Not in November there is no way i could go that early, the baby would only be a few weeks old.

 :o  Looks Mental. What would i need to go?

My uncle has a cottage at the bottom of Snowdon mountain, cos it's off season i could probably get it cheap/free for a weekend.

With the pending baby boom here on NI Wild I can't see why we can't push this back a wee bit to late November/First week of December.  Hopefully by then the new Mothers will have settled into their feathery nests and the Bambinos will be in a routine.  Just think of the bedtime stories you will be able to tell about how Daddy conquered Snowdon with nothing but a Walking Pole and a bottle of Buckfast!!!

Kerry was great and definately the bigger the group we can get the more craic it will be.  Hopefully, the later it is in the year the better the chance for a bit of snow and awesome scenery... Still looking for the perfect panoramic photo for my conservatory  ;D

Tell the truth MG1... It was the mental image of the Walking pole and bottle of Buckie that swung it for you.  I new you couldn't resist  :D

Hi Wolf'

This trip has been put on the back burner for a while because NI-Wild had bit of a baby boom and we want to give everyone a fighting chance of getting to go.  Keep an eye on this thread because it has only been postponed, not cancelled.  8)
