| Aggggges ago a few of us went Climbing |
| This is just visable as the journey there..... riddled with traffic-jams and sign's in welsh which amused me no-end.. I remember "Fish and Chips" was somethine terminally funny.... |
| Climbing in Wales.... |

| This is Wales... just below the Cribb Goch and Mount. Snowdon... You dont get the right sense of hight and length in these pictures.... |
| Herrre are we (Les and Ian of scoutmastery and Rob Knowles and Steve) walking up to Crib Goch... Rob seems to have a slight arial coming out of his head.... |
| That is one side of a small mound.... behind it, ten times bigger is Cribb Goch and then Snowdon a bit bigger... |
| This is the view of our hostel from a quarter of the way up Cribb Goch.... We're quite high and we've still got LOTS to go... The hostel is the white bock on the right.. |
| This is half way up Cribb Goch and that is a lake.... the hight was quite horrible/awe-inspiring for my virtigatious nature... |
| Right... lets try and get some sense of perspective. The rock in the middle-bottom of this picture is about 3 meters away... The lake in the far distance is about 10 miles away.... |
| That be Snowdon.... The thing we're on is the top of Cribb Goch. It was a ridge. This mean that there was a nearly virtical drop each side and you had to not fall and die. I crawled. |
| This is between Snowdon and Cribb Goch where we sat and ate. Rest was needed. |
| Here's another perspective-getting picture. That lake is closer but about 20,000 feet down... and that road is just before our Hostel.... |
| And here's me in the Hostel. You cant belive how tired i was. Think of the most tired you've ever been and then consentrate that into your legs and time 10... Thats nearly how tired i was.... |
| This was a range called the Glyders. We were headed to the top of Glyder Vach... |
| Here's Steven on the top. The Gylders are supposed to be the best view point in Wales.. and when we were there.... it was FOGGY. Fogpockets to the lot of them. |
| Here are the jagged peaks of the Glyder's... I didnt bother to go right to the top of them..... |
| These are stones... they looked good when i was there.... but Mother's camera made them borring... |
| Aaahhh... a little stream.... |
| The relief of walking on relatively flat ground.... |
| This is Tryfan as seen from the Glyders.... It's really tall and we did it last time.... Its got 2 big sticky-up rocks on top that you have to jump across to say you've properly climbed it.. BUgger that i said.. |
