I had a trip to snowdonia national park, north wales for 4 days.
Climbed a few mountains, had a good time.
Here are some pics, you have to agree the scenery is breath taking.

Odd thing is, in some places it was -10c in fog, others it was like +15c in the sun, this is caused by a temperature inversion, causes there to be low lying cloud and fog, completley clear at a certain cut point.

Sumit of mt snowdon.



Frozen lake (glas llyn).

Enetering the fog.
Last year when i went you couldn't see a damn thing from about 1/2 the way up, i'm glad i got such good views.
 
Those pics look very nice! Where is that? EDITNESS: Must read post.
 
Wow thats brilliant, i miss Wales, i was there last year twice in pembrokeshire and the coastlines were fantastic. Looks like you had a great time, the fog under you is amazing to look down on, walking through it must be a challenge :)
 
When i last climbed Snowdon we didnt get all the fog (which looks very beautiful BTW), just nice clear views.
 
I LOVE HIKING/CAMPING/BACKPACKING! Hehehe, btw I love your new avatar Recoil
 
Trust me, you don't get used to the cold being here all year.

****ing wales.

Sounds like beddgelert, it's all nice there.
 
thats the place!, tis beautiful... lots of welsh people tho :O
 
Educate the American kid, whats wrong w/ welsh people?
 
Very fun!

Love those pics. Mountain climbing is always great then waking up in the morning and seeing clouds below ya. Granted its a lot of work but its worth it!
 
Incredible pictures!

I'm ashamed to say, living only 40 mins drive from Snowdon, that I've never climbed it

Something I need to do this year though...

urm , they live often around fields of sheep, speak welsh, and often play rugby in the rain and cold.

I love welsh people really.
 
Is that where you met the Council of Gods, to discuss your role in modern society?

The 'thing' with us Welshies is that we are constant Sheep Shaggers! :D

No, thankfully.

Besides. Welsh are awesome, they contributed to history the Longbow.
