The weather clearing on the descent

This week I have been in North Wales working for Bridgwater College. It was touch and go on Monday morning whether we went or not but in the end, 19 students, 2 staff and I headed off to see if the weather could possibly be as bad as the forcast!! Fortunately for us it was better than predicted and most of the activites went ahead.
Monday saw us pitching tents in the Ogwen Valley in near Gales and heavy rain having spent 6 hours traveling to get there.
On Tuesday the wind dropped enough for everyone to make it up Snowdon via the Pyg Track and Miners Track. We went as two groups with the students managing the day under the watchful eye of myself and Alun who was the ML in the other group.

Today's boating session was delayed by a few hours until the temperature rose above zero then it was a case of powering through the now thin layer of ice to have a trip down the canal. The swans had managed to keep a 3m area of canal open by swimming about all night but seem very happy that we open up a lot more of the canal for them. A mix of Tandem and Solo skills demonstrated today from the Outdoor Students.
