Deborah Puts Up Her Tent...

Deborah's Tent -
Borrowed on Thursday
Broken on Friday
Abandoned on Saturday

Austrian Redcurrant Torte by Johanna
Strawberry clafoutis by David W
and Special Cakes which were very nice but the name escapes me by David F

No that's what I call a proper tent

Serious pre-walk preparation

At the start of the (truncated) Long Walk - it was nice to have a lie-in however

Stand up straight and have your picture taken

Short Walk Start (by Martin S)

Starts off really easy...

"That!, No! Never!"
The walk was carefully planned to make sure this is the first clear view Jerry and Garry got of Cnicht - but they both pre-wimped and never got the chance to summit

What really? Up there? Are you sure?

Steeper and Steeper

When the going gets tough the tough look worried

Nearly there...

..and that one...

...and that one and that one and that one and that one... and that is Snowdon and that is Nantle Ridge and...

Well... it was a lovely view

We will catch you up....

About here as far as we can reconstruct from the description of their route "oh we are about an hour late - but we will catch you up"

I wonder where the Rover Boys are?

Much fitter than 1998

Mr Parkes

and Mr Cottom

Toward the Confluence (Moelwyn Mawr in the distance - with Rover Boys somewhere crossing the North Face)

Mr Cottom and Mr Parkes

53N 4W

23 Walkers and one canis lupus familiaris make it to 53N 4W
The full report is here

no GPS signal - perhaps we have gone the wrong way?

Yes - going up - but are they going up in the right direction?

What was it doing?

Halfway up Moelwyn Mawr - and it starts to rain

Pete is in the lead...

But are you sure we are going the right way?

A minor navigational hitch

"Stand here during half time of the cup final and watch the lake drain"

Shame all the signs were facing the wrong way

We can see the train, there is a station, can we find the path?

The boys say "Thank you very much for the beer, Mr Bill - most welcome"

A happy man indeed
