Er, to save me reading through all this(and still getting it wrong), do we have a date?
Saturday 28th May for the hoon and the meal. Sunday 29th for climbing Snowdon.
Boo hoo. On a classic car event in Kent that weekend. Shame, that choo choo up Snowdon's good fun.
I had forgotten that little detail. I'm sure the walk will either kill us or cure us. 
The good news is i'm not takeing you over the Crib Goch ridge, awesome as it is (i did it Easter Saturday) its a really long haul and in places the ridge is only 18" wide with the best part of 1000ft down one side and 1500ft down the otherside...shear.
If we arrive early enought then it will either be the Miners path or the Pyg path from Pen-y-Pass. otherwise it will be find somewhere in LLanberis to park and take the tourist route up, which is flat (well as flat as it can be climbing a mountain), and pretty much follows the railway up.
With the amount of light about these days ,and assuming its a good day, we can take our time...im going to work on a contigency plan incase its 70mph winds and blizzards.

I await the post discussing the technical merits of the helicopter that the mountain rescue team employ.
Who knows, if you promise the aircrew a blast in your Tivs and Porkers, they'll probably give you an extra long flight, taking in the best parts of Snowdonia and the Welsh coast.
Assuming its still daylight, of course.

That sounds like a plan to me! We will have to try that idea, I have always wanted a ride in a helicoptor
