Winter is Back!!

The mountains are looking wintery again although the snowline in Snowdonia is rising and falling like a yo-yo. Not quite as consistent as in Scotland or the Lake District. Meanwhile this week is due to be cold (but unfortunately dry which means the Welsh snowline will stay high. See this link from the Met Office. http://metofficenews.wordpress.com/2012/12/07/the-meteorology-behind-the-beast-from-the-east/
  
Both Scotland and the Lake District have already seen avalanches in the Mountains.

Steve and I should have been in Morocco this last week but unfortunately I have had a savage chest and sinus infection which put pay to my dreams of Mount Toubqal and high altitude this week! I have struggled on the flat!

Our calendar is filling up nicely for 2013. We have a lot of courses advertised so it you are needing a First Aid for the Mountains or Outdoors, of looking for a Mountain Leader or Walking Group Leader Qualification or Training, get in touch.
