So having cancelled a two day course on Thursday, due to yet another hurricane coming in from the atlantic. I ended up instead with one of the group turning up today for a one to one day of winter skills. I also had a friend preparing for his Winter ML so asked if he wanted to observe.
We headed up into Cwm Glas, turned right to void the large accumulations of snow and the avalanche debris in Parsley Fern Gully and made it to the top of Carnedd Ugain before descending the Cryn Las Ridge. A lovely day and better than I was expecting. It really is winter on the tops. With the final 200m really well frozen.
I did see these posts on the way up. Trying to find out what they are for. But rumour is they are a hydro power scheme. Which is quite outrageous even for Snowdonia National Park.
