Title: WE ARE GOING TO SNOWDON OI OIII Post by: Horneris on February 14, 2011, 05:53:08 AM We are tilted from the Sundays and doing our absolute nuts in so have decided to go to Snowdon.
We don't really know anything about this, we just googled were to go in the UK and it came at the top so we are going there Reckon its like 3 hours away Gona do a 10 mile walk to climb up the mountain apparently then get totally wasted and baked when we reach the top. Reckon LeKnave will collapse. I hope it doesn't rain too bad Will post loads of pictures of us and our trip on this thread Off to the garage to get loads of red bulls, cigs and beers in a bit. Apparently it looks like this: (http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/5016/24935570571e3dce345fo.jpg) Title: Re: WE ARE GOING TO SNOWDON OI OIII Post by: ChipRich on February 14, 2011, 06:00:38 AM Well, i went here a lot here when younger but cant really remember it that much tbh.
I think....it was the 'Pyg Track' we always used to go up at Pen y pass - LL55 4NY. Not 100% but it looks like the right place, and looked at some pics, seems fine. Off to get ready for the trip, shud be fkin com and we have abs no idea why we're off but w/e. Here is our starting point, or what we hope is the starting point (http://www.grough.co.uk/lib/img/editorial/penypass.jpg) Anyone with any info, much appreciated. Cya soon! Title: Re: WE ARE GOING TO SNOWDON OI OIII Post by: Horneris on February 14, 2011, 06:49:56 AM Setting off now.
I should mention now, one of the main reasons we are going is that i have had the ashes of a good friend of ours who died recently. His name was Michael Parker, Mike for short. Snowdon was his favourite place in the whole world and it was his dying wish for us to sprinkle his ashes on the top of Snowdon. No need for any "sorry for your loss" posts, it was ages ago. I'll try and take a video of us scattering his ashes and saying goodbye to Mike properly.

Title: Re: WE ARE GOING TO SNOWDON OI OIII Post by: Dewi_cool on February 14, 2011, 12:18:41 PM Good luck with this, it snowed in the night so make sure you have all appropriate gear, it will be freezing up there. And it's approx 8 miles from the village to the top & back, much less if going from pen y pass. If your staying over let me know.(i''m 5 mins away)

Brings a tear to my eye. None of Mike's family going to share in the emotion of this ceremony?
Title: Re: WE ARE GOING TO SNOWDON OI OIII Post by: celtic on February 14, 2011, 01:21:20 PM Have seen a pic of Brent on fb. Don't worry about him. He has ate a Yorkie. He is going to be fine.
Hope the others have taken sensible precautions too.

Title: Re: WE ARE GOING TO SNOWDON OI OIII Post by: Horneris on February 14, 2011, 06:10:22 PM Just got to the car as its getting really dark and dangerous! We've been lost since 3.30. We were getting worried at half 4. We made it upto the top somehow in our trackie bottoms and astro turf trainers in the snow (all the other walkers we saw looked stunmed beyond belief) but got lost on a different route on the way back. So stupid when we've not been asleep since midday Sunday but had a really good day, mustve climbed up and down like 10 miles, poor Jones is out on his feet. Thought it would just be a laugh but some of the scenery was awesome, got some cracking pics to put on later. Rich fell over 9 times, Jones 3, me 0 :). Mikey got a superb send off!

Title: Re: WE ARE GOING TO SNOWDON OI OIII Post by: Horneris on February 15, 2011, 08:00:43 AM I think i'm in all of these pics but thats coz i couldn't be bothered to take any.
Tilted from the Sundays? I have an idea! (http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/954/vegotanidea.jpg) We've arrived at the car park after briefly being lost on the A5, which doesn't share many of the attributes of one of its brothers, the A1. At this point we are 50% why the fuck are we here, 50% excited about doing something outdoorsy for once (http://img805.imageshack.us/img805/163/arrivedandexcited.jpg) Preparations being made using my 95p souvenir cartoon map (http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/9806/mappingourroute.jpg) Ready to go and [ ] dressed for the occasion in our trackie bottoms and astro turf trainers (http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/3776/readytogoanddressedfort.jpg) A couple of hours into the trip we set the camera on a dodgy looking stone in the rain to take a pic, this could be the end for our Fujifilm friend (http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/9669/nearthestart.jpg) A few hours into it. Made quite a lot of progress now from the car park over the valleys and that track at the bottom (http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/5966/abouthalfway.jpg) (http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/1297/meandjonesupsnowdon.jpg) Good scenery and we can see the sun in the distance!!! (http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/191/wecanseethesuninthedist.jpg) Made it to the top! Might not be the exact top top but weather conditions make it impossible to climb any further with our hands. We crack open a beverage in recognition of our acheivement (http://img809.imageshack.us/img809/1720/abevvyatthetop.jpg)! Good day enjoyed it, shows there is more to life than poker.

Great thread guys :) Title: Re: WE ARE GOING TO SNOWDON OI OIII Post by: Horneris on February 15, 2011, 08:24:20 AM A couple of others. I think i was in "photos of you in Snowdon" rather than the actual album. I did wonder why i was in every pic!
Oh No! Doesn't look like a good sign!!! (http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/3632/ohnononothingoverwinter.jpg) Jones taking in the sun in his new sunglasses (http://img524.imageshack.us/img524/7764/18660317.jpg) What you have to climb up. Gets boring after like 3 miles of it!

After going the wrong way back then the long way back, the end goal of the car park is in distant sight (http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/6079/carparkinsight.jpg) Title: Re: WE ARE GOING TO SNOWDON OI OIII Post by: TheChipPrince on February 15, 2011, 09:53:25 AM Top stuff.

I'm serious. It's a fuckin mountain not a little slope, plus covered in snow and ice and you're wearing... astro turf trainers.
Having said that, well done for actually leaving your home/casino for a while to do something rewarding. (BTW best line - we've reached the top! Well, might not be the actual top...)

At least it didnt piss it down or snow all day, hailed for a little and a little rain, but other than that it was all fine.

Title: Re: WE ARE GOING TO SNOWDON OI OIII Post by: thetank on February 16, 2011, 12:24:45 AM Quick google search for Snowdon and death says the mountain only kills about 5 a year.
It's not as if they didn't have coats on, plus they're young and friffy and in a group so should survive if the shit did go down. Ratio of Risk of death against risk of having a good time not too indecent, I think the boys done ok.
