Horned Crag Route on Lleiwdd, then on over Snowdon and back off the side near Clogwyn station to campsite at Nant Peris. Oh my god how many people were there on Snowdon? Must have been ~500 people within 100m of the summit any many 100s more on the way up or down. Unbelievable - there are so many nice mountains to go at, and all of them more peaceful than Snowdon, and it was in cloud at the top anyway so it makes no difference which you go up. Why? I guess it keeps the rest of the hills quiet for everyone else.

In Snowdonia for the weekend with Pippa. Rock climbing. Nothing too hard (she has a sore shoulder), various multi-pitch VDiffs and some walking. Bit showery today around the big mountains, so we climbed on Craig yr Ogof a bit out west of Snowdon on the Natlle Ridge.

Steady with Peter up past Frankland Prison, Finchdale Priory, over the river, and bank through Kepier Woods. Nice evening run, good pace, and some nice ducking and diving round the tree roots and bushes on the way back down the riverbank. Legs were completely dead though when I left Peter and had to run back up the hill to Gilesgate and almost ground to a halt!

Hill reps on middle hill in Houghall Woods. 3 sets of 25/50/75/100/100/75/50/25s hills, same recovery as rep, 5 mins between sets. Good session, feeling pretty tired by the end!

Core exercises.

Steady run, Bear Park, and over to Broompark and back via Neville's Cross, and river.
