We got the first snow this week! I saw it on the way to work. And if there’s snow, it’s great to get into it. Neil thinks so too! So our plan was to go and seek it out on the Saturday.
In the morning, it would still be cloudy and rainy, but it would get sunnier after that, according to the Met Office. So we couldn’t really check the mountains from a distance. We just chanced it! We went from the front door up the path past Moel Faban and y Gyrn, and went up y Drosgl. Then we headed for Bera Bach. Hardly any snow! A pity. But still a beautiful walk. But by then we had to make a plan. What next?

Neil suggested to do a loop via yr Elen. That sounded good! First stop Carnedd Gwenllian. And we had lunch. But then we both wondered if that itinerary was a good idea. We both had forgotten to bring a head torch, and the days are so short! We decided to turn around and go back to y Drosgl. And went back over Gyrn Wigau. And we were back in town well before it got dark. And we were tired anyway. We got home and lit a fire! We hadn’t seen much snow, and the weather had been cloudier than hoped, which had obscured the views, but we had done a lovely hike that had allowed me to show Neil some new terrain. And there’ll be more opportunities to get into the snow!
