So that’s how it’s done! Many thanks, Tom…
OK, so it’s something to do with rocks and bands, and Wales being Gaul but not quite, and Mass Attacks - OK got it. Makes perfect sense, count me in.

It’s one way. Another approach would be to count the posts from the start of the thread until you reached number 8.

I’m not good at counting: 1, 2, many… I get lost after two

OK, just count to two. Then do it again. Then repeat this entire process.

If it were the 30th (Saturday) and due to having to work the other days I may be able to get a pass out. I can see if Peter would available too.
Not been down that way in a while. Good memories of a snowy day many moons ago

Many many moons ago! 22nd January 2005. Jimmy was 12 and unlicensed! There was no snow at all for any of us on Stiperstones and Corndon Hill earlier - but a complete blizzardy white-out on Long Mynd! Good times!

I had a very competent SUV when I did Long Mynd. It had sensible all season tyres that were not massively low-profile and clever automatic switching between FWD and AWD. I thought the road up on a dry day was “fun” and would not fancy driving up or down that if there was snow on the roads

Indeed, they close the Burway road if there is a hint of snow or ice. Over the years the occasional muppet has ignored that, and sometimes regrets the decision! The road up from the West is less exposed, but is still closed in snowy conditions…

Tnx Tom. We’ll finalise the arrangements closer to the time.

I dislike the Burway very much! I can just about cope with driving up it, but avoid driving back down it, or the descent to Asterton past the gliding club. I tend to only ever drive off the Long Mynd on the road N/NW towards Ratlinghope. If heading to Mr Bun The Bakers, I would then loop around via All Stretton back to Church Stretton. An extra few minutes driving to spare the increased heartrate!

Ive tentatively added an alert for g/wb-005 for sarurday 30th december. Hopefully the weather will allow for a full on heavy-weight activation across mutliple bands.
Feel free to join me/us on summit.
Will confirm final details closer to the time and if others activating that day a vist to Mr Bun.

The Burway doesn’t bother me, but Cathy would rather climb from Carding Mill !
If you don’t mind the extra flat mile, go up from All Stretton and park where the road meets the Portway near Robin Hood’s Butts (lol … must be the tights)

Some decades ago, I was going down that way, and met a car towing a long glider trailer coming up. He couldn’t reverse, so I had to reverse back up. I haven’t been keen on that route since!

Sunday a week or two back they were taking them down the Burway two at a time.
