Hi all

My name is Simon and I am 35 years old living in the Wirral. New to this forum!
I have been walking/scrambling a bit in 2007, mainly in Snowdonia as it is only under 2 hours away. Hardly done any walking last year as I've been busy setting up my own shop, plus in Nov'08 I've ruptured my achilles tendon. It has been 4 months since the operation and would love to go walking scrambling again up snowdon, sometime in April/May.

Welcome to the forum kEySTONe.

Keep your eyes open on the meet up board, you'll find plenty of opportunities to get out into the Snowdonian mountains with forumites. I for one get up that way almost every week. Look forward to meeting up with you.

Hi Keystone,

There are regular trips to Snowdonia with various members of the forum.  Some are planned for a while but some mid week meet ups have only a day of two notice.  Always good to meet up with new walkers.  I am only a couple of hours away too so will see you soon hopefully.

If you arrange a walk then just post in the meet up section and see if people are free.  Midweek better for me due to shifts and family commitments.

Welcome to the forum btw,

Graham

I work shifts so my days off change weekly. Currently I'm at work typing this, not good on a Sunday morning especially after losing an hour last night! :buck2: I'll look later to see when my next free Monday is and we'll see if we can arrange something. O0

Edit: I'm free Monday 6th April.

Monday 6th April is too soon for me as I'm still on physio, that will be my 6th session with physio and hopefully the last. I was thinking April 20th, 27th etc. Then hopefully I could get some great hill walking started :), in snowdonia.
Hopefully we can arrange something.

Simon

I can do neither of those, my next Monday off would be 4th May.

Done! Is there anywhere in particular you'd like to go? It'll be worth starting a new thread in Meet Ups nearer the time in case there's anyone else that would like to come along.

Sure, lets put it in the meet up section nearer the time!

I've not done:-

Cadir Idris
Moel Siabod
Pen yr ole wen & rest of the Carneddau range.

I've never had a clear day on:-

Crib Goch - Snowdon
Tryfan - Glyders - Y Garn

but would be happy to do those again.

From your list:

Cadair Idris - Done but it was cloudy and would like to go back on a clear day
Moel Siabod - Not done
Pen yr Ole Wen & Carneddau - Doing on Thursday
Crib Goch - Not done and one of this years must do's
Tryfan, Glyders, Y Garn - Done Tryfan but, again, it was cloudy. Not done Glyders or Y Garn and, again, one of this years must do's

If the conditions on the day are good my vote would have to go to Crib Goch as I've been itching to do this for a while now. ;)

Because you told me you haven't done the Crib, everything else can wait O0

This is a must do, for rock aficionados! I hope we get a window of good weather. I am no where as fit as couple of years ago so you'll have to forgive me for plodding along though. ;D

Crib Goch it is then! I'm a plodder myself so no worries there. O0
