Llanberis. Brutal. Need I say more..?
Well I suppose I must, so here is a bit of a photo blog. There was a sense of foreboding on social media in the days before, given the weather forecast as the weekend approached. I popped up to Hatchmere for a quick roll call of the early leavers there, and was greeted by a bunch […]

Llanberis 2016 – update

M&DTTA Christmas 10 – 2015
Not a WVCC event, but an event organised by our own Mr Fearon, and always a bit of festive fun. The highlight of the event is the fancy dress, and those who enter into this spirit really go to town on their outfits. It was a cold, wet day as I stood shivering at Allostock, […]
