All groups had started by 8.10am this morning. We had some sunshine for 5 minutes, very grateful of it!

It’s stopped raining, all have eaten a hot meal and are now settling down for the night.

All gold groups safely into the campsite by 6.50pm. 1 day to go.

Most of the groups are now in camp or very close. Close supervision required in deteriorating visibility.

On gold day 3 the groups are progressing well in worsening wet conditions.

Three groups climbing Snowdon today. They’re really sticking at it despite it being damp and quite chilly.

A challenging day on gold. Top effort.
