Yeah, supposedly that's today.

...and a couple of times over 500m for me.

Okayyyyyy!!!! WTF!

Lots of Snow on Cadair last weekend

winter quilt and trekker tent it is them

In the up side, there shouldn't be any midges about...

More from Nant Yr Arian (yes, I know it's south of the route)...

Uhm, unless things become tropical in the next 24 hours, you might expect white stuff down to 300m, especially anywhere facing west.

The view from 'The Towers' 2 minutes ago looking east



Luckily, the forecast for the weekend is looking fairly good - not warm but not too miserable. Another stroke of good fortune was the decision to head towards the coast ... you just have to get there, it's like the promised land

didn't you move the wrt from the end of may to the beginning as the weather is usually better

That was the cunning plan.

Probably not going to help anyone that started off going anti-clockwise though.

I've just swapped sleeping bags for my winter one!

Let's hope after last years wet WRT and this weekends forecast, that in 2017 it will go back to the late May Bank Holiday

I don't have a winter one. :(

I don't have a summer one either... but yeah, definitely not a winter one.

Ditto.

Well I say swapped - considered packing would be more accurate

Who knows ... feel like I'm jinxed either way.

Anyway, shame you can't make it John ... we've got some Cambium saddles to give away thanks to Shona and Rich

I know the forecast is wet, but it's also looking warm now. Reckon most of that snow will have gone by Sunday morning - but we'll see...

Just arrived in Staylittle... is quite nice. Can I start early? :p

Can I start early?

No but feel free to ride to the start.

I think I shall stay in my warm B&B for now.

I chatted to Jase on the phone earlier .... I have a feeling we will be Late

I went for a pootle round Swinley earlier. It flipped between hot and cold, with various intervals of sun, rain, sleet and hail.

Might be more interesting in Wales, I quite like the idea of riding around in snow!

Checks weather, HOW WET?? quick blast to decathlon for lads extra water clothing (+ neoprene socks. ) Unpacks tarp, packs trek tent :)

See ya tomorrow peeps

Really hope you didn't get any of my BB STRAVA times!!

Ugh, Sunday just keeps getting wetter on the weather forecast!

After a damper than expected start the sun is now out so hopefully everyone will be dry by the time they reach the seaside (or wherever it is they've decided to go)
