Snowdon Bivvy

[summittoppler]

If anyone is out there here's what I got up to in the week.
Had a cracker Thursday evening/Early Friday. I went up Snowdon after work Thrusday and bivvied at the summit. The going was tough on the way up as it was so hot. So clear at the top. the wind picked up to about 20mph but stayed warm. Up early to catch the sunrise. Then it was the 3500foot descent back to Llanberis and into work for 8am.

Right I've just got most of my gear for bikepacking, and joined a couple of forums that's you are in... we/ you should put a bike packing ride up and I'd come along and maybe some others.. done a sunrise on helvellyn the other Friday, wish I camped at the summit instead of hiking from 2am 😂.. great work as always

I did snowdon and helvellyn summits the last two weeks, the problem on here is is so awkward to post photos etc,
We live in Birmingham but ride most of wales and Lake District most weekends.. I host hope my alpine160 is up to the job of bikepacking etc, I'm taking it to alpkit to see what bags fit according to frame etc..
I'm up for a bikepacking session, just shout up
