Lord Hereford's Knob
A mini wild camp with Erinna on Twmpa just over the Welsh border. We weren't expecting the snow.

A dusting of white on the tops
Gave Pinnacle Ridge snowy rocks
The crux was so steep
Photogenic, yet bleak
Chilly hands and big smiles when it stopped!

In the sunshine it wasn't so bad!
Jizerka, Czech Republic
Czech Ski Touring
Anna and Jon hosted us in the Czech Republic for a weekend of cross-country skiing. Unlike in the UK right now, there is no shortage of snow out there, with powder more than a metre deep just off of the groomed tracks! Great fun, although our technique needs some serious work.
Cadair Idris, Wales
Cadair
One last day out before 2017 rolls in! A damp, misty ascent of Cadair Idris. Beautiful, panoramic views below the clouds. Terrible views within them.
Cywarch, North Wales
Will 'o the Wisp
Proclaimed in the guidebook as "one of the all-time Mid Wales classic routes", we found the crag at Craig Cywarch in a rather damp, vegetated condition. Undeterred, and hoping never to need return to this Classic Rock destination, we set off of a team ascent and were pleased to see the route improve considerably after the first, dripping pitch. Overall it was a rather cold day, clearly illustrated by the chilling temperature inversion in the valley below.
