17th November 2007 to 15th November 2007

CUHWC trip to the Ogwen Valley in Snowdonia. On Saturday, we scrambled up Glyder Fach (grade 2 or 3; enjoying the dry period in the morning) and then continued to Glyder Fawr, Y Garn and Elidir Fawr. Everyone then enjoyed an incredibly sociable evening in the bunkhouse - including, amongst other things, an in promptu ceilidh! On Sunday, we scrambled up Tryfan via Milestone Gully and the North Ridge, then drove home in the snow!!!
