[brotherhuw]

That is not what I had planned...

[Richard G]

Noooo..... whyyy?

[Matt]

It was snowing last year at the start on the top road.

Nowt new

Snow? What I'd give for snow It's 33C and 90% humidity here (Taiwan), you only have to raise an eyebrow to drown in sweat

I don't remember that!

[RIP]

Oh. Sigh. That'll be the sandals, suncream, and corner-knotted hankie back in the cupboard then.

This'll be me instead I reckon:

[Artie Fufkin]

You might get a bit of a sweat on under that, Reg!

[RIP]

Yeah good point . Actually I've only just spotted the wellies. I'm presuming they're SPD ones. If not I'll have to switch to flat pedals. TBH I'm thinking of doing that anyway.

BTW I think you're a fully paid-up LHC member Artie? Looks like Chew's kindly knocked up a "wimps [that'll be me then] alternative route". I'd have a bit of a job with the 4500 metres business at my advanced age, so would indeed prefer summat a little more, er, leisurely. Curiously the word "pub" featured quite heavily in the alternative. Not sure about the "beach bivi" though with a westerly wind - might end up doing a giant sand-dune impression by the morning. Anyroad, should be a laff whatever.

"Reg"

PS> Great monicker by the way . "Do me a favor. Just kick my ass, okay? Kick this ass for a man, that's all. Kick my ass. Enjoy. Come on. I'm not asking, I'm telling with this. Kick my ass."

[Richard G]

Ugh... I'm going to start looking for B&Bs.

[brotherhuw]

Thinking about packing my winter kit now...

[Taylor]

Back from doing the school run in snow, just south of Bristol.

[Richard G]

I'm wondering if I can make it to Trawsfynydd without sleep... if I can, I can get my super powers and I'll be fine for the rest of the ride.

[Bearbonesnorm]

It's lovely here, sun's out and the sky is blue

Something we don't know about?

[Richard G]

Nuclear power. Providing super powers for average humans since the 50s.

[Ian]

Don't worry, the Norgies are now saying it's going to warm up a bit and be wall to wall rain. It'll be fine*


* definitions of "fine" may vary

[Fat tyre kicker]

The forecast was pants for last weekend in that area, the wife and I
Ended up sunburnt after two nights wild camping near Nant y moch,
It was bloody cold in the 'wee' hours mind...best weather we've had
There for a while

[benp1]

Ignore the weather forecast

Was in Brecon last weekend for a wedding. Forecast said rain, was bright and sunny both days!

It snowed in London yesterday

[Pirahna]

Sadly I'll be camping with a group of friends in Suffolk this weekend. I will be taking my electric hook up, fan heater and kettle. Sis in law brings a toaster and fridge.

Is that today?

[Bearbonesnorm]

We have had a little snow today but it largely goes as soon as it stops snowing. I can see that both Plynlimon and the Arans are white on top, so if your route takes you above 500m, you still might see a bit unless things change.
