Dave & Fiona on the walk from Ogwen to Craig Yr Ysfa Sunday’s weather wasn’t quite as sunny as forecast, but that wasn’t gonna get in the way of our planned adventure up to Craig Yr Ysfa to show Dave & Fiona up the awesome mountaineering classic – Amphitheatre Buttress… We started late, so we …
The joint CC, FRCC bank holiday meet at Ynys Ettws was a great social event. But sadly only two FRCC members (who are also CC members) turned up. A good job the CC made a better contribution π … We enjoyed Saturday at Carreg Wastad, just opposite the hut, allowing a rapid descent to ply …
