I have been out on my bike this afternoon and it has been glorious. The mountains have a lovely dusting of snow and it has been bright and sunny all afternoon. I rode the Marin trail, a 25km mountain bike trail near Betws Y Coed. There are big climbs, big descents, exhilliarating single track and stunning scenery. You ride through Gwydyr Forest which is one of the largest forests in Wales. The singletrack has some very tight, technical, rocky and open ground to contend with, a lovely couple of hours out.
The forecast for the weekend is looking great:
Forecast for daylight hours for Saturday / Rhagolwg ar gyfer oriau'r dydd Dydd Sadwrn
Weather/ Tywydd
Sunny intervals and scattered sleet or snow showers these mainly over the west of the area where the odd heavier one is possible. Another cold start with frost in the valleys and again the risk of some fog or mist patches.
Visibility, cloud base / Gwelededd, Gwaelod y cymylau
Good becoming moderate in showers and poor in any early morning fog or mist. Broken cloud with bases around 750 metres.
Wind, temperature, freezing level / Gwynt, thymheredd, lefel rhewi
variable 5mph/minus 2 Celsius /500 metres
So no excuses, get out in the mountains and enjoy the weather - pack your axe and crampons!
