Moel Faban

Thankfully, it's been relatively overcast today, so we've managed not to get too distracted, by going climbing or kayaking and have been able to spend some time packing and tidying The Cottage. We've assembled a real pile of kit - now all we have to do is whittle it down to squeeze it into a 23kg kit bag for the plane!? Although we've both been on plenty of expeditions and are quite used to packing for extended periods of time away, this is the longest trip I've ever been on and it's hard to prepare for what you might need in a few months time, having crossed various seasons and time zones! 

Given that we are planning to climb, surf, ski, kayak, mountaineer and snorkel, there's a fairly diverse set of kit requirements to account for!

Ok, now all I have to do is pack it!?
We broke the day up, by visiting nearby friends for a brew, then heading up into the hills for a quick blast of fresh air. Moel Faban is a great little peak (all of 408m above sea level) and easily accessed from the village of Racub. The views give a great 360 panorama of the Carneddau and Anglesey and the circuit gave us a nice little refresh before heading home at dusk for coffee, pancakes and more sorting!
