As there are a few on this trip and details keep getting hidden in 33 pages of Jay's paper cuts and Adam's slippers here are all the need to know details and links for those who want them. We are meeting on Saturday, Penmachno car park at 9:30Penmachno = linkAfter that we are heading back to the campsite for lunch so bring your own food and drink B&B = linkIn the afternoon, those that are man enough are heading over to Coedy Brenin to do a loop of some sort, those that aren't can make all our beds, wash our kit, whatever women do? And head into the local town (15 min ish) to pick up take away menu's CyB = linkIn the evening we will be sorting out a take away and I will be having some beer, hopefully some others have a drink with me! Then nice and early we pack our shit up and head to snowdon and meet those others that are just coming for that, meeting near the railway at the bottom at 8:00Snowdon details = linkAfter snowdon, a big pub lunch is in order before we have a group hug, say our good byes, and head off to different corners of the country Big thanks to Jay for sorting everything out, lets have a banging weekend! Those that are coming for the full weekend or just the Sunday, make sure you have the mobile number of someone else that is going so that you can ring if your going to be late somewhere or whatever |

shall we have a final show of hands so we know who's coming and who isn't?
ME! but just for snowdon
also for anyone who hasnt been up a mountain before, just to repeat whats already been said.
take proper winter layers, that you can take off or put on when needed. A beanie or head buff for if we have to stand about for any length of time, a spare pair of gloves is also wise, in case your first pair get wet

Good news (in my opinion) Weather has changed again, when we are at the top there is nearly no chance of snow/rain, the visibility has gone from very poor to very good, but it is gonna be very very cold  |

According to the bbc weatherit doesn't start raining till 1 at penmachno, we will be done and checking into the barn by then
Then 4-7 it's gonna start easing off while we're riding the black bull at coedy
Even if it rains, no biggie

I'm liable to melt in rainwater. It's happened before! That wind on Snowdon is also slightly concerning. I'll have to hold on to somebody going up otherwise the wind will ensure I make record time back to the bottom  I've not heard of the Black Bull..?? |

Black bull is Tarw Du in English, was originally called red bull as they paid for it to be set up, they changed the name when red bull pulled the money out I think, it's the first purpose built mtb trail in the UK so we will be riding a bit of history lol |

I'll bring my camera to capture my fails I'm wearing full face and goggles on snowdon, it's rock top to bottom, well feel like -10 with decent wind, it will keep me warm and cosy |
