Apparently this was at the top of Snowdon, but we couldn't see more than a metre in front of us. Oh well, maybe next time. It looks amazing though.

The weekend after

We managed to get up and down Snowdon in 4 hours and 3 minutes. Which we're very pleased with as a start to our 3 peaks training. I think Amanda is going to post some pictures later.

Snowdon preparation

I got the ill preparation. Ill as in badly. This is how far I am with packing:

A pile of stuff in the corner of the room. But the all important list has been written, so should be easy to sort out once I get home. Going to try and not drink tonight - want to be in peak condition (!) for tomorrow.

The warm up

Right. It's come around much more quickly than we could have imagined, but this weekend we are attempting to walk up Mount Snowdon. Yikes.

Uncharacteristically for me, I am unbelieveably badly prepared. I have no boots - gulp. But I did go out and buy this today:

I bought it from the lovely Stanfords - it always makes me happy to buy from specialist shops like that. They offer a bespoke map printing service that can print even more detailed maps, which I probably would have down if we weren't leaving in three days.
