Spent a week hiking in Snowdonia, specifically the Harlech/Barmouth/Dolgellau area. I went up quite a challenging mountain, Rhinog Fawr, that I hadn't attempted before and where the paths are generally only obvious in hindsight. Based on that previous post about doing things solo that I perhaps shouldn't, here is a list of stuff that really earned its keep in my literal and metaphorical rucksack this time around:
Emergency satellite communicator. Mine's a Garmin Inreach Mini. Allows you to send check-in messages or SOS calls, plus your location, even when there's no phone coverage. I'd preset a "delayed but safe and nothing bad has happened" message, and I used it.
Ordnance Survey Active (waterproof) maps. They're bulkier and more expensive than the standard paper maps, but stand up a lot better to folding them the wrong way, shoving them in your pocket, then falling on your arse in a puddle. Guess how I know.
Pair of lightweight trekking poles + being taught how to use them properly. Huge improvement over having one heavy one and just sort of leaning on it at random.
Sealskinz waterproof socks. Up to your ankles in a puddle and your boots aren't waterproof anymore? No problem!
Water-to-Go bottle with a filter that kills bacteria, viruses and giardia. Makes getting drinking water from streams a bit less anxiety-inducing.
Having done a mountain skills course in the meantime. I mean yes you can figure a lot of stuff out through lengthy trial and error and try not to die, or you can...go and get taught stuff by a professional.

Still hyperfixating on those Welsh railroads! Check this out:
Tumblr media
“The mountain ranges of Snowdon, Cader Idris, and Plynlimon, with their Rivers and Lakes, are also readily accessible from the various Watering-places, thus placing within the reach of visitors a delightful combination of the natural beauties of sea and land.”
Tumblr media
“SPECIAL CHEAP DAY RETURN TICKETS are issued to many of the above stations to holders of Tourist Tickets.”
So not only could Will (and the rest of the Institute) have taken the train to Cadair Idris, he could’ve done so with a “special cheap day return ticket” to neighboring Dolgelly (a.k.a. Dolgellau). Quick and thrifty! Then again, Will was traveling in December, so it’s possible that he might have missed out on the special discount fare for the apparently well-known tourist attraction of Cadair Idris, which was “readily accessible” to anyone who wanted to visit it...even those unfortunate sightseers who didn’t own “the fastest horse in England.”
Now I’m thinking how funny it would have been for Will to turn up at Cadair Idris after four “desperate” days on horseback, only to find a throng of Victorian tourists fresh off the Cambrian Railway and cheerfully picnicking on the mountain. And wondering why this silly young man had thought he could only get to such a popular and “readily accessible” destination by riding a horse all the way from London
“Have you not heard of the train, lad?”

How To buy Gold: Kinds of Investments And Tips For Owning

Nevertheless, underneath certain circumstances, similar to buying a house for the primary time or incurring childbirth costs, allows withdrawal of earnings out of your Roth IRA free of penalty if you’ve held the account for less than five years, and freed from penalty and taxes in case you have held it for greater than 5 years. https://iragoldinvestments.org permits traders to lock in positive factors they may have made in stocks and transfer that wealth into precious metals, which may provide more stability.

If you happen to plan to pay back the funds, you've got till the tip of the third yr.
