Hey Dave

So, end of May. Should be a little warmer than the beginning of October ride.

Oh ye of so much faith...

Last weekend of May is a bank holiday weekend, so likely to be heaving

with all sorts, making road access to Snowdonia slow and laborious and the ride down risky. I
propose the Friday before, 21 May, although this is sometime off yet. It will give all you folks
out there time to think about it, book time off, save yer pennies and get fit ;-) What say ye ?

Would love to, but have a weekend in Vienna a couple of weeks before and a long weekend in
Barcelona scheduled for the final weekend of May. Time and pennies are going to prevent me from
attending I'm afraid.

Alternately, do a late August run post 5:00pm 8-P

Hmm, it's a possibilility...

I've briefly considered doing a few days in Wales at some point (during the week to avoid the crowds
of the weekend), and hitting places like Afan Argoed, Betws-y-Coed, Snowdon, etc. with plenty of
pies and booze in the evenings. If anybody's interested...

Yo Bomba!!! shame about the end of May, but hey?? - Vienna and Barthelona. We are currently trying
to move to Cornwall, with an estimate of prolly May/June hopefully, so, to be honest, it's up in the
air for me too. Theo built himself a bike based on Specialised big hit DH frame, bomber triple
clamps and hydraulic discs, really looking forward to trying it out but couldn't resist fiddling
with it, so rear sus is currently away being repaired :-(.... Anyways, have fun and see you again
sometime, hopefully. Cheers, dave.

I could be talked into it, alternatively not done Hellvellyn for a few years since the
