You do realise how wrong that sounds Jim..... :hehe: Just googled it, Wow, impressive, was there snow at the top? Myself and TLG climbed Snowdon some years back, very enjoyable experience, although it was summer time, and man, was it busy!

I have just come back from 3 weeks up Scotland, did 5 munros , abandoned ship on one . Most amazing scary experience at times. You know its dangerous when you are the only people on the mountain and the snow is up to your knees and worse in places..
Snowdon is ok if you use the less popular routes , they are some interesting routes as well . Crib Coch is only for the brave . Did it in a storm 2 years ago . Wouldn't do it now . My brave levels are down to kinda stupid.
Well done both of you , its still a decent hike.

Anyway . he is at the wind up , bless him..

Abandoned Ship? How so Jim? The Munros are a group of mountains are they not? I went the tourist route up Snowdon, it was really busy. I've always fancied a bit of wild camping Jim, although i'm pretty certain that i'd get myself killed....

There are 280 munros in Scotland ,its a mountain over 3000 feet .Ben MacDui is the second highest mountain in the UK . Doing Munros is called bagging Munros , I have bagged a few but still got many to do .
Myself and my partner went up Ben Lawers a couple of weeks ago in the snow . We were about half way maybe 3/4 of the way up and she realised she had lost her spikes in the snow , carrying on in the snow and ice without spikes would have been really dangerous , foolhardy really . We found them on the way back following our footsteps . No one else was on the mountain which tells you it was interesting . The weather changes in a nano second , your footsteps disappear in minutes when the snow comes ... Your phone discharges at an alarming rate and that may be your only way back to find a route to safety .
If you have a spirit of adventure this is the place for you .
Its an incredible buzz because you are no longer in control .

Re: David James.

I like Butt, it's a shortened version of Buttie, which just can't come across as malevolent in any way, and that's the first thing i look for (because in paranoid) Fella is awful, usually used by people who are *****.

The control thing might be a problem for me, the rest i think i would enjoy. I love being outside, it's my therapy. I run 40 miles a week jut to feel the elements on my face and to get that Dopamine kick that lasts for hours. Sounds like you love what you do Jim, which is nice. I actually hate running, although it's so addictive, the buzz i mean... Keep going jim :thumbup:
