I have just come back from a great week away in Snowdonia, that is why there was no blog last week. Despite the poor weather and very cold conditions manged two 3000 ft summits. Add in a day out on the ffestiniog Railway and two evenings of climbing at the fabulous Beacon centre and you can tell why it was a great week.
Considering that the average daytime temperature in Llanberis was 5 degrees and with snow visible on the summits all around some very poorly equipped people were heading in to the mountains. Even at the lower levels the weather was very changeable with driving rain, low cloud or mist and strong winds one minute and brilliant sunshine at others. The strong winds also added to the windchill with the temperature on the summits feeling like minus 12.
I have another few days off until back to work on Thursday and hopefully can get out for a couple of local coastal walks.
Love the mountains, so I will leave you a few pictures until next week when normal service will be resumed.
Stay safe.
