Back in the summer, we decided to climb Snowdon, as the Foster Childs hadn't done a mountain yet, and we hadn't climbed it in about four years. We had the new camera too now, and some nice panoramic shots from the summit would be a possibility, so (in a week of bad weather) we picked the day where the clouds were forecast to clear by 10am, hit the car park at half 6, and started up the mountain...
By 9.45am, we realised the clouds were not going to clear... Still, onward and upward.
The clouds might have stifled the intention for landscape shooting, but we did manage some transport shots on the Mountain Railway in the slightly spooky atmosphere.
Given the Summit Café was like Piccadilly Circus, we stayed only as long as it took to warm back up a bit with a brew, then headed back down...
Dropping back down out of the clouds...
The paths got a bit quieter on the way back down to the Miners Track.
Even by mid afternoon, the cloud hadn't moved off the summit...
Well, it wasn't quite the day we'd hoped, and the lighting wasn't terrific for landscape photography, but the shots of the trains in the clouds were alright, and more importantly, we had a day of healthy exercise up there. Will have to go back another day in better weather...
