Little Sara rang me up on Sunday evening to tell me that her father had been out on Pen Y Fan that day and had encountered "genuine winter conditions". I was a little sceptical but telephoned Dingo to give him the info. Well Dingo and Kathryn had been out that day too and had encountered similar. We made tentative plans! Anyway, off we went today! Dingo Kathryn, Steve Miles and myself. As was the case last year around this time (when Steve Tree and I went looking), much of the snow had disappeared. One or two of the gullies had a little ice, but nothing to get excited about! In the end we re-traced Steve and my trip from last year! Tried out for the first time my new Montane jacket! Worked well at around 0 degrees C. Mind you had I been going up hill a lot I think I would have overheated somewhat! Pints afterwards in the Tafarn Y Garreg! Trip lined up in N. Wales just before New Year!
