Seems we are getting it better than down south for a change. A lovely morning here. A couple of degrees above freezing and dry and bright. Riverside trail walked and just finished my porridge and blueberries. Time for a cuppa now.

Apparently this was Mount Snowdon yesterday. Yet 30 miles away all we had was a bit of sleety rain

Good to see they look quite well equipped. Looks like an ice axe that guy has?

When I cycled up Snowdon in October a few years ago it was 50 mph freezing fog at the summit 😂

I have walked to the summit several times usiing different paths. I have seen people cycling or running up/down it. No idea how they/you do it. I take my hat off to you.

The locals are hardy. My twin grandsons and their friends often spend weekends on or near there, having campfires. Bloody stupid if you ask me
