Another from a truly memorable morning on the Snowdon Horseshoe. This was the view from part way up the climb up to the start of the Crib Goch ridge, looking straight down to Llyn Teryn with a section of the Miner's Track to its right. In the distance you can see Cnicht, the 'Welsh Matterhorn' - though it doesn't look like it from this angle. When I set off that morning the sky was cloudless, but as I climbed up the clouds moved in quite spectacularly, and wreathed the hills in turbulent mist. I got the best of the conditions early on, and it made for a really special day.

A truly memorable morning on the Snowdon Horseshoe. This was the four shot panoramic view from near the top of the climb up to the start of the Crib Goch ridge, looking straight down to the Bwlch y Moch where you can make out the Pyg track crossing the ridge line. Down to the left is the Pass of Llanberis, and you can just make out a white coach making its way up to the top of the pass - Pen y Pass. Rising above the pass to the left is Glyder Fawr with it's head in the clouds, and a little to the right is Gyder Fach. In the right centre of the image in the distance you can see part of Moel Siabod, it's summit obscured by the near cloud. In the lower centre right is crags of Carreg Gwalch rising above the Llyn Teryn (the smaller lake) and finally part of Llyn Llydaw can be seen bottom right. When I set off that morning the sky was cloudless, but as I climbed up the clouds moved in quite spectacularly, and wreathed the hills in turbulent mist. Unfortunately I could not get the shot I came for - the view along the Crib Goch to the summit of Yr Wyddfa - as heavy cloud settled over the summit for the whole day. Although the cloud lifted from most of the mountain in the afternoon, I got the best of the conditions early on, and the it made for a really special day.

Early morning on the famous Snowdon Horseshoe. This was taken on the climb up to the Crib Goch, looking across Cwm Dyli and Llyn Llydaw to the twin peaks and cliffs of Y Lliwedd. The early morning was the best of the day, the clouds rolled in and covered the top of Snowdon in a thick cold blanket - but it was good to be up there again!
