Though I expect there will be a certain amount of walking as well.

If Hummers is about the same speed as SimonP, they are grunting their way up to Bwlch y groes about now - at least, according to Simon's GPS tracker.

I'm quite disappointed in Simon's tracker - it's not showing a live powertap feed, which is unlike him...

Should he be forced to do a short plyometrics circuit before he's allowed anything at the sleep stop?

Whenever I'm glum on an Audax I think of him doing iliotibial band stretches outside the pub in Longnor.

Stopped at vrynwy for half an hour, then lovely ascent of belch.

Llanberis at 12.55, my arrival followed shortly by Hummers who is safely out of arms length from me.
