Ahhhhh... I know I can crawl up the Devil's Staircase, that is at least something... and I never bothered taking the compact I put on for TdG off, so that is convenient as well... :D

I better start preparing myself for this one...

Dim wibblio... dim wibblio... dim wib... dim...

Well I suspect we are both going to have top defer to a higher authority on this. To whit, the 1955 edition of the Guiness Book of Records, the Holy Grail according to St. Ray C Shred, the Keeper of Arcane Knowledge. For it was he who supplied the list for our 1992 jaunt and none of those involved have since been cast into road-running for ascending the wrong summits!;)

I am also a disciple of St Shred and arcanely Flintshire is Flintshire, detached or otherwise, so Moel Fammau has it!
In any case I just googled the postcode for Bettisfield, it gave me an English one, in Shropshire!!!:eek::eek::eek: Not going there!

Erm, btw, done the route, gulp, including some gratuitous and unnecessary but ultimately aesthetically pleasing cols:)
And sorry L'escalier du diable is out unless we take 6 days rather than 5......:eek:

Oh well, it was fun attempting to throw a spanner into your plans!

No such thing as an English or Welsh postcode BTW, just a postcode. They don't follow the country boundaries.

Rhys, your efforts are nothing compared to the massive spanners of physical degradation and mental diminution of those taking part!:p

Such a pitty to miss out on 'Escalier du Diable' on this occasion... Any other lovely's included to make up for this omission?

Any ideas of routes on days etc yet, so I can start taking my pick?

Is it obvious that I am completely insane? As I am clearly jumping up and down with excitement about this severe punishment already...:cool:

I think what I probably meant was that depending where you are in Bettisfield you can have a Shropshire postal address or not perhaps.......

In any case Steam Bunny rules preclude the inclusion of "summits" lower than that found in Wheeze's garden;)
