Waun y Llyn run

A hugely enjoyable run from the house to the top of Waun y Llyn through a landscape utterly transformed by the snow. A regular run of mine, made memorable by the conditions. The lanes were all hard snow-pack, very icy but runnable in fell shoes, then steeply up to the summit as the sun set. Never thought I would experience alpenglow on Hope Mountain, but I did today. Then along the ridge, the drifting snow lit orange by the setting sun, to an icy and dark descent back to HK. Running my regular 10k circuit at the height of the snowstorm on Tuesday evening was equally memorable!
