Hope you manage to sort something out.

I quite fancy a day walking (and scrambling) up Tryfan if the weather is nice sometime over the weekend.

Looks - eh - Rugged!

Looks less dangerous... though looks are, no doubt, deceptive...

It's also closer (for me) but the knees put that sort of thing out of the question anyway...

Tryfan is beauftiful - the first part is walk past a little waterfall up to a plateau upon which there is a lake that can't be seen from the ground. The second part is a bit of a scamble towards the top, but nothing too excessive. The only really *interesting* bit is if you decide to jump between "Adam and Eve", a couple of rocks at the top with quite a drop at one side.

Pen y Fan looks interesting though Zeity - might have to give that one a go (bit closer than Tryfan as well).

I've just spent an interesting (not) hour or so trying to get Microchip C18 to cooperate & compile something.

Why does this stuff have to be so difficult?

After much cursing & RTFMing (which covers an earlier version with different menus & suchlike) I got the thing to compile this complex program:

#include <p18f4860>

void main ( void ) // love the voids: really gets the purists going... :D
{

   while( 1 )
   {
       PORTAbits.RA0 = 1;
       PORTAbits.RA0 = 0;
   }
}

For ages it kept saying "can't find co18i.o" until I realised it was a linker search path thingie that hadn't been set up.

In what now seems like another life, I walked around Neuadd reservoir a couple of times with a lady of my acquaintance... it's near Pen Y Fan. (ish).

If you search on google maps for Pen Y Fan, then look to the south (ish), you'll find Upper Neuadd Reservoir... it looks like it was taken at a pretty dry time coz the promontary at the northern end of the reservoir is normally an island...

Just checked it out on the map - definately easier to get to than Tryfan, so might reconsider and pay a visit to Pen y Fan instead. Especially as DD is demonstrating a dislike for car travel at the moment.

If I search on Google maps for Pen Y Fan I get a small street in Llansamlet, Swansea
