Tal y Fan

Peaks: Tal y Fan
Area: Carneddau
After a week in the sunshine of Tunisia (and Sussex!) an Easter break in Conwy started wet and windy. But prospects seemed brighter this morning, and E was intent on a trip to Snowdonia. The weather was clearly awful in the centre of the park, but although it stayed cold throughout this was a lovely walk up Tal y Fan in great conditions of sunburst and light showers, the light ever changing. E wanted to see ravens, and we got two right on the summit. This was her first ever Snowdonian peak, although M went up Tal y Fan in my backpack aged 2 months! A lovely run round the Conwy half marathon course later in the afternoon: superb clarity of light for the sea views round the Orme, although a head wind and unpleasant squally hail shower made life uncomfortable on the return leg back to Conwy via the West Shore.
