i'm in A+E at the moment........Word of warning turns out the dyson Ball cleaner, isn't what you think it is!!!!!!!!!!

Any way, as it was the wifes birthday and we hadn't done snowdon for a couple of years we decided to walk it, started up the Pyg track with the intention od doing Crib Goch (the ridge) but when we got to the stile that splits the track we decided to carry on the pyg as the cloud and mist had come in and visibilty on the top 500m means we couldn't even see the ridge.

fantastic clear views, although cloudy.
for those that know the Pyg track , where the miners track comes in from the left from there in we were walking in the mist with visibility down to about 100metres.

when we did get to the top the cloud was even lower, so after abrief stop some misty, cloudy photo's we started to make our way back, but this time going down the miners track, which again we walked out into clear, if cloudy weather.

At this point we saw some purple smoke blow up from near one of the lakes, then a thudding sound and proceeded to watch the army with a merlin helicopter practise landings and take offs on various ridges around the valley so we stood and watched/filmed for about 20mins with the heli crews giving us a wave.

carried on down the miners track back to the car for a coffee and some chocloate birthday cake.

2 hrs 10 to get up, and despite the stop for heli viewing 2hrs 10 down!!.

started at 9 back to the car for 2.30, then off to betswy coed for food, mooch round the shops and back home for 6.

great day out
