The view from my tent

The stunning outline of Tryfan

I travelled home from Scotland on Saturday and then up to North Wales last night. Today is Day 1 of a Gold Duke Of Edinburgh's Award Expedition which I am assessing. There are five in the group and they are out for 4 days in The Snodownia National Park. Today they have walked from the coast over the Carneddau and into Gwern Gof Isaf at the bottom of Tryfan in the Ogwen valley. During the day Cath, Gordon and I have been able to get up onto Carnedd Llewelyn and then met the group on the bothy at Foel Grach for lunch. The weather has been good to us today but got cooler as the day went on.
