    Best way do it is to buy either the official book or a CD ROM it has all the questions which are in the test. The CD ROM also has the mock test, make sure you get the latest version as it’s been revised due to CDM regulation changes.
    You can view a film free on youtube which is part of the training.google cscs setting out.

    The most difficult bit is remembering the fire extinguisher types, and sign types etc.

    You could follow the above and use the tarmac road that leads to “ty mawr wybernant” a national trust property. Eventually you will pick up where loop 2 crosses the tarmac road, or carry on to a wide crossroad very close to the loop 1&2 split.
    Personally I would use they road option above and ride through the village.

    One thing I would add is some of the exhibitors I have seen in craft fairs look a bit grumpy, very few seem to say helo and start a conversation.
    I’m sure they loose a few sales !

    I have a small solar panel controller and leisure battery, hooked up to a 300w inverter it’s fine for lighting,dab radio etc. Ideal in the summer but I do sometimes struggle in the depths of winter due to lack of sunlight.
    I also have a 12v led floodlamp outside.
    When funds permit I will also add a small wind turbine but the most basic are about £400

    It’s all about respect, the voluntary ban is abused and a lot of riders choose to ignore it. I see a lot of mountain bikers come off the mountain within the voluntary ban window.

    When riding in others parts of the country I make sure my actions do not risk local riders loosing access etc.

    Visiting riders should do the same on Snowdon.

    Superb film, if you go off piste remember to get insurance with helicopter search and rescue cover, no idea what the cost of this would have been.

    Barmouth has a train station and you could ride up to the dolgellau via the mawddach trail and find a campsite. Not all that far from coed y brenin where there are family trails etc. Not ideal but from there you could go back to barmouth and work your way down the coast to harlech and to porthmadog. Catch a train at porthmadog back home or go to caernarfon via lon eifion.

    If you are going from the A5 side a tip is to head for the leat that feeds the lake as soon as you can. It saves a lot of pushing through boggy ground.

    CDM regulations when changed in 2015 places more obligations on contractors working for domestic clients. Regardless on the size of the job they will apply.
    Not sure if there have been any court cases yet tried on this,they normally go for breaches of work at height etc.

    A Hymer type setup would be less hassle and cheaper with insurance and you can legally drive it at 60MPH rather than 50mph for a van.

    Keep away from carbonated water and drinks as I have read that it can use up valuable calcium and slow the process. Eat clean and take moderate exercise to pump a bit more blood around.
