Default A winter walk 22nd Jan 2007

Here are a few photos from a walk up Snowdon up the Pyg track & down the Miners Track which was a 6 hr walk.
Wind chill was -17, wind speed gusts up to 50mph. It wasn't easy but we made it to the summit & back safely. The snow was up to the knee in places & the isotonic drinks i was carrying froze in the bottles!!


Even in the car park it was freezing. Note the fashionable over trousers


Half way to the top. The summit can be seen above my head in the distance...... A long way to go.


On the summit after a 3hr hard climb in swirling snow & freezing winds.
