Peaks: Foel Dduarth, Foel Ganol, Yr Orsedd, Pen Bryn Du, Drum
An old injury reared its ugly head during a slushy run up Waun y Llyn from HK with Jez on Monday. It looks like the IT band problems, last suffered almost three years ago, have come back - perhaps as a result of recent road running on hard ice/snow with uncushioned trail shoes. After a complete rest yesterday, I thought this gentle walk with Rich and Mike would be a good way to test it. I felt fine on the steep pull up Foel Dduarth from Aber, interested in how rapid the thaw has been since our Christmas Eve outing (given that the Aber road was impassable even before the bulk of the snow last Tuesday). It was very mild for the lovely ridge over Yr Orsedd to the Drum track, where it clouded over with some drizzle. A few drifts remained. After tea on Drum, we descended to Llyn Anafon in a partial cloud inversion, with my knee starting to play up. The descent down Cwm Anafon to Aber was really quite painful, enlivened only by some avalanche debris below the lake, and I finished the day rather worried about the injury.
