Can I point out to everyone signing up to this that you ACTUALLY HAVE TO WALK UP A MOUNTAIN IN ONE DAY AND NOT DIE

that bad. Carrying the crosses will be hard work though, unless we get them taken up on the train.

We'll be going up the difficult side. In our pants. Barefoot.

I'm not sure of my outfit yet. Will you be coming as Xena?

and a fuck-off big cross

This sounds so fucking wrong and stupid that I'm almost duty-bound to chase you all up there.
I need infromations though. How far walking is involved, what sort of terrain, is it going to rain and is there a pub at the top?

I'm not sure of the exact distance, however anyone with a reasonable amount of fitness should be able to make it within a few hours. You can also take the train (or the easy path) back down which makes life a lot easier, should you be a bit knackered after the summit. There is a fair amount of scree scrambling involved towards the top, but on the whole it is just good, leg pumping steep hill stuff.
Yes, it will almost certainly rain.
No pub, however being b3tans, I am sure we will manage to sniff one out at the bottom :)
I should add though, that this is not a simple ramble; it's not that hard, but don't underestimate it.

is sampled from a population of people NOT DRAGGING A BIG FUCKING CROSS UP WITH THEM.

To paraphrase the girl from The Exorcist, "We're going to die up there."

The first one looks a better option though.
The second one has a "NO MUSIC POLICY"; silly cunts.

Oh, and I can definitely come. If someone could direct me which the nearest train station is, or fancies picking me up in their car from somewhere (I live in Birmingham but could get to most places which have a train station. Especially mid-wales)

Have fun, you utter, utter, mentalists.

Unfortunately, it's only for a local narrow gauge railway, which doesn't have any connections with the proper railway system in any of the towns it goes through.
So I think this is going to require cars. And if necessary people giving other people lifts (i.e. me). I'll look for the closest town with a station later this afternoon, in case it ends up with some car people having to run people from the station.

If anyone lives between Portsmouth and Snowdon, let me know. I could pick people up on the way.
( , Wed 3 Jan 2007, 17:42, Reply)

And I could get to one of the services to be picked up. If that's not possible I can get somewhere else easier for you.
Well, it does look like I'm certainly coming then. Wow. Never done Snowdon before.
