Firstly, congratulations to the KMC, the hut was immaculate.

Solitary occupant Friday night, so set out for a solo walk on Saturday to Snowdon via Moel Eilio, Foels Grach and Gron etc but turned back in a storm of very cold rain on Cloggy - the tail end of Hurricane Billy I believe. The same storm caught Scott and Dave on the Glyders, Mark and Jo on the Mot (the Cracks), Steve and Mike on Merlin.

Sunday was another damp day. Steve and Mike went off cycling at Dolgellau, Ann to walk the Clwyddians, Scott and Dave completed the Moel Eilio /Snowdon traverse, Julie and Fluff, Jo and Mark and myself did various local interest walks. Once again the drying room was on overtime! - but how did Fluff manage to keep his arm plaster dry?

The prize for the best equipped must go to Jo and Mark who brought their canoes.

Just to round off there was a hazardous weather warning for the drive home!

Climbers will, as usual do their own thing but if they would like to evade the Bank Holiday crowds I could suggest a few crags not likely to be busy.

Walkers - a chance to do some end to end walking based on the hut with transport provided. For example, Beddgelert to the hut, Pen y Gwryd to the hut, or either in reverse. Or any other suggestions? 'phone me to arrange.

I have 2 or 3 other walks suitable for fellow geriatrics!
