Day 19, 1st July 2007

Had an absolutely filthy day crossing the Moelwyns today. We had planned to camp wild a few miles short of Cnicht and tomorrow, climb Cnicht and then drop down to Beddgelert.
We had pretty heavy rain and gusting winds that actually knocked poor (skinny) Pete off his feet a couple of times. We dedided to skirt Moelwym Mawr and drop down the pass just north of the 770m peak.
I haven't seen weather like that since Cairngorm about 20 years ago!
Once we dropped out of the cloud the waterproofs came off and we have not had rain since.
We are in the fantastic FE campsite in Beddgelert and my tuna spog' is in the cozy, we have tumble driers on site and the world is a better place.
We are now a day ahead of schedule, so we are going to explore the Aberglaslyn Pass tomorrow and have a day hiking around the area around the town.
Pete had a bit of a tough 1st day - I had totally forgotten about aching shoulders!
