I have spent this weekend in Snowdonia with my oldest son, Josh. We drove up Saturday morning and after a full breakfast at the Pinnacle Cafe in Capel Curig we drove down the Ogwen valley and parked at Idwal Cottage.
It was raining gently as we headed up to Llyn Idwal and I gave Josh a geography lesson as we followed in the foot steps of Charles Darwin. It turned out that he knew more than me having just done it all at school that week!
We headed up into the nameless cwm and up Seniors Ridge to the summit of Glyder Fawr, having lunch in the group shelter along the way. The winds were gusting 50mph on the summit and the windchill must have been about -15c. Josh had a lot of layers on!
We headed down the Devils Kitchen and finished the day with fish and chips. Its not often you can get a 12 year old to enthuse about anything but Josh had a good day, and enthused about the breakfast and the fish & chips.
