Navigation in the snow



Today we headed up onto Pen yr Ole Wen on the Carneddau and enjoyed the snow that has fallen over the last day and night and was still falling today. As you can see from the photos it was looking fairly wintery but the ground below is still not frozen. It was good to see plenty of folks out with axes at the ready and we had great weather for navigation with a proper whiteout on Cefn Ysgolion Duon from Carnedd Dafydd. We looked at sastrugi, rime ice and cornices so it was almost a winter skills course!
