Route : Snowdon via miners track and pyg track
Well after a few days of weather watching I decided to heading up to Snowdon with Mike from the club. We left Pen y Pass at 10.00 and headed up the Miners track in beautiful blue sky and sunshine. With snow straight out of the car and the views opening up as we walked further into the horseshoe, the snow was a soft powder but slightly consolidated on the track. Off of the track the drifts were often knee or waist deep.
