Afternoon all
Had brief but busy 24hrs with zedward, after si forks kindly delivered him to droitwich for pick up Friday.
We set off for snowdon Friday afternoon but had to admit that here were a few logistical issues. He really is a big fella!
Eventually we had everything packed, and set off, arriving just outside capel curig for 9pm. We had an early start, so got our heads down in the bunk room, but for some reason Zedward awoke all alone
Turns out everyone switched rooms in the night as he really does snore like the proverbial!
A quick spot of every bears favourite breakfast, then off in the z again
As it was his first night time ascent, he got a full harness for safety
A short way up the pyg track we stopped for a breather and I did some gurning
Knowing that sunrise was approaching we pushed on, stopping occasionally to take in our progress
Although not quite at the summit, we did catch the sunrise appearing behind neighbouring crib goch
A final little push and we reached the peak at 5:30am. Not bad for his first run!
And a nice cup of tea to celebrate. Big thanks to my mate Ann for getting involved last minute and making his trip possible.
Although deceptively heavy (after the first few hours) it was a joy to take him on the adventure. Many people came to chat about his travels and find out more about the cause and take details of the just giving.
If you were on the fence about getting involved, give it a go, people love him and more importantly want to know about his cause
By the seaside...
