Today we started out a new era of adventure. After buying hiking boots for the kids yesterday in town, we took to the hills today. Both Tryfan and Rhiannon decided that we haven't been doing enough outdoor adventures of late, so we figured today was a good day to turn over a new leaf.
It was a stunning day, though a bit hazy at first. We climbed up to Llyn Idwal and then instead of just walking around the lake as we had initially planned, we went up over the little ridge into the cwm at the base of Y Garn.
There was increasing amounts of snow and ice on the path as we climbed up, but it wasn't enough to make us turn around. We just were extra careful.

On the way home we stopped in Llanberis to visit the V12 climbing shop so Rhods could speak with Bertie (the owner). Then we went home for a cup of tea and cake. Yay! A great day in the hills of Snowdonia.
