Felinheli and Back

 I left home at high water yesterday morning on a flat calm sea and with no wind. I motored to Beaumaris where the wind picked up and I sailed down to Menai Bridge. The main aim of the day was to navigate the Swellies at low water so I sat on a mooring bouy for half an hour to get the tide right. Neap tides and the high pressure system meant a tranquil ride through. By the time I reached Felinheli I was scotched so a couple of hours in the pub was justified 😀 A lovely sea breeze got me most of the way home where I picked up a couple of hitch hikers 😂

 Another beautiful summers day in the mountains. We were joined by Huw and split into a couple of teams. I roped up with Julia and Claire and we enjoyed some lovely scrambling in Cwm Idwal - there might even have been a swim this afternoon 😀

Teaching winter mountaineering

Teaching winter mountaineering today with Fabio and Mark. It’s been a bit more blustery than of late so we stayed lower and got them on the sharp end in ascent and descent. Bit of a turbo thaw coming in tomorrow but a great start to winter. Fancy joining us for more of this? Check out Expeditionguide.com for our full winter programme.
