Climbing in the Llanberis Slate Quarries this afternoon. After a showery morning, the rock had dried off quickly and we climbed 'Fresh Air' (6a). There was a real autumnal feel to the place today. Great colours, with real vibrant greens and greys under a bright but moody sky. We've climbed the route many times before, but it still felt great to be out on the Slate. We walked up to the 'Senengeti' area, with the thought of doing a few more routes, but the bank holiday crowds made us change our minds and just enjoy the walk through the quarries.

On the way home, we stopped of for a quick ascent of of 'local peak' - Moel y Ci - the top half of which is completely covered with different types of purple heathers. There was a buzz of bees as we walked up among the fresh smelling colours. A real stunner in the evening light.
