enjoyed that
love to know where the RO got his forecast from, but it was spot on
Carneddau would've been miserable (esp for marshals)
a bonus "warm-up" race as far as Ogwen, which I took nice 'n' easy (admiring the astonishing amounts of water streaming off the hillsides)
then started catching a few people up (mostly in other classes) including a nice wade through Llyn Bochlwyd outflow, and a very wet (but fun) descent to PYG hotel
snapped by Pete Douglas in PYP car-park (photos are up already!)
like Karno's Picnic on the Pyg track with a surprisingly large number of walkers
freezing in the wind once the fingerpost was reached
Many Thanks to the lady marshal huddled in a tent on Garnedd Ugain
then finished!
quick cuppa in cafe
jog back down, slowly warming back up again, cloud down to about 600m even at 3pm
caught up fjell_guy & fjell_gal and had a good chat/walk down to the bottom
got to go from Aber to Snowdon, which is what appealed to me about the route in the first place, so put me down as a happy camper on this one :thumbup:
