Description

Leading a group of 9 for RAW Adventures http://www.raw-adventures.co.uk/
Assisted by Branwen McBride, looking to get some hints and tips!
Conditions were more blustery today, so the 30-40mph ENE wind meant that we chose NOT to head to Pen Y Pass, but instead ascend and descend the Llanberis Path. 7 of the group were related, raising money for Crohn`s Disease, Colitis and Macmillan charities. The remaining two were happy to walk with the group, which made it a superb day all round.
Some tired legs at the end of the day were eased slightly by our brief visit to Caffi Penceunant for "probably" the best hot chocolate in the world (confirmed!).
Thanks everyone!
