Any other routes people can suggest?
Tryfan?....well worth it if you havn`t been up there. Gordale Scar....decent walk. Ladybower resevoir....good walk with decent scenery. Scarborough to Whitby old railway line. 22 miles.
Obviously depends on where you live if you can reach these in decent time. Tryfan is a four hour drive for me,but well worth the effort.

North Wales way? Think it's near me.
The Autumn Wind is a pirate Blustering in from sea, With a rollocking song, he sweeps along, Swaggering boisterously.
His face is weather beaten. He wears a hooded sash, With a silver hat about his head, And a bristling black mustache.
He growls as he storms the country, A villain big and bold. And the trees all shake and quiver and quake, As he robs them of their gold.
The Autumn Wind is a raider, Pillaging just for fun. He'll knock you 'round and upside down, And laugh when he's conquered and won.

Tryfan is not far from Betsw-y-Coed. Normal climbing o.k.,in other words ,no ropes. Gordale Scar,Peak district. Ladybower ,near Chesterfield.It is apparantly where the dambusters did their practice bombing before the raids on Germany.

A few of my pals have been up it a few times. Very tiring according to them.

lots of lose snow just below the summit on the watkins pass made the final ascent a btad exciting it certainly made the adrenalin flow and the descent along the south ridge was really enjoyable.the weather conditions were excellent.
people were even going up Crib Goch.

We tried it on Sunday, got about half wayish and turned back, wind and snow was just too bad..... Although my mate did decide to skinny dip in the lake at the bottom for some bizarre reason.
