Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 2

On Wednesday working for West Coast Mountain Guides I met members of the Harry Potter Fan Club. The 350 fans were from most of the states of USA, and they were here this week to go to the First Showing of Film 7 - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 at midnight on Thursday night. On Wednesday one of their excursions was to see various locations for the filming. They started in Glen Nevis looking at the site of the Quidditch Pitch - shown below.

Scrambling In North Wales

I finished my Outward Bound course at the end of Friday and managed to get to North Wales to start my scrambling course on Saturday. I met up with Robert, Annie and Hein, and we started with the West Face of Tryfan leading to the North Ridge. Above I'm clearly having a tough day at work jumping from Eve to Adam. The team had a great time and wanted something slightly harder for day 2.

On day 2 we enjoyed a day around, on and above Idwal slabs and Cwm Cneifion.

On day three we were back on the West Face of Tryfan before crossing to the East face for a Bastow Buttress variant and then back down the North Ridge. At the end they were happy and felt challenged - ready for the afternoon/evening drive back to London - where life starts again... (And I made my way back to Fort William ready to meet the Harry Potter fan club!)
