Final climb up a mountain for a while

22nd September was a lovely day, an early frost and clear skies. A drive from England over the border to Wales and crossing the county boundary into Conwy I was greeted with the magnificent sight of the mountains, The Carneddau, The Glyderau, The Snowdon Horseshoe. It was going to be a fine day, walking the Snowdon Ranger Path to the summit of Yr Wyddfa, Snowdon, supervising two groups of Explorer Scouts who were to be invested on the summit by their Leader.

What a great day to be blessed with good weather for my last venture onto the hill before the operation in two weeks. Hopefully I will be back on these magnificent hills for Christmas or January.

The day went very well, both groups and a group of parents all got up the mountain and back down again safely. I had a pleasure of walking down the mountain with Explorer Leader Amanda who went up on the train as she was recovering from knee surgery . She took the opportunity to walk down the mountain on her crutches - 3 hours of hard work and bravery. She was inspiring.
