Climbing and other such chatter

A two day jolly in Snowdon. Stayed at the awesome Glen Aber Hotel in Betws-y-Coed. Day 1 we climbed Crib Goch through Carnedd Ugain and to the Snowdon Summit and descended via Y Lliwedd - “The Snowdon Horseshoe”. Day 2 was a very quick ascent of Tryfan and a dash to London.

I’ve just stumbled across this little gem. When the cartographers aren’t playing with their spatial data and apps they map other planets!
