what i did last week, up the highest peak in Hong Kong in my IronHeart (it's chilly at the summit)

[Sugar Mountain]

Nice one KY. Maclehose has some seriously tough parts!

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…...................????

[trail and arrow]

what about doing it after fish'n'chips?

[Megatron1505]

I'll watch you guys…..from the pub.

[trail and arrow]

@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.
