Best year was 4 years ago, I’d had my border collie pup for 4 weeks and he was allowed out for the first time. We got up early, went for a cold walk up Moel Hebog through the clouds and popped out above them to the best cloud inversion I’ve seen in North Wales – Beddgelert village was completely covered in a blanket of cloud while most people still slept.
Went over Ogof and Lefin, and back home via Beddgelert forest. Had some lunch and took my pup to the beach for his first outing – best Xmas ever.
The last two years have been an early walk in the Brecon Beacons in about 2 foot of the best virgin snow with the dogs and the missus, solar auras, blue skies, practicing ice axe arrests, generally playing the in snow, throwing the dogs in the drifts, no one else around…. pretty amazing.
Not sure how to top those days this year…
