Oh dear, hope you get better soon then!
Well, when you're 100% healthy again maybe you can consider the Carneddaus too! On a clear day you get views towards Ogwen as well as Snowdon!
If all fails, Nantlle should provide something at the lower levels

It was a great day out indeed, bit of a shame that I couldn't keep the camera out at all times as it'll dangle off my neck. I really need a solution to keep the camera secure whilst I'm moving.
It wasn't that hard really, I was hoping to do a mixed climb but my mate wasn't up for it! Though I'll probably need a different camera if I'm climbing mixed. Probably the fuji x10 but that's off topic here so I shall leave it here!

I'd imagine if you manage to get on the Watkins path or Rhyd ddu path to Snowdon you'd get some pretty amazing shots, if the skies behave! A gloomy day gives it a more realistic mountainy impression, rather than the colourful playground with bright blue skies!

Magically managed to tempt a mate to drive over from the North East to go into the fells. Striding edge and Swirral edge were both pretty busy today! Slightly gloomy skies but hey well it's winter it's the Lakes!
Took the 18-55WR kit lens so I can fully abuse it against the elements!

Not sure when will I get another mountain day out like this!
Some of the pictures had a big layer of mist on them (didn't process, deleted.) I'm guessing it's due to the weather, or maybe my filter got really dirty!

No worries. They've always been very very helpful whenever I had to call upon them. (aka hardly ever as I don't have the money!)
They're normally fast at answering emails too but if you want something that urgently, the phone is certainly the way forward. Get up early and ring them around opening hours.
Hope you get it!
Happy new year.

Well, at a push you can possibly ring up SRS and see if you can get them to send it RMSD. If you get hold of them early enough tomorrow you might get lucky!
As far as I know it's possible to get it on monday if you don't miss the cut off on saturday. Might incur extra for postage, but if you're willing to shell out a couple quid I can't see it being a major problem with a bit of luck.

Oh, probably one of the quickest responses I've done.

I believe there's one going at SRS if that helps but it's for £229.
