly, Richard Gear, was forced to attend a family wedding, so couldn't make it.

So what was it like? In a word, brilliant, Saturday was bright and hot - maybe too hot - and we slithered over the classic North Ridge of Tryfan, Bristly Ridge, Glyders and down to Idwal circuit before collapsing in the pub.

Sunday was a gentler stroll up a warm but cloudy Moel Siabod. It was a top weekend in the hills and a great way of putting names to faces - thanks to everyone who came along. And if you missed it? Never mind, we're going to do it again soon, probably in the Lake District.

In the mean time, you can always use the Meets and Partners section of the forum to organise your own trip or look for climbing and walking partners. Just leave the axe behind eh?
