Snowdon makes it into the news ....... again.

Normally stories like the ones below make it round the village of Llanberis quite quickly, seemingly there is something making the news from the mountain every week. It often seems to be charity walking groups making the headlines for the wrong reasons causing as much trouble as the good they planned to do. This is often because they lack any significant mountain experience or leadership and more often than not, in my experience of working with these groups, being very poorly equipped.

This weekend I was not at home in the village to hear any stories first hand but read them in the Sunday Telegraph on the ferry from the Isle of Man on the way home from my brother’s wedding, Pictures and details of the wedding to follow shortly.
