IRON HEART HIKE 2015

[Sugar Mountain]

Nice one KY. Maclehose has some seriously tough parts!

[ky]

it's awesome, nice and peaceful on a weekday to enjoy the hike and the view
my IH T-shirt is slightly wrecked now though, since i've been diligently washing it after every hike and wearing it again for the next one

iron hike 2015?
it has to be this!

@den1mhead:

thanks @den1mhead

who is game?

@trail and arrow , what a wicked idea to take the IRON HEART HIKE 2015 to Snowdonia and to tackle the Snowdon Horseshoe, which includes Crib Goch, see the video above !!!!!
The great thing is that the summit of Snowdon can also be reached via the Pyg Track and/or the Miners Track.
So we would have two different choices;

1. The hardy route which is, at all times, walking along ridge lines; The Snowdon Horseshoe

2. The less hardy route; Pyg Track/Miners Track accent & Miners Track/Pyg Track descent

We could all pile into the YHA hostels; Bryn Gwynant and Pen-y-Pass.

Who's up for it…...................????

what about doing it after fish'n'chips?

@trail and arrow sounds like a sweet plan. @Megatron1505 , there's a cafe atop Snowdon, which can be reached via a train, and they sell ale up there !!!

[Megatron1505]

Sounds like a plan 

Me and my Belgian man servant @Seul will meet you there

@Megatron1505 @trail and arrow , when is the Fish & Chip event?

If there was sufficient interest and taking the IH Hike 2015 to Snowdonia, and people wanted to do the hike back to back with the Fish & Chip event, this could work.

The Snowdon Horseshoe and Pyg Track/Miners Track ascent/descent (or train) is a one day affair. However, the horseshoe takes around 7 hours of hard graft and heart in the mouth action.

In my opinion, it would be wise to drive to Snowdonia from Gosport followed by beers, over night sleep, then the ascent/descent of Snowdon followed by either; food, beers, overnight sleep or drive back to Gosport after the ascent/descent.

Here you go dude….

....I'll have to co-ordinate with family and work responsibilities etc.... but not ruling it out. I will definitely be at F&C.

Only if I can come by donkey. Otherwise I ain't getting up no damn hill.

Hi to all who are anticipating attending Fish'n'Chips 2015 in Gosport.

There is a faint murmuring of following Fish'n'Chips 2015 Gosport with IH HIKE 2015 in Snowdonia.

See; http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=6961.msg383533#msg383533

In theory this venture could run; Fish'n'Chips 2015 11th & 12th July, straight into IH HIKE 2015 in Snowdonia 13th & 14th? July 2015.

I am mad keen on the idea however, in order for ideas to turn to action support and commitment is needed. So who's interested in "Fish'n'Chips 2015 Gosport back2back IH HIKE 2015 in Snowdonia"?

@Giles said ""In all probability none of the Iron Heart crew will be able to join in.  Straight after F 'n" C we have a whirlwind of things going on…...""

I dont know about you guys but i feel that planning the IH Hike 2015, a trip that "In all probability none of the Iron Heart crew will be able to join in", because of its proximity to the F'n'C weekend, just feels wrong. So an alternate date, ideally a weekend, would allow all interested parties to attend.

So what do you guys think?
Any possible alternate dates for IH Hike 2015?

[Jeansman]

Immediately prior to F'nC (eg the Thursday or Friday) would seem to make more sense?

[Giles]

Iron Heart crew are likely to be in Berlin prior to F 'n' C.

I'd just go ahead and plan what makes sense for you guys.  Mine and Haraki's schedules for 2015 are ridiculous.

F 'n' C is when it is, as some retailers will be in Berlin for whatever goes on then anyway.

You'll have more people in UK in and around F 'n' C than any other time of year.
