North Wales, Easter 2013 --------Picture heavy

[Imagedude]

Went for a short walk today, nothing too taxing.

Snow improves the slate tips

Moel Eilio, today's hill

Snowboarder on a surf board!

The way up

Enjoying the fab weather

Frozen fence

Frozen style at about 2000'

Some old duffer using walking poles

Windslab and powder snow

Snowdon

The gift that keeps on giving...

Nantlle Ridge, tomorrow's destination (if I can find somewhere to park)

Inside the summit shelter

Outside of shelter

More frozen fence

No prizes for guessing wind direction

Down at sea level it's like a spring day, can you spot Caernarfon Castle?

The sheltered side of the shelter - no ice formation!

Shelter with Snowdon in the background

On the way down, style and dog

Hello dog

Don't think that road will be getting used any time soon...

Must buy me a decent camera with a proper viewfinder so I can frame photos properly, those LCD viewfinders are useless in bright conditions.

Superb pictures ! Just getting my kit together to go up there tomorrow, so a bit of a coincidence for me to see pictures tonight. I only live about a mile away from the start of the walk.
Drove to Llanrwst today through the Ogwen valley as the Llanberis Pass is still closed and couldnt believe the amount of ice on the hills.
