It was initially used as part of SAS and Pathfinder selection but now they run lighter events as a taster for it. I know a lad who went for Pathfinder selection and basically this broke him. Doing it in Feb he got hypothermia the mad cunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 19808 Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 Did Tryfan today. A great walk with a grade 1 scramble in. Really bloody warm too which took me a bit by surprise. Just had a pizza and.a coupe of beers and ready for bed 😜 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 21061 Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 Think Pen y Fan may be a bit underwhelming after Tryfan on a nice day (not to decry the former, more to praise the latter) . I climbed it on the day peg boy Will married Cath, cheers for the bank holiday mate. Think I did Bristly ridge as well and got the Jimmy legs. Always wanted to do more scrambling but had a habit of turning to jelly. Striding Edge probably my limit now. Anyway, enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But was still enjoyable. Albeit windy as fuck today did make it hard work. Really enjoyed Wales. Some really friendly people and great walking despite the weather. Yesterday we went to Llandudno as the weather was shit. Went there as a bairn but can't remember it. But some really beautiful architecture there. Like most seaside resorts I suppose. Shame that large parts of it now are just left. Today after the walk feeling buzzing came back to the digs. Dropped the stuff off and went into the village for a beer and a chill. Walked in the pub family of 6 or so all sat in Leeds utd tops. Turned around and walked straight back out 😂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 34725 Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 Just on my way back from Sorrento. A timely reminder of how much I love Italy and the bizarre near omnipresence of Tennent’s Super I had completely forgotten about the latter. I’ve googled it before and I’ve still never really found a proper explanation Anyway, ciao 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they consider it a health tonic. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never been but it looks amazing in photos etc, and hoping it will be less busy at this time. Might give the Tennents Supers a miss though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
