Failed Weekend?

With a total of only 10 hours sleep over Wednesday and Thursday nights, due to work, Will and I set off to attempt the Welsh 3000s on friday night.
After, a wet and very windy night, sleeping in the porch of the summit cafe on Snowdon, we set off at 8am on Saturday morning.


We stopped for breakfast at the Pen Y Pass cafe - top fry up and fun service!
Then it was of down the pass


The day brought rain, high wind, hail the size of peas and rest bite at times (but never from the wind).
We plodded along spending 30 minutes sleeping under the canopy of a toilet block before starting the accent of the second section.
Although we were both still going strong tiredness took me out and we had to escape into the land of nod for a few hours.
After 10 summits we descended for hot chocolate and buttys!
Home came after McDonalds and a sleep in Asda’s carpark.
We will be back to kick it into submission next summer.
