A fine weekend for the first Duke of Edinburgh's Award expedition of this term. I was working with John and we'd cunningly placed his van at the camp area, pre-expedition so that we'd have some major camp comforts. As such, we enjoyed some fine dining outside with camp table and chairs as the sun went down behind Tryfan!
On Sunday morning, I met up with John and the teams via a quick ride up the Nant Ffrancon valley.
I took the back road to aviod any traffic, but ended up having to dodge a few horses.
And twice, had to slow down for sheep! It was an entertaining commute.
John had already got bacon rolls cooking and fresh coffee by the time I arrived. We were able to enjoy the morning light before checking on the teams.
Once everyone was one the move, the rains arrived...
Everyone made it to the end, so it was a successful expedition all round. In the evening, only a few hours after arriving home, we went down to watch a local guy, Gruff Rhys, play a gig in Bethesda. It was quite good, but I was exhausted, and almost too tired to stand, so we went for a drink in the pub next door while the support acts played! Nice to be able to walk to and from a concert though...
