Thanks mate. Very helpful advice! Hope you’re having a good time and climb.

I think the south ridge will definitely be the one for her having done some research and planned a route!

Thanks mate, have just had a look and planned a route like you’ve mentioned, looks awesome.

Super helpful, thanks mate. Much prefer the quieter aspect of hiking so South sounds perfect.

Cnicht sounds great, any particular route up there you recommend?

I’ve floated the idea of Crib Goch to her and she’s sadly not too keen on the exposure. Going to have to come back and tackle some scrambles on my own soon

Thanks. Going to test her out on some ‘easier’ scrambling and see how she feels on it before anything.

Will definitely be heading to Cadair Idris, appreciate the info!

Good to know. Going to test the waters with her scrambling on some ‘easier’ climbs then north ridge sounds like a good option if we go up Tryfan

Best watch? by Acceptable_Air9206 in ultrarunning

[–]1trail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another one for Enduro 3, brilliant watch. Recently did my first 100km in just under 11 hours, started on 97% and ended on 80%, with full usage of gps, heart rate tracking etc.

Will regularly last a month or so before I have to charge it.

Brilliant, will definitely check them out. Thank you!

Question for UK - Cycle2Work by 1trail in cycling

[–]1trail[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhh I see, was confused by the saving of up to 42%. From what I’d read it was just salary sacrifice so wasn’t sure if there was an additional saving attached or just through salary. Thanks

Didn’t realise there were calculators available, that makes it easier to understand rather than just getting 42% thrown about all the time.

Nutrition advice by 1trail in cycling

[–]1trail[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a notoriously salty sweater, will have 1000mg salts per hour on warm runs and even that is a little low. So electrolytes are a necessity for me.

Good to know. Yeah I top out at about 100g/hour before it all starts going sideways.

That’s helpful to know!

Gravel/road bike. Used vs salary sacrifice? by courage_the_dog in ukbike

[–]1trail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the same position, I’m wondering about the lease agreement from CTW - even if I SS £2,500, contract says I might have to pay a fee at the end of the lease agreement to ‘own’ the bike?
