15 November 1987

Tryfan, Snowdonia

Another wet day in Wales ..  so after packing up we headed around to joe browns in Capel Curig for a bit of retail therapy and a coffee.

As it brightened up slightly we headed back towards Ogwen and stopped by milestone buttress .. walking up heather terrace then up to the top of tryfan. There followed some shenanigans as I led the team in going from Adam to Eve and back again (or the other way around) - a party trick from the university days.

Back down the ridge to the road and we dried off before heading home - and a stop at the Chinese in Llangollen for a special fried rice.

Nant Peris, Snowdonia

We were booked into the Ty Powdwr hut near Dinorwic on the Llanberis side of the the pass

The weather was very damp so we set off around to Ogwen with a plan to scramble up the ridge to Y Garn from  the Devil's kitchen side, then returning back via Glyder Fawr and down Bristley ridge.

Back at the hut there was some muttering about no hot water for showers ...  but then no one thought about it before they went out .. I just looked for a warm fire having had enough water for one day!
