Snowdon and Mynydd Mawr

Posted by Ronan on May 24, 2010 in random | 0 comments

While in Bangor we got the opportunity to climb some fantastic mountains that Wales has in abundance, namely Snowdon (3,300 ft) and Mynydd Mawr (2,290ft).  Funnily enough Mynydd Marr  translates into ‘Big Mountain’ even though it’s a good 1,oooft shorter than Snowden!

We met up with Paul Sandham of Geosho at the Inventorium event and climbed Mynydd Friday evening. Paul then recommended we take the Watkin path to avoid the masses – and boy was he spot on. On Saturday we climbed Snowden in glorious sunny weather as did 100o’s of others – thankfully they all took the easy path while we took the hardest . It was tough going but we managed to get up in just over 2 hours. On the way down Iano transformed in some kind mountain goat.. he would have been down in less than hour if I hadn’t slowed him down!

If you ever get the chance you should climb Snowdon – the view is just amazing..

Random Saturday Thoughts

So the week is over and what have we done? Loads & loads with most of the ToDo’s done.  Really happy too because it was a short week.  One of the nice achievements was the Headers (astro soccer team) getting back to winning ways.. 9-2 last night. About time too!

Next week is block booked, as is the following week when we head to World Travel Market in London,  so a fair bit of work over the weekend

The presentation for next week went in (on time) – so that’s  a load off my mind. We just have to deliver it with style!

Earlier in the week I was in Dublin meeting up the O, Ha and JJ.. we also went up to cheer on  C (as she listed herself in the Dublin marathon!) who ran it just over 4hrs. Well done C!

A little bit of Friday Fun

Ian and I were discussing this yesterday… okay okay.. it was me who was re-enacting the scene for Ian as we drove back to the house (minus the actual beer bottles). He wasn’t impressed

Makes me laugh every time.

Maybe next time we could do the Mocking-Bird-Scene..

Rain..

I love lamp

When heading to lunch today with the guys we discussed presentation training  – which is running this week. It was suggested we prepare something.. otherwise we’d be stuck to say something and say whatever came into our heads. I immediately thought of Brick from Anchorman and ‘I love lamp’ … the other guys looked at me in a very funny way..  (they think I’m crazy!)

2mins in .. I love lamp… and of course LAMP (nerd joke)

A Tree, Virgin Mary, Hysteria

When the guys were ordered to cut down the tree in Holy Mary Parish Church I bet they didn’t reckon on chainsawing out the Virgin Mary. Well that’s what’s after happening in Rathkeale Limerick.

Bock the robber has some thoughts on the matter.

I love the qoute from Local parish priest Fr Willie Russell who said on radio station Limerick Live 95FM yesterday that people should not worship the tree. “There’s nothing there . . . it’s just a tree . . . you can’t worship a tree.”
