There was snow forecast again for this weekend, so Bryon, Chris, Dave, and I loaded gear for all eventualities, together with our bivvy bags... planning to crash out in some convenient ditch, and hence on site for any early morning action.
We had driven up last night and pulled into the carpark by Swallow falls .. not realizing this was the local lovers lane hangout ... we woke up in the morning having been disturbed during the night as various cars came in, and turned around finding it occupied. Luckily we had moved away from the car to crash, as the ground was covered in discarded refuse from the nighttime visitors.
The weather was not brilliant, but we headed back to Idwal area. Up a gully on the south side of Devil's Kitchen, over into Cwm Cneifon and up the right hand branch of Clogwyn Du.
In the evening we pulled into another side road/ carpark just down from the pub in Capel curig, dropping over the stone wall and lining up beside the wall.
