Zip line at Penrhyn Quarry Thursday afternoon then early start Friday, up and down Llanberis path. If anyone fancies it we are starting our ascent at 5am from Llanberis.

Video from the trip, need to get my chest mount angles sorted for next time. It almost looks like a towpath in places but i can guarantee its very steep.

I would have liked to have come down the rangers path, but the two guys i was with had very little mountainbike experience. I took one of them to The Forest of Dean (which frightened the hell out of him) for a bit of a taster, and the other had never ventured off a bridleway, so i did a lot of waiting around on the way down. Visibility was poor for the top third and we made sure we could see each other at all times, in case of any problems. Next time i am hoping a couple more experienced riders come along, so we can take the more difficult route.
