Sunday morning dawned grey but dry in Snowdonia, and I drove from Beddgelert up to RAC Boulders near Capel Curig. Having left my guide at home and not having room in the car for my mat, I wasn’t expecting to be tackling any massively difficult problems (not that I normally do anyway!). I was also spotter-less, so decided I probably shouldn’t be too daring. Fortunately there’s plenty to play about on, and everything looked distinctly more friendly than last time I was there about 18 months ago.

After about an hour it started raining, but it was nice to get out bright and early, and good to be reminded that perhaps I should consider something other than scrambling next time we head across for the weekend.
