If anyone is out there then here's some food for the forum

Made another trip up to the summit of Carnedd Llewellyn (3425ft) yesterday. The weather was perfect for the ascent which was bone dry despite the recent storms. I went up from the Eigiau car park for the first time as I usually ascend from Conwy/Drum. A shorter route up which the usual hike a bike section here and there. The views were top dollar from the summit too. On the way down I went totally off piste on the rigid mukluk which was great fun. I stopped of by the small lake just under the summit of CL were the remnants of a crashed 1957 Canberra still lay. All in all another day doing some 'proper' mountain biking!!

Here's a few pics and a video if you can be arsed:

As I was filming there's a fair bit of faffing involved, didn't think you'd appreciate me donning the make up every two minutes
