winter, eye on the forecasts, winter enthusiasts, decent amount on snow, lots of ascents, BLOG!, Snowforecast.com etc, snow, Welsh Winter Climbing, MWIS

Image from Google ....that has been the question for me the last couple of weeks. And after several emails from winter enthusiasts requesting info on conditions & asking if I was going to blog, I have decided to BLOG! So winter has kind of kicked off in the mountains of Snowdonia, then seems to be fizzling out again as I type. Last weekend saw lots of ascents of easy mixed routes/ridges etc & a few gullies being done (although most out of desperation I think) There is still a decent amount on snow around higher up, but its

Image from Google I am something of a failure. There, I said it.

Image from Google Still nothing wintery going on in Snowdonia. There is a small amount of snow forecast over the weekend along with some very low temps on high ground, but nothing to get too excited about. Due to a shoulder injury I am just concentrating on MTBing & some mountain walking for the time being, in the hope that my shoulder will improve enough for a trip to Scotland in April for some winter climbing.
