With more reports of overcrowding in the National Park, we set off from The Cottage on a route we were pretty sure would not be overrun.
We certainly saw more wild horses than people.
We headed out onto a peak that we've only been on once or twice before and took in several others along the way.
We really did have the place to ourselves.
There was full blue sky all day, but the horizon remained hazy.
Having spent most of the day working at The Cottage, we were able to make use of the light evenings for the first time this year.
We descended towards a lowering sun, feeling it's warmth. (it was 15 degrees when we left home!). On the way down, Clare spotted a Sparrow Hawk coming into land on the cliffs. Luckily, I had a pair of Uncle Ken's binoculars in my pack, so we were able to see it on it's nest.
Made it home just before dark...
Amazingly, just a few miles away in the other valley, below Snowdon, we later found out that this had been the scene at the Llanberis Pass. Bonkers.
