Snowdon in the Snow



I have had another day off today so took the dog for a walk up Snowdon. The PYG track was very icey underfoot and there were plenty of people without winter kit who were slipping and sliding all over the place. There were several parties climbing on the Trinity Face although there did seem to be a trend of walking to the bottom of a route, deciding it wasn't in condition and then moving along to the next route! Although the mountains are very white and the paths very icey from lots of footprints compressing the snow the turf is not frozen. I was glad of my crampons on the way down and enjoyed some beautiful views. I am off to Scotland at the weekend and my appetite has been nicely wetted!
