A windy day in the hills today so it was a quick jaunt around Llyn Padarn this morning with some company near the Quarry Hospital.

Now that's what I call a high tide! This was taken this morning near Victoria Dock, Caernarfon.

I was down in the big smoke last week working for a public school. I was carrying out some Technical Advise work as well as running some in house assessments on the school climbing and abseiling towers. As usual, I received a very warm welcome and was very well looked after.

It was a tough ride around the mountains today with the cold being the biggest problem but, as well as that, there was a keen breeze against me from Capel Curig to Bethesda so it took a bit longer than anticipated. If the weather stays the same I think this may be the last long ride of the Winter :-( 

Just finished an ML training course with a 2 day camp in the Moelwynion. The hail, cold and strong winds were a bit of a challenge but, after an ascent of Cnicht, we managed to find some shelter from the NW winds near the top of Afon Cwm y Foel. The group were as enthusiastic as ever and were all fired up to consolidate skills and experience in the coming months. Well done team.

I started running an ML training course today based in Gerlan above Bethesda. We travelled over to Capel Curig and looked at micro navigation techniques around the Crimpiau area. It worked out to be a lovely day but it turned cold by the end of the day.
