Church walk, Band night out and Network Ramble

A very hectic weekend began bright and early on saturday morning. Me and and the rest of the Cairns crew packed up the car and headed down to church to collect Peter, Ian, Mike, Katheryn and Andy for an adventure in minature up Pen-y-gent. had a quick dance around the carpark with Kathryn with one shoe ... and donated the sat-nav to Peter and embarked on our jorney.

Arrived at 10.00am, had a quick brief of the plan and left Vicky and Kathryn to navigate for D of E practice. Mike and me found some interesting abuse of limestone and took a quick pic for Mr Clowes. Reached the sumit in good time and stopped for a quick break, after rescuing a group of old ladies stuck on the scramble bit near the top! Headed down to the pot hole where we had lunch and some interesting gymnastic moves from Andy... Stopped at cafe for a quick pint of tea and scones! before having a daisy collecting competition in the carpark.

Got home 5.00pm and did some revision, then went out to pizza hut with 'the band'. Had a bit of fun parking Mike and Andy's cars at the front, then ordered far too much food causing me to throw my fone repeatedly across the room! (the second time was to demonstrait the first ...) Discussed T'shirts for the band and how to go about ice cream factories! All in all a good day enjoyed by all .. must do it again soon.

5.30am sunday morning! waaay too early. Yet again me and dad packed up the car and started out for Capel Curig in wales. attempted to revise chemistry on the way, but fell asleep at about St,Asph (spelling?) Met Matt, Smiler and Lucy and the others at the campsite and managed to eat something. conditions were quite good to start with, and we all enjoyed the scramble to the top of Tryfan including one v.diff! Also found a stray boot on the hill ... can't imagen how someone would loose such a thing! A quick snack at the summit before making a quick escape attempt as the weather deterioated into mist, rain and awfull visability. decided to skip Bristly Ridge and headed down to the road.

A while later once everyone had dryed off, we headed for the Bryn Tyrch pub for a quick drink and a discussion with Ash about my ice climbing in the Cairngorms on snow and ice!

Weather took a turn for the worst on the homeward jorney which made it hard for dad to teach me how to 'read corners'. found out the sat-nav lies and adds on time no matter how fast you drive! Got home a good few hours later and had a gear sort out in the celler before eating alot and going to bed!

Conclusion ... a very good weekend, felt like i achieved something ... an excellent de-stress from exams =] xXx
