Title: Out in the wilds thread
Post by: GROWLER on June 05, 2013, 07:28:35 AM
Decided I'm going to go up me 'BIG 'Ill' this weekend, and found this rather awesome 360 degree view from the top whilst obtaining details of a route I've not tackled before.
PDG imo and gives a clue as to why I like being out in the wilds so much  cloud9:  rather than mooching around in some impersonal grubby city.  sick2:

When you first click on the link, you can see the fearsome Crib Goch ridge walk facing you.
Even this grizzly owld creature won't do that,  noooo:  well not until I can find someone who knows its perils and can guide me across it. angel1

Tar lah.

You Mr Steve, will be most welcome to accompany me if you so wish. :thumbsup:

Another first I discovered on there, if you click on 'back to the walk' you'll find a 3 minute Yuseless Tube vid of 'virtual flying' up and down the entire route. eeek:
Not so sure the gradients are as gentle as they appear on the 4 mile trek vid.,, but gives a good idea what to expect I suppose.
Was most most impressed. :thumbsup:

The Pyg Track that I usually use, is shown quite clearly on the beginning of the photo, traversing its way under Crib Goch, and snaking its way to the top ridge.
The last bit through the zig zag is an absolute killer of a hike when you're already goosed. surrender:

Yea. News article.
I'm always reading about mountain rescues stories and associated stuff.
Keeps you alert to the dangers, 'cus especially in this weather, everywhere just looks like a great big dopey fluffy pussy cat, all warm, cosy, inviting harmless and friendly.

Came across a knob walking up a fairly tricky scrambly bit of Snowdon  a couple of years ago ....just wearing trainers ffs! Shocked:

Another one walking up 'me 'ill in friggin' flip flops!!! eeek: eeek:
