Couple of weekends ago, I was in the campsite below Tryfan when this bloke and his 14ish year old daughter pulled in to the carpark and said to me somebody told them there was route up the South Side of Tryfan that was suitable for a dog. It may be possible from that col between Tryfan and Bristly Ridge, so I pointed them towards the Heather Terrace path. As soon as they headed off, I said to myself what sort of an idiot I was for not challanging them on what they were intending on doing. It was very early in morning, with a glorious weather forecast, so my logic was they would realize the error of their ways before they got into trouble.
Some of the comments on here seem to equate Fell Runners that have a route on the device to this bloke, and possible in some very rare occasion that may be true. But that is a long way from a runner who knows a route but has a quick look at the watch every now and then to ensure he has not made some stupid mistake.
