Fire and Ice Denali 08

All done!!

Kev Griffiths and I did the Snowdon Horseshoe yesterday. Left Newcastle at 0400hrs and started walking at 0632hrs. Temperature was -8c. Sun came up after about an hour and there was a beautiful low cloud and sun rise above it. Rock was generally very dry but some strong cold wind at times.

Hit the top of Snowdon at around 0945hrs. Had to hang on to the viewpoint post to prevent getting blown off. Completed the horseshoe at 1240hrs in a total time of 6hours and 8 minutes. Superb sunny dry day but rather cold.Could not ask for better weather really at this time of year.

The only problem was a stumble by Kev who seems to have done some damage to his ankle and knee. Hope it soon improves.

I have now completed all four challenges done, Kev has one more to do!

Feeling good.
