Oh and of course its 2007 - doh to me! [date sorted Deceangi] Edited November 8, 2006 by Deceangi Quote Link to comment

+wizard1974uk Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 sounds interesting, would have to check the finances out nearer the time Quote Link to comment
+CrazyL200 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Shouldn't the title read 2007 Quote Link to comment
+PopUpPirate Posted November 7, 2006 Author Share Posted November 7, 2006 It should! MODS!!!!! Bah! Quote Link to comment
+tteggod trackers Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 maybe Dr Who can help us attend the 2006 event? One pitch for the tardis with electric hook up please! Quote Link to comment
+The Great Redmondo Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Either campsite, both look fine and in such a lovely area too. Most of June ‘07 looks good for us and you can count us in (except 15th – 17th). Half term in Somerset is 26th May – 3rd June, which makes the beginning of June ideal (or not depending on your point of view). Debs Quote Link to comment
+stora Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Love the area, I intent to attend Quote Link to comment
+LollyBob Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Pup and his flaming hills!!!! Depending on school holidays we will be there. There are only so many times you can bunk off school Quote Link to comment
+The_Westies Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 School hols are the same up in North Wales as well. We'd love to come but could only do so if it doesn't clash with Carry on Camping 8th - 10th June. We've also been bitten by the mossies at the Bedgellert campsite and the pub on-site at t'other one could be useful if the weather's typically Welsh. Quote Link to comment
+badger Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Ooooh, hills, caching, camping and now a mention of a pub... Count me in, I'm there already! Are we there yet? Quote Link to comment

+mollyjak Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Are there any B&Bs close to the area please? Quote Link to comment
+HazelS Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 There're loads in Llanberris, caernarfon and Beddgelert.... Dunno about DEAD nearby.... anyone else know? Quote Link to comment
+Bruin47 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I live on Anglesey so I'll pop down for a bit of Caching Quote Link to comment
+The Cache Hoppers Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Yes please Can we do a group climb up Snowdon too please, or train ride for those that would rather not! Quote Link to comment
+Brenin Tegeingl Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 I was thinking of repeating Snowdon Easy or Hard if there's enough interest I'll organise another one to coincide with the camping event Quote Link to comment
+PopUpPirate Posted November 10, 2006 Author Share Posted November 10, 2006 http://www.snowdonia-park.co.uk/ Fri 30th June Sat 1st July Sun 2nd July ie 2 nights Snowdon Easy or Hard sounds a GREAT idea! Snowdonia Camp Site Tent for 1 or 2 = £10 per night Tent 3+ = £16 per night Hook Up = £2 per night "Pitch allocation for 07 will be allocated in December but there should be no problem whatsoever, ring back in a couple of weeks and we'll get things moving. 20 tents approx is fine" Quote Link to comment

+HazelS Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I like train rides choo chooooooooooooo Me too Vanya... Particulary THAT ride... I did it for my 30th Birthday a few years ago - it was fab! Bagsy a seat next to Vanya on the train... let the more energetic types walk up! (Does anyone know if you can get the train up, and walk back down??? I seem to remember for some reason that they don't like you doing that?) Quote Link to comment

I seem to remember for some reason that they don't like you doing that?) I think you can do it that way (how can they stop you anyway?) but I don;t think you can walk up and get the train back - at least, you can't buy a ticket up there... its been a while though since i';ve been though! anyone for an ascent via the crib goch horseshoe?

+Simply Paul Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 I'm hoping to come along at the tail-end of Pyoung1s' 3-Peaks Adventure. With my St Kilda trip the weekend before, it's looking like a busy week for me I'm up in the Snowdon area at the end of February and have the maintenance support of a local caching team, so I might be putting a couple of caches out in locations I've already spotted then.
