Still want to do this (MikeW that is a hint!!!)
Nope, you dont need a full face helmet to get down Snowdon, actually, you dont even need a bike. But, if folk can choose to use a bike, they're also welcome to use a full face helmet, 8" forks, pogo stick or whatever they like (as long as it's before 9am or after 5pm of course!).
Personally, if you're going to ride at any real pace,I reckon it justifies a big lid more than most of the stuff I've ridden at Morzine / Les Gets, that's proper Danny Harte wannabe, mincing British stormtrooper territory.
This thread is STW in a microcosm, excellent!
I bought a full face the other day... Not because I'm a legend... But because I tend to fall off alot and I've to many pictures of people picking dirt out of their gums. I'll be using it in the alps and cautiously picked uk destinations lol.
Not sure I'll be attempting this now on my trip in a couple of weeks. Looks a touch too techie for a numpty like me!
The Ranger Path is a great ride, being a newby to it all I am glad I had body armour...not FF though, but it would have been nice just to stop the rain getting in my eyes and freezing my head!
Its definately not gomper territory, but its not majorly tech either at the right pace and on the right line. Give it a go, trust your bike and dont hold on to the brakes!!!!
