A week in North Wales

After Wasdale, P and I headed off to North Wales in the van for a week. We made the most of the permanent sunshine (!) on the Great Orme, climbing at Pen Trwyn for 4 days. Nearly managed to get Contusion (6c) but the final move to the belay thwarted me! We had one afternoon downstairs before the tides became too inconvenient.

We also had a couple of days mountain biking when it was wet, one at Coed-y-Brenin and one at Gwydyr. What striked me about both is that they still have long fire road climbs and no single track climbs unlike the 7 Stanes routes. Not sure they give you the views that they say and sell these 'sociable' climbs as!

A great week revisiting old haunts!
