A mixed bag last weekend – on Saturday evening I travelled up to Nant Peris to meet Greg who was already up there with MPS. The plan of going for a run the following day quickly disintegrated when I found out they were planning on climbing\/clambering\/abseiling up and down Snakes and Ladders (and Tunnels)<\/a>, a route I’ve wanted to do for a while. To get my running fix, I therefore went for a wander \u00a0up Snowdon that evening.<\/p>\n

\"It's<\/a>

It’s quite difficult to take a decent photo at night in the rain. \u00a9\u00a0Haydn Williams 2013<\/p><\/div>\n

I set off from Pen-y-Pass, currently uninhabited whilst it undergoes a \u00a31.3million refub and extension<\/a>, and climbed the Miner’s Path under a blanket of low cloud. The full moon behind provided enough light for me to reach Llyn Llydaw without my head torch though, which sprang to life as I hit the button and broke off the surfaced path to head up the grassy flank of The Horns. Spots of rain blew across the torch beam, and by the time I was at the top of the ridge line I was in the cloud. A slippery decent to Bwlch y Moch was followed by a similarly slippery run down the death trap which is the Pyg Track in the rain when wearing\u00a0Mudclaws<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Not<\/a>

Not as difficult as taking one at night in the rain with no flash, though. This is a genuine photo. \u00a9 Haydn Williams 2013<\/p><\/div>\n

A nice outing without anyone else around, I got back to the car at 21:30 and ventured to the pub. It soon became clear that my enthusiasm for getting out-and-about might have been at the expense of my right calf, still recovering from the race of doom<\/a>. I therefore opted to head home instead of \u00a0stressing it more by climbing Snakes and Ladders (I’ve seen photo since; it looks amazing). Sunday’s plan was to head to the Service Park of Wales Rally GB<\/a> which had been running since Thursday, but alas I got my timetables mixed up and by the time I’d finished working in the morning the cars had all left.<\/p>\n
