I also got stuck up on the summit after getting soaked through & visability down to 10 foot lol a track I followed to get off the summit was in fact a sheep path & ended abruptly at a cliff lol :| Ended up pitching up in dusk & spending the night in a knackered tent & wet sleeping bag pitched on a 1:4 slope lol

The NORTH...well the Great Border City to be exact
lol! funny pics!! its strange how all the guide book pictures are always in perfect weather conditions, but its always the same Shooms, i must have been up helvellyn about 10 times, and sunday was the first time i could see anything! altho its interesting!! doing striding edge in a complete white-out!

only been walking in Wales once, it was the day that the grand national was ran then abandoned (just wiki'ed it 1993!) done the snowdon ridge, Gallt Y Wenallt, Y Lliwedd, Snowdon, Garnedd Ugain, Crib Y Ddysgi, Crib Goch
the weather was terrible and a few of us aborted on Crib Y Ddysgi and bailed off down a grassy slope, which i slipped on, and was sent hurterling down the mountain on my back, hit a big rock and was knocked out for a couple of seconds, i dont know how far i slipped, probally only about 15ft, but it felt like 150ft!!! 1500ft!!!! :fekked: , had a big old cut on me head, mild concussion, a bruise from my ankle all the way to my shoulder, and half of the snowdonia national park underneath my fingernails!!!!
i never went up another mountain for 15year! honestly!!

hence the fact, do i not like Wales!

check out my Flickr account for more pics, ive reached me upload limit for this month, but i keep adding when i can!
