  1. Guys

    If you were the team descending Snowdon yesterday via the Llanberis path on
    your Uni's let me know as I have the photos. We spoke near to the shelter on
    the summit ridge

  3. Hahaha, thats genius, yeah that was Me, Dave (Kington99), Alex Smout and
    Rupert Millard, with Phil Marshall and Leigh walking the same route we
    took. I'm SOOO achey today though, even 2 days later!

    I'm now of the opinion that my 26" LM makes the best muni experience,
    even if the weight of it strapped to my backpack meant my shoulders are
    still sore today. I've got some video, and there are pictures on
    Leigh's and Phil's cameras, and i'll get them asap and post them.

    An excellent trip, easily the best conditions I've ever seen on
    snowdon, and I'm planning on taking an experienced group of riders up
    the same route near easter, more details when I've located campsites
    and decided on a minimum skill/equipment level.

    Loose.

  4. Thanks Steve, I was one of the team, any photos would be greatly
    appreciated, probably best to send them to Loosemoose as he usually
    complies the media from a ride.

  5. I thought this might amuse someone LOOK WHAT I DID TO MY DAMN FOOT!
    Believe it or not this was the result of a planned stationary dismount
    on level ground near the summit. This photo is three days later, and
    yes of course i still rode the rest of the way down. Off to physio
    tomorrow, oh well...

  7. Guys

    You can find the photos at

    http://www.walkingoutdoors.co.uk/Steve/Snowdon2005/

    I didn't get the video as the camera was in photo mode and not video mode
    unfortunately of one of the team falling off and sliding on the ice

    It was great to see such an event on the hillside. Normally it's only
    mountains bikers and walkers on Snowdon.

    I bought a Uni in 2004 and mastered the art of falling off after about 12
    feet. Since then its been in the shed gathering dust. I promised myself I'd
    learn how to use it properly so there's another new years resolution broke

    All the best

  8. Cheers for those Steve, now I've seen the location of the photos I know
    who you are. I love the last photo of Rupert on the floor, it took a
    short while for me to figure out what was actually going on in that
    photo. I deffinitely suggest you dig that old uni out of your shed, you
    could join us on next winter's trip with some moderate practice, once
    you crack the basics it's really not all that hard.

  9. <enter random non-unicyclist> I've got a couple of snaps too - we were
    the walkers with the blue/yellow TeamNutter LandRover. I'll upload them
    to the web if you're interested (but I'm not on my PC at the moment)
