There's been an amazing blanket of cloud across the Carneddau mountains today. I took a walk this morning along the track from The Cottage to get a better view before breakfast. There's an easterly wind blowing and it felt super fresh - especially having come straight of of bed!

Clare and I took an afternoon trip to the Llanberis Slate Quarries with the intention of doing a few routes. Our original plan had been to climb near Colwyn Bay, but the coast was enveloped in thick mist all day. By the time we'd actually got to the quarry, the sun was all but gone and although the sunset was spectacular an arctic gale had begun blowing! We retreated to a lower level which was a bit more sheltered and got a route in as the darkness descended (although Clare finished off climbing by headtorch!)...
