As requested a landscape day.

Date: Sun 16th March 2008 - MOUNTAINS - Landscapes in the Rain ... where better Snowdonia - at least we are nearly certain of rain!.

Sunrise is at 06.18 and sunset is at 18.13

Early Meet: Car Park @ Pen-y-benglog - pay and display @ 6am

Lunch Meet: Pete's Eats in Llanberis @ 12 noon (don't leave your cameras in the car)

I ( and you if you follow me) will be walking on Mountain Tracks so please come prepared with sturdy footwear, waterproofs and munchies.

On this occassion I have to ask that you definately show your intent to attend by Wednesday the 12th at the latest, as it is a long way to drive.

Hello Tom.

I was unable to make this date a week ago, but that as now changed so I will becoming. Out of intreast which mountian trails are you thinking of going on, and what distance so I can decide on what to bring.

Guy, just the Devils Cauldren in the morning (if the weather is good may go up the stairs) - after we try and get Tryfan in the morning sunrise

. The round trip is about 1.5 hours then stops...

Then pete's eats, then, I'm open to suggestions dependant on the weather - if really grey, the old slate mines at the back of Llanberis are atmospheric.
