Been there done that, discovered how good my comfy sofa in my nice warm house!

Having done Pen-y-fan a few times in my youth, I think the correct phrase would be 'No, But thankyou for the kind offer..'

Dragged my 3 boys up that route when they were much younger (I guess they were 9, 11 and 13 at the time). One hated going up, one hated going down and one didn't like being at the top!

It was all part of a week of adventures I took them on instead of a conventional holiday.
Within the week we walked the Sowe Valley footpath (in Coventry), Cycled the Coventry Canal, Spent a day at Holme Pierrepont canoeing and sailing (that was the day before we climbed Snowdon), flew from Luton to Liverpool (and back) for a fiver each way - none of them had flown before and it was the cheapest fare I could find and we spent the day in Liverpool and we also visited the Millennium Dome.
Can't remember whether we fitted in anything else but we were all pretty knackered by the end of the week.
