Rhodri and I got to go for a walk with just Bentley and without the kids. We went to a place in Snowdonia that translates to "the Black Ladders" and you can see why - big dark cliffs...

| There was a wild pony along the trail - she didn't seem too worried about us |

| Approaching the Black Ladders |

| We scrambled straight up to the top of the cliff (though not on a true ladder part) |
And then there was really some scrambling that we had to lift Bentley up in some parts. It was a little bit sketchy because of the terrible visibility and wind.
Once at the top, we were completely in cloud and so decided to not continue on our original loop walk we had planned but to come down "the easy way". This was a good decision, as it was really cold and windy with no hope of a view in any direction. It felt great to be out though, and of course we had all the right clothing on so we weren't cold.
Its always extra nice to get back in the car and have a cup of tea after being out in the elements for a long time. What a great day though! Thanks to the grandparents (Debi, Beryl and Trefor) for looking after the troops.
