a proper xmas bivy anyone?

[Mike]

Right its a long shot ( and yes im not married and no kids ) im planning to ride snowdon on xmas eve bivy on the summit ( or camp weather dependant ) then ride down in the morning back home intime for dinner!!
Anyone fancy it if ur at a loose end?

[Bearbonesnorm]

Oooh slightly tempted ... let me have a think.

Oddly I'm not married and don't have kids either

No probs Stu, my second option if the weather is bad is Cadair as the shelter on top makes for a dryer/warmer night!

[Stevemorg]

I've just been given a pass! I'm at the in-laws in Beaumaris for Christmas - as long as I'm not back too late on Christmas Day it could be a goer! Cadair is probably a bit to far south for me to make it but don't work around me

[Bearbonesnorm]

What are your timings Mike? Up the Llanberis in the dark and down the Rangers in the morning?

I may have just had a slightly one sided conversation that went something like - just go, stop being soft and just go :?

[voodoo_simon]

That sounds a great way to celebrate Christmas day.

I'll raise a toast to you guys when I'm having a beer an xmas eve in front of the fire place :D

Quite jealous - its my birthday xmas eve would have been a brilliant way to spend it, think my brood would miss me (or my cooking at least!)

[Zoglug]

Whilst I'd never get away with doing this Xmas, I have been contemplating seeing if I can get away with something like this on nye! Think the missus is hankering to go out so I'll be lookig after the little un! Pretty jealous!

Stu.. i come off nights on the morning then planning to leave bromsgrove around tenish. will take me two n half hrs to get there. I was planning parking in Rhyd duu behind the pub ride down to rangers climb up n over into llanberis maybe av some grub in Pete's then climb up tourist path then yes back down rangers in morning to car. Let me know what you think. Anyones welcome to join in

[Stevemorg]

I'm a doubtful - the Mrs is OK with it but it seems a bit unfair on the kids. I'll make sure I take all my o/n kit with me and see how it goes

[Mike]

no probs SM just let me know closer to the time then :)
