A lazy start as the urge to scale a proper mountain set in. First of all needed to get something other than Etne's for junior, so parted rather sadly with my money as he's likely to grow out of them in a fortnight and off we set off from Ogwen Cottage up the Glyders. I spotted a couple of runners limbering up and felt some sense of "can't I run too" but these days of sun and family and mountains are not to be wished away.
We lunched at a tarn, went off path under my "expert" direction (must use reading glasses when map reading in future), did some tough scree/scrambly climbing and eventually topped out on the Glyder Ridge where we found the sun and the wind.
The promise of Pete's Eats (and my comment it might shut early this time of year) propelled the valliant crew down to the car and off to Llanberis for the legendary in the Mackem's household Pete's Eats for a pints of coffee, tea, milk shake, large plates of carbohydrate and the Juke Box. A fine end to a fine day
