Cycling up Snowdon

In September I'm looking at cycling up to Snowdon. It will be at a quiet time before any numbers of hikers go up. I have an arm injury that means I cant lift my bike.

Which of the route are passable with a bike without lifting it over stiles or rocks. I'm thinking Ranger or Llanberis as I've hiked the other routes this year and they are unsuitable.

I'm going up for Milky way photography and have a lot of kit to carry, my bike is a rough ground Ebike so is the best option to get me and my kit up top. I have plenty of lights and hiking/cycling experience and will not go up if there's any cloud cover so should have good weather.

Where to find Mint Crumbles?

The sweets with a crumbly outer layer soft inner layer.

You used to see them everywhere, the bassets ones years ago were amazing but the other ones were nice too.

I've been trying to find some and other than a super cheap (tasteless) bag from B & M I cant find them anywhere.

I've tried...

Sainsburys, Asda, Tesco, Morrisons, Co-op

I'm in the NW.

Sanity check please for emergency call out.

Rehung a loose radiator at the weekend, as I attached last pipe back to the radiator the old weld on the output join failed where the system still had pressure. (Sagging radiator had bowed it and as i bent it back it failed)

I can DIY fittings using a wrench but haven't got either the equipment or knowledge to repair a weld issue.

I called a plumber who came out in 3 hours, drained the system, cut off the failed joint attached a new one and refilled the system.

About an hours work at approx 7pm to 8pm Saturday evening in the NW of England.

What would be a fair price to pay for this service so I can compare with what I was charged please?

EDIT: Initial quote £600 I said ill just drain the system and wait till Monday then he came back with £400 if they waived callout. Final total somehow became £460.
