Surely going to be beer and BBQ for wigwam people

Maybe a curry if I pull my finger out!

Caseh · 7 Mar 2013 at 22:42

I didn't see inside the wigwams - Should I bring a sleeping bag or something? Or is all that sorted? Other than that, I seem to remember they had a frying pan and stuff didn't they? Other than that I'll just bring myself little bits like last time, with maybe a bottle of milk and some cornflakes/weetabix.

And obviously I need to bring me some beer again. ^^

You'll need a sleeping bag and pillow, in the wigwams there's only a fridge and kettle. The kitchen is usually well stocked with pans, plates and utensils but it's a good idea to bring your own.

Caseh · 7 Mar 2013 at 23:57

All right, cheers. I'll sort those out then on my next days off.. I've only got 3 days off work now until we go!

Is any one else camping or is it just me? Looking forward to this, just hope i don't break something on Snowdon.

I'd hope you do 'brake' at some point coming down Snowdon!

I really want to do Snowdon, but its finding the time. :/

robj20 · 8 Mar 2013 at 14:35

I'm going on the 23rd if your interested.

R0B75 · 8 Mar 2013 at 14:38

I'm interested alright, but its finding the time. Need new brake pads too, mine god mullered in the Peak District a month ago.

You won't want to be riding behind me after a curry!!!

robj20 · 11 Mar 2013 at 14:16

Not sure what I'm bringing food wise, might do a curry or chilli myself.

On of my pals has had to pull out of this. He is all paid up too. So that's 2 wigwam spaces available now.

I can also give a lift to 1 person. Coming from Aberdeenshire.

ichabod crane · 12 Mar 2013 at 17:54

As above we have two wigwam spaces remaining.

Caseh · 12 Mar 2013 at 21:00

My brother can't make it now, otherwise he would have taken one of the spaces.

Hope the snow melts before soon. 1ft of snow most of the way up and going beyond the buzzards carpark is a non starter at the moment!

robj20 · 20 Mar 2013 at 18:40

The snow is so annoying, stopped my snowdon plans, hope it clears by April.

Caseh · 20 Mar 2013 at 22:54

I've been making some flapjack today, and I'll be making a load to bring to glentress. Just need to find some really big tubs to carry it all in.

Andelusion · 21 Mar 2013 at 14:36

Ummm yummy Cas's mystery flapjack

Can you guess what the secret ingredient is?

Not much better today, I recon we could have made it to the top of the red route but my friend wasn't keen on having a go. Lower down has a thin layer of snow from the Buzzards carpark up it is pretty deep we managed to cycle up to the berm baby berm OK but it was hard going.

Leaving the top car park

There isn't much chance that's going to clear in three weeks is there. Need some heavy rain.
