Heavy over night rain fell as snow over the highest peaks. Combined with the gale that's still blowing over the uplands it all added up to a pretty wild ascent of Snowdon for Andrew, Heather and myself. By coming up the Miners Track we kept sheltered from the worst of the westerlies and only had to expose ourselves for the final pull up from the finger stone. The roar of the wind grew louder as we neared the end of the zigzags and suitably attired we poked our heads over the ridge and made a dash for the summit. The thawing snow made for a slippery descent but I suppose this added to a memorable day out on the hill for my two companions.
