Wet & Windy

It's been a fun August with us doing the 3 Peaks 24hr challenge in a mix of conditions on the first challenge we had perfect weather with great views from all the summits the sun was even out to greet on Ben Nevis.
Then on the second challenge we had it really tough with strongwinds and driving rain which made it really tough going but everyone completed the challenge.
We also had a Snowdon weekend starting off with a Scramble up Tryfan
North Ridge which always great fun again the conditions were a little gusty to say the least.
The next day our route was the Snowdon HorseShoe but typical of this summer the weather conditions
were not on our side as it was a little like monsoon season and we were made to take another route.
It must have been one of the wettest day i've ever had on Snowdon, we were
like drowned rats when we finllay reached the summit, thankfully the
cafe was open for a hot brew before heading back down compltety soaked must adimit it was a tough old day.
We have another Snowdon training weekend this week and the conditions are looking good.
Then it's time to look forward to our winter program with Toubkal looking very busy this year, lets hope we have a good winter like last year.
