Ogwen Winter Skills Day

Managed to time some great weather and good winter conditions well today for my student's winter skills day. The vibe at Ogwen Cottage was positively alpine - I love the way that the coating of snow completely transforms the mountains. Felt like I was on holiday!




We made our way up onto Y Garn, stopping regularly to admire the views.


As we got higher up, the clouds blew in and we decided to try out walking with our crampons on. 




On the way back down, some of the group experienced some 'experiential learning' after asking of they could jump onto the small island in the lake. After a good discussion about decision making and living with the consequences, some of the team decided to go for it. Some were more successful than others! Brrr! Great day, with some great students.
