Ty Powder Working Meet
Attendees: Ian McCallan, Dave Wylie, John Castick, Kirsten, Annie, Hecla the hound, and Me.
Arriving at midnight Friday I surprised to see cars queing at the first gate. An amazing turn out for the KMC; could it be a resurgence in enthusiasm for all things Hutty?
But no... an administrative error meant that the WP inadvertently coincided with the Croydon Mountaineering Club annual dinner... woops... 18 of them. However, they were very understanding and although the extensive cleaning of the kitchen was curtailed lots of important work was completed. A special thanks to Dave who balanced on the apex of the roof for most of a rather cold and windy afternoon.
As the CMC annual dinner took over the kitchen Saturday night was spent at Pete's Eats followed by scrabble and drinks back at the hut.

Sunday
A splendid hill day: Dave Wylie and Kirsten drove over to Ogwen to do Tyrfan North ridge and Bristly ridge; Helca and I hitched a lift and ran / walked up the Devils Kitchen over Y Garn over the tops and back to the hut.
Annie remained at the hut and John gave the Gorse a damn good thrashing.
An excellent weekend, lots of work done in good company.
