After a week of glorious sunshine we set out on Friday evening towards Wales, and sure enough the heavens opened ! Oh well, if it rains all Friday evening at least it might not rain on Saturday (always the optimist). Me and Vinny arrived at the hut along with Mick a friend of mine who, by the way is looking for people who can climb at strange times, or was it strange people who can climb, anyway back to the original story. Chris and Julie arrived late Friday night so after tea and a chat we retired ready to rise early to apply the suntan lotion the following day!

Did I say suntan lotion, no chance, the rain was intermittent and heavy for most of the day and the wind was fairly strong however, Chris and Julie did Clogwyn Y Person Arête, Mick did Y Garn and me and Vinny went up Moel Siabod.

On returning to the hut the majority of people had arrived and Fergus was setting up a slide show of his travels in Sri Lanka and India, Anne, Al and the Maplesons went for an evening climb in the slate quarries and all was well with the world.

Sunday morning greeted us with more rain and the prospect of horse riding, we must be mad I kept telling myself as we drove to the stables with the windscreen wipers going full pelt!! As it was things turned out well, the rain kept off for most of the ride. Julie ended up with a nutty horse called Blossom who had two speeds, stop and flat out! the rest of us were on much more sedate animals (the rest being Chris, Vinny and the Maplesons).

There was a selection of mountain biking, climbing and walking done in addition to the horse riding, thanks to everyone who turned up and I will try and arrange better weather next time.

Saturday, a glorious day climbing in the Pass, many classics ranging from, V DIff to Dead 'Ard with load of stars. Followed by vats amounts of Alcohoool and socialising. On Sunday there Vil Be a Two hour horse ride in the beautiful Snowdonia National Park, The riding is local to the Hut. Please see me in the pub to book places.
