Planning for the weekend enters the final stages now. Everything is packed into the car and the lads briefed on food and kit they need. The weekend looks like a mixed one from the isometric maps issued by the Met Office at lunchtime today. 

It's a very early start tomorrow morning to get onto the hills without, hopefully, getting caught on the M4 in bank holiday traffic. The base for the, mainly Sunday, big walk, is Tyn Connel Bunkhouse inland from Llanddewi-Brefi in the Southern Cambrian Mountains. I've one lad wanting to spend a 'chilled' weekend with his tripod and high definition digital camera, whilst the other will be spending the time reviewing the area for future overnight wild camping and interesting routes for a fuller exploration of this relatively unused part of Wales. 

Should be good!
