There are always plenty pics around of overloaded vehicles
but this one takes the first prize in my books. You cant imagine how the thing was loaded to such an extent
Meanwhile here's an amusing story
Its called the
Easy rider suitcase and its the invention of Mr He of China
It looks much like an ordinary suitcase but has wheels powered by an electric motor. Mr He reckons it will solve China's growing pollution problem for commuters - - -
Closer to home
Some time ago I had decided to walk the Snowdon Horseshoe, or part of it on Saturday June the 7th. Ginny one of our original 3 Peaks and 15 Peaks team agreed to come along.
The weather forecast was to say the least dismal for the Saturday so there was much packing of waterproofs etc on the Friday before i set off for Wales
A little bit of excitement from a small factory down the road just before I left when they decided to set fire to the place. Just one appliance attended so it was judged not to be too serious
Meeting up with Ginny we drove up to the Pen-y-Pas car park and had a look at the situation
at least it wasn't raining but the clouds looked at little threatening
An 0530 start in almost perfect conditions with our route to Snowdon in the distance clearly outlined using the ridge on the left
Our decision not to ascend by the more traditional Crib Goch knife edge route would prove to be correct
because less than an hour later we were right in the middle of a thunderstorm
3 hours after starting out we stood soaking wet on the summit
The views around us were however, absolutely stunning
With one last look at our route up we beat a hasty retreat to the car park cafe and only just avoided being engulfed in a downpour!
