cut gate? do you have a link to said mad bastard route?

snap! went to Lady Canning's/Houndkirk/Blacka Moor this morning!

I've got a jack flash 29er which hasn't let me down so far, so I'd recommend a scandal if you can afford that price point. Looks like the main upgrades from mine are the frame geo and the forks

2nd dibs if you'll post them? let me know if above falls through

Had a few deliveries over the past month to tide me over:

Abbeydale Brewery
Voyager IPA Minikeg - Newest variety of their voyager, really excellent, lovely fruity/hoppy balance 3.25/5
Moonshine Minikeg - The beer Abbeydale are probably most famous for, super refreshing, light and floral 3/5.

Tiny Rebel Brew Co
Got their mixed pack of 24 (Cwtch/Cali Pale/Easy Livin/Clwb Tropica). All decent beers, Clwb Tropica was my favourite although some find it too sweet. The pales were easy drinking and I've always liked Cwtch. 4/5 (cheap too at ~£33 for 24).

Two Tribes
Got their mixed 24 pack as well. Would rank them from worst->best:
Electric Circus -> Island Records Session IPA -> Dream Factory -> Metroland.
Surprised I liked the weakest most (3.8% for Metroland) as I usually prefer it stronger, really wasn't a fan of the Electric Circus though. 3.5/5. Based in London and 20% off first time buy with voucher code.

Next I've got a couple of Bad Brew Co. mixed packs coming, will update when they come.

Joe and Don were next level.

Honestly early April could be anywhere from full winter conditions to 10-15+ºC, bring waterproofs and a sturdy pair of shoes just in case it's wet. Metcheck's long range forecast can be a good(ish) indicator, but it's often changeable in the mountains.

Give Moel Siabod a try, can start and finish at the cafe, much quieter than Snowdon. There's a nice easy walk around Cwm Idwal, or hit up Pen-yr-Ole-Wen if you're keen for a mountain around there. For a longer jaunt, have a look at the Oggie 8, takes 12 hours to do but you can do the first half (north side of the Ogwen) on it's own which is considerably shorter. Aber Falls is also worth a day out, and the walks around Sychnant Pass too.

For the less keen, head to Llandudno for the Orme and a couple of great taprooms, or Conwy for lots of nice pubs/cafes/great castle/seaside scenery.

@Eejit's suggestions are great too. Let me know if you have a particular place in mind, I used to live around there.

How does one apply to be part of the panel?

Yes, been like that for a month or two at very least. Android?

Ratings so far:
Sainsburys - Pastry quite thick, filling nice but not enough. 5/10
Greggs - Too sweet for me, pastry was good though. 6/10
Tesco - The front runner so far, decent amount of filling and good ratio to pastry. 7/10
