Well I headed out today and had a feeling that the chances of popping through the clag to sunnier conditions was highly probable, but you never know. I was out assessing a few people on thier summer ML, and had a great day as we covered the ‘mountain day’ element. However as we gained the football pitch on Y Gribin the skies open and we were floating in a sea of cloud.
I set the group some rope work tasks and whilst they went about completing them I set up my iPhone in time-lapse mode. Below is a video of the quick video I made. However as we were doing the ropework it occured to me that we might get a brocken spectre.
Now I have been in the mountains for over 20 tears but never seen a truly great example, however the sun was above us, and about to cast a shadow down on the cloud below and the conditions seemed perfect. So after the ropework the spectre came out, and I got my first amazing example, and was kicking myself for not draging the main camera up the hill. Instead though I got some great images with my iPhone.
