IRON HEART HIKE 2015

[Andreas1965]

Great idea guys… I'm part of a group of people calling themselves "the vintage hikers", which means we meet up several times a year (mostly weekends) all over Germany for a hike. "Vintage" because no modern gear is allowed. It's all wool, cotton, leather etc, no goretex and this stuff.

I'm currently trying to export this idea to the States, with small success... but I was able to organize a "vintage hike" at my inlaws place in Virginia (sadly only 4 people showed up). If any of you is interested, I'll keep you informed.

Here is a place I'm pretty sure most of you haven't been to and its stunning - The Cedars of Mount Lebanon

Plenty of good hikes in the Derbyshire Peak District, or there's the coast to coast hike…

Would you turn up anyway?

what i did last week, up the highest peak in Hong Kong in my IronHeart (it's chilly at the summit)

Nice one KY. Maclehose has some seriously tough parts!

it's awesome, nice and peaceful on a weekday to enjoy the hike and the view
my IH T-shirt is slightly wrecked now though, since i've been diligently washing it after every hike and wearing it again for the next one

iron hike 2015?
it has to be this!

@den1mhead:

thanks @den1mhead

who is game?

[den1mhead]

@trail and arrow , what a wicked idea to take the IRON HEART HIKE 2015 to Snowdonia and to tackle the Snowdon Horseshoe, which includes Crib Goch, see the video above !!!!!
The great thing is that the summit of Snowdon can also be reached via the Pyg Track and/or the Miners Track.
So we would have two different choices;

1. The hardy route which is, at all times, walking along ridge lines; The Snowdon Horseshoe

2. The less hardy route; Pyg Track/Miners Track accent & Miners Track/Pyg Track descent

We could all pile into the YHA hostels; Bryn Gwynant and Pen-y-Pass.

Who's up for it…...................????
