Half a horseshoe!

I travelled over to Wales on Thursday night to have a go at the Snowden Horseshoe early Friday morning.  The sun was setting as i arrived and the clear sky looked a good sign for the following day.
0530 I set off and as expected the weather was exceptional even up on the very windy summit it was warm enough for just shorts and T shirt.
I started on the miners track and then went to the summit up the more arduous route to the left of Llyn Llydaw lake, well it was meant to be a training walk!
I'm calling this entry "half a horsehoe" as Crib Goch is part and parcel of the horseshoe but i came back down using the whole of the miners track.  I will be up on Crib Goch in a few weeks time on the Welsh 15 Peaks Challenge.  Here's hoping the weather then is as kind as it was yesterday
