Tal y Fan

Peaks: Tal y Fan
Area: Carneddau, Eryri
With a plan to run the virtual half marathon champs tomorrow, and the Lakes trip in my legs, a short outing made sense today. So I drove all the way to Bwlch y Ddaefaen in diabolical conditions - 45mph winds and torrential rain, with the road running with water and all streams in spate. I didn't hang around, ploughing down the road then taking the direct route to the summit from the style. I had a bit of a tailwind, but this was negated by the saturated nature of the ground, with much running water. I got to the trig in 13 minutes, not too bad in the circumstances. Strong gusts saw me scurrying back down to the car.
