Which weekend/day are you thinking of going to Tal Y Fan? I’d be up for it depending when. There’s loads of other summits in the vicinity, could take some Hovis butties and make a day of it!
I plan to give Tal Y Fan a go during the bank holiday weekend at the end of the month, not sure which day, I’ll have to see which is more convenient for any interested members on Thursday.
I’ll have a look at some other nearby summits later, but I know the great orme is close and we could do that on the way.
I’ve spoken/listened to a few guys in the past who have been tackling a few summits around there, hopping from one to the other. I can’t remember which ones or in what order but it looks like these are the closest to Tal Y Fan:
Carnedd Llewelyn (GW/NW-002)
Pen Llithrig y Wrach (GW/NW-013)
Creigiau Gleision (GW/NW-028)
Might be worth considering planning a route consisting of a couple of them? They’re all a decent amount of points too!
Kev I don’t have an OS map of the area living in Wrexham, if anyone could bring one to the club on Thursday I will plan a route up to the following summits
Carnedd Llewelyn (GW/NW-002)
Pen Llithrig y Wrach (GW/NW-013)
Tal y Fan (GW/NW-040)
I’m definately up for Tal Y Fan !

Thanks for the comments guys.
Did someone mention Hovis butties???? The Orme isn’t great for 2m Karl, lots of stray RF up there.

Oh yes, Hovis butties!

I knocked up this map last year using the list of summits at the time:

It’s handy for visualising where the summits are in relation to each other.

And we’ll see where we go from there.
I think I’ve got an OS Explorer map for there but can’t make it to the club this Thursday 🙁
Might be able to come on the 27th though (need to give the other half advance notice!)
I better dust off my (home made) Sota beam!
