Capel Curig 11/10/09 Hike Report

Overview
Not a great day. The weather was some of the worst wind and rain I've seen. Most groups had a helping of bad luck on top of this, especially hike 3 which was perhaps a bit too long. The day also reminded us of the need to describe the terrain underfoot, as some people had trouble with it even though it wasn't scrambling or suchlike. Hike 4 did enjoy themselves though!

An error with The List resulted in more problems at the end of the day, due to an imaginary missing hiker.
