[Closed] So what's white in North Wales (and Lee Quarry?)

Well, Penmachno is meant to be 85% rideable now.

I'm told coedy is pretty well clear. Our Snowdon plans for next Sunday are ****ed.

You could all go for a walk instead. 🙂
S'not all about bikes you know. 😀

Coed y Brenin is completely clear (and packed because it is taking up the slack from the other centres as a result). Drove past Llandegla on the way, still pretty deep over there.

We have walking in Scotland thanks- and you're allowed to do it all over the place too 😉 But we have no coed y brenins.

I've put some good links on there. an if you're not on facebook, then join it and join those links. they'll tell you what you want to know. There is a facebook for Llandegla as well. Everyone disses FB but it can be a fabulous source of info, just like this place. Between all the fb mtb site daily updates, you can get a very good general view of how it's going with snowmageddon down here I reckon.

was walking up Drum today. some mtbers were coming up as we were going down to aber this afternoon (hello! if you're here). Fair do's, they looked serious. But it was going to be a bastard hard ride to be enjoyable. Just hike it! It is starting to thaw out a bit though (notalot) but then freezing overnight.

I would just like to **LIKE** what Rusty said. ahd a brilliant weekend sans bike.

Got back a couple of hours ago from snodonia.Did Tryfan north ridge.Down up over brisly ridge round and down devils kitchen.The best conditions iv,e EVER seen.Loads of snow and ice and beautiful weather.I,m still blown away by it...

spot on if you've got the skills and experience robhuges. That feeling is kicking in eh! Some poor dead ****er fell off cneifion arete at pretty much the same time I was using my crampons for the first time on an icy Foel Goch on Fri. Be safe people!

Hey Kev.It was just mind blowing conditions that really don't happen very often.The ice was just right.Loads of lads doing the water falls in devils..
Couple of crappy phone pics as i forgot my camera.
Snowdon in the back grown here northwind so i don't think you'll be riding that 😉

Yer totally agree there.Bikes go out the window when we've got these conditions.I love climbing in wales anyway but this is just the icing on the cake.Excuse the pun.... 😀

love that crystal castle pic, is that castell y gwynt? You sound more knowledgable and experienced on the Welsh mountains than me Rob, it'd be good to meet up with someone local sometime? I've done a bit now, but the guys I go with don't like ridges like Crib Goch, but I'll happily have ago. I'm looking for that extra push...

No i,ts a small patch of rock just before that.Quite close up so it does look a little bit like it.Took the pic as it was really strange as the ice covered it like toffee.I thought you had no knowledge... 😉
I,m not really local as i live on the Wirral but that's only down the road really.

Oh, I've got some local knowledge now. I know where you mean. I'm looking to go a bit more than the people I hang with. I love that when you spot something and just think it is so wonderful you HAVE to take a piccie!..
