Navigation & Hill Skills Course



I have been joined by Andy for a couple of days looking at navigation skills and general hillwalking skills here in Snowdonia. The freezing level rose today, we only got as high as about 600m but the ground was no longer frozen at that level and the snowline had visibly lifted. Having said that there was still plenty of the white stuff at higher levels and the freezing level is forecast to drop again over the next couple of days so there could be some more good winter climbing this weekend on North facing crags over 800m. 
Today we headed up to Llyn Lydaw from Pen y Pass and spent the day looking at navigation techniques and some steeper ground around the Horns.
