Buisness end of the day. . .

Saturday afternoon. . . 

. . . and evening!!


Arrived at 2nd (real) peak at 2:20pm. Foel Grach, 976m.



Arrived at 3rd peak at 3:00pm. Yr Elen, 962m.



Arrived at 4th peak at 3:51pm. Carnedd Llewelyn, 1064m.



Arrived at 5th peak at 4:45pm. Carnedd Dafydd, 1044m.



Arrived at 6th peak at 6:32pm. Pen yr Ole Wen, 974m.




Arrived at the car at 8:45pm mental!!!   Over 2 hours to get down from the last peak to the road. We're all in agony, groins, knees, blisters, the lot!

What a day though! Pushed our self really hard, probably too hard really, today was supposed to be the easiest day! Covered the most miles but the hard climbs and scrambles are still to come! 

Got photos of us all at each peak and managed to loose Me tripod inbetween 4 and 5! Damn means I have to balance the camera on rocks, pitching it against the wind!

Got back to the hostel at around 9:30pm and started to cook tea! Bangers and mash!! So just sitting in the lounge of the hostel now with Legs waiting fir the taties to boil!! 

It's been an awesome day, really good crack, laughed all day from start to finish and a massive achievement as we've done 7 out of the 15 peaks or 6 out of the 14 if we're not counting the false peak. I am by the way!!
