The Hiking Thread

samedi 12 février 2022

OK it's not a sport but it's physical and it's probably better here than in GCC. Maybe it'll die but maybe it'll be a place to share adventures, advice and experiences.

I was out in Snowdonia last week for an overnight impromptu backpack with an old work pal, we 'climbed' the Devil's Kitchen and camped overnight in the col between Y Garn and Glyder Fawr. As you know there was a bit of a storm last weekend so instead of staying on the mountain we decided to descend because by the afternoon winds were 70mph sustained gusting to 100mph and we didn't fancy an accident, the gutless ponces we are.

Pen yr Ole Wen and the Carneddau


Glyder Fach


I'm going out on a limb here to at least prove I was there :rolleyes:


"Camp One" (of 1)


And just when you think that you've seen it all, just when you think "oh well let's get off the mountain in case we die" we pass this guy on the way up. I'm not kidding, the wind was proper strong! He said to us "I want to feel distressed".......:confused:



I'm planning another trip to introduce one of my daughters to the wilderness in a longer term plan to thru-hike the walkers Haute Route Chamonix-Zermatt with her later this year fingers crossed (120 miles).
