Jingling Wall

Is Jinglng Wall on Clogwyn Cyrau the hardest HS in the land, or did we drift onto The Ramp? Any suggestions for a harder HS?

Has outdoor kit sold out to fashion

I have recently purchased a new waterproof jacket (an anorak). The search for something practical was horrendous. Everything has these 'waterproof' zips. Yeah like thats going to keep the rain out when you're in a 50mph wind. What is wrong with double storm flaps. It would seem that flaps dont look as good. They even put zipped pockets at an awkward angle for your hands to go into, just to look good. I was also with the Crock when he bought his new waterproof trousers. Same problem there; waterproof clothing just doesnt seem to be made for going out in the rain in anymore.

Ovine love

We spend a lot of time in Eryri and sometimes rain stops play.

However, it doesn't have to be like that. Fellas, ever considered ovine love as a means of saving a washed out weekend?

I know I have ;-)
