That is not what I had planned...

Noooo..... whyyy?

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!

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

This'll be me instead I reckon:

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

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."

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

Thinking about packing my winter kit now...

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

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.

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

Something we don't know about?

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

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

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

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

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?

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.
