Hill Skills & Navigation Course



Today I have been joined by Jason, Steve & Neil. They were out yesterday looking at micro navigation with Bryn whilst today we undertook a mountain journey to put the skills into context. It was ideal navigation weather with the cloud down to about 400m, strong winds and constant rain all day. There are some good quantities of snow about as the photo of Cwm Tryfan shows. We headed up into the Cwn and onto Y Foel Goch and then down into Capel Curig. The snow was slushy underfoot due to the rain but we did not get higher than about 800m so I would expect it to still be hard higher up on North facing slopes.
