Welsh whiteout

No long run or BG recce this weekend, but a walking trip to Wales. As it turns out, this was not the time to have gone to Cumbria anyway as the whole country was in a blizzard and The Lakes affected particularly badly. There'll be no running on those tops for now. Wales saw planty of snow too: I almost had to spend the night stuck on a high road in mid Wales behind a queue of stranded traffic and an impassable road but was fortunate to escape, take a long loop round and end up at the digs in Barmouth, which was not the original destination which was a bunkhouse in Bethesda which was cut off without electricity in the weather. I was grateful for a warm home and a bed for the night! After all that, we decided the walking should be cautious and mid level, so on Saturday we walked in the foothills of Cader Idris, clocking up 18 miles and being thoroughly blasted by the raw winds. Sunday's walk took us around 8 miles near Llyn Mwyngl, Bird Rock, Castel Y Bere, and Mary Jones's cottage. Back to the running tomorrow.
