Ridge walking towards crib goch

[djbobbins]

I did Crib Goch a few years ago, although wasn't expecting to do so - a mate set up a weekend of "walking in Betws-y-Coed". What he didn't warn is that his brother, who was making the walking arrangements, does full on hiking like 2 weeks at a time in the Alps with all his kit.

 

We had just got to the top of the horseshoe when a Sea King started flying over - one of the walkers had got to the top and frozen at the prospect of the drops on either side of the path. Probably the only time I will have the chance to take photos of a Sea King at about 15m distance, from directly underneath.

 

Ace scenery but I was cream crackered at the end of the day. Came back the easy way down Snowdon and had a swim in one of the pools, gave the young lady onlookers something to admire!

 

Good to see the film clip to remind me of the day.
