Hello everyone, Ari (loved the broad band), Jazzy, P@, Andyc, Relf, GK, Mary6, vrk(Welcome!), ab (great no. 3 alternative but were they Syrian?), Ros (Yes! Just a dusting of snow. Walled around near Llanberis Pass and old snow frozen solid. Temp -1C; dunno what that is in Aritalk). Hope I haven't missed anyone.
