If you search Google for Netbooks on Mountains, then yours truly has found himself firmly on top.

So far, 'Scutter' (network name for the Sammy) has been up Yr Wyddfa and Moel Siabod this week. Has anyone else got a netbook that's gone higher? I mean up a proper mountain? No driving up or cable cars or that sort of cheating... Altitude only counts on the ground as well, as there's got to be millions that have flown. Or - what about the highest number of Munros or Washis one's climbed?

So, lets have it - more pictures of Netbooks on Mountains and see who posts us the highest! Free set of A4 Snowdonia Moods - B&W images for the highest we get!

We've had the old arguments of mobile phones and hills, but here's a new one for you.

Netbooks on the mountian? For those of you who've been sleeping in Millican's cave for the last twelve months, a Netbook is basically a small laptop (7-10inch screen) with decent battery life and optimised for browsing 'tinternet on the move. There's a few different brands available, a couple of the better ones being the Asus EEE 901 and the Samsung N10. I nearly got the Asus, but the hard drive was too small, so the Samsung, affectionately known as a Sammy online, was the best option. With a battery life of over 7 hours and a large 10in screen, it's a brilliant piece of kit.

Not only that, but at 1kg you could conceivably take one on an overnight wild camp. To test it out, i took it for a walk up Yr Wyddfa last night and as you can see from the pics, managed to get online. There was nobody on MSN though to ask them to "guess where I am? No, Guess. You'll never get it. Go on though, guess!) If it does start a craze off though, you know where you read it first! Going to have to find a lighter version next and couple it to the Freeloader solar charger ;-)

Internet connection was using the N95 as a bluetooth modem, and speed wasn't overly impressive. That said, my home broadband is expensive and speedy so i'm spoilt in that regard. Some netbooks come with built in wireless broadband (such as the Asus eee901) but i'm waiting now for a smaller, lighter version.

The recent weather, in its transition from winter to spring, saw some pretty abrupt changes. From camping in a snow drift, within two weeks i was walking with a 35litre pack, trail shoes, shorts and camping in the sun!
A few weeks back on High Street...

Bring on the Sun. Overnight at Glaslyn.

Ideally, would have liked to have got to the top of Yr Wyddfa but time was against us and Moel Cynghorion would have to do. We hoped that the view would open out, but we saw the summit once and that was it.

Partially frozen Llyn Ffynnon y Gwas

Almost white out conditions on top! Thankfully, the snow didn't fall heavy enough for that to happen.

Looking towards Foel Goch and into Maesgwm.

And the video, in Maesgwm. When i finally remembered i can record video on the camera.

Llanberis Mountain Rescue Team have found another body at Clogwyn Coch, at the same spot that the two brothers were found last week. His identity is as yet unknown.

I think that all i need do is quote the LlMRT on the BBC website on this one:

Mr Henderson said: "We would reinforce ours safety message that if you're going onto the mountains in north Wales at the moment, you must be fully competent in winter conditions.

"You must be carrying appropriate kit, be competent navigators and know how to use a compass, an ice axe and crampons."

Yr Wyddfa as it was a few hours ago. Part of Clogwyn Coch is just visible to the far left of the image.
