Snowdon Sept 2001 Trip Report

Sunday 23rd September 2001

Another day where the weather turned out beter than forecast. We set of from Manchester under overcast skies but by the time we got out into Wales the only bit of cloud to be seen was sat on top of Snowdon! Hikes 1 and 2 arrived on top of Snowdon on top of the cloud. This cleared from time to time to give bright sunshine and spectacular views in all directions and to top it all, a brokenspectre. This phenomena appears when you're shadow falls on cloud, giving the shadow a rainbow type 'halo'. The largest group, hike 3 climbed Moel Ellio and reported fine views in all directions.
