Climbing was great - we went on the "Lost World Expedition", aka "The Indiana Jones Run", on Saturday. This is a huge circuit through the Lanberis slate quarries comprising abseils, a climb, various tunnels and ledges, and some scary climbing on ancient iron ladders and chains. The midair transfer from the bottom of one ladder, which was missing most of its brackets, onto another going in a different direction, was particularly exciting with 300' of air below /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

This was followed by the rugby in a pub (England /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif ) in Llanberis, and then we watched the start of some other game, but I had to leave after shouting "Allez les Bleus". Not sure why /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Sunday was up the north ridge of Tryfan, then Bristly Ridge onto the Glyders, and down the Devil's Kitchen. My legs are sore /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Gorgeous drive down the A470 this morning /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[mrbloto]

where is this

 

[damo]

Cardiff Bay, before the Barrage?

 

[graham]

Rumney River and the boat is "Eureka" I think?

 

[NickiCrutchfield]

That sounds fantastic. The only part of your weekend I know is Tryfan from my school geology trip. Scary leaping from Adam to Eve. have I got that right?
Nicki

 

[damo]

That's the one! But too windy to do the jump on Sunday /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

 

[mrbloto]

graham you have to tell me the owner what year and where the boat is now

 

[damo]

It is at CBYC, owned by either Roy Ackerman or Dave Hurst, and it was sometime in the early 70's

Unless there is another Eureka somewhere around here?

 

[chrishelen]

You boys are waaaay too clever for me. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[damo]

But we don't know if it's the right answer yet do we? /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[graham]

The owner was big J___ G_______. No idea where it is now but your moving the goal posts now so Im claiming that one. Damo believe it or not there are two Eurekas .The one at CBYC is wood the one in the pic is a GRP potting boat convertyed for sea angling.

so the next question is , look at this picture and tell me how many Islands you can see in it?

 

[Allan]

My answer would be two, the Holms. I guess that is Barry harbour and the one on the right is the English coast.
Allan

 

[mrbloto]

[mrbloto]

by the way it ended up where most of the boats in the river did sunk and washed out to no 1 bouy
