Waiting For The Rain To Pass In Ogwen

Lena coming up The Direct Start, on Idwal Slabs

Lena wanted to use her new Ogwen guide book, so we parked up, but had to wait a while foir the rain to stop. We eventually started walking in almost a rain free sky by late afternoon. Everybody else seemed to be getting back to their cars drenched, and peeling off sodden layers, dripping into their cars. We'd thankfully avoided that fun. By the time we got the Idwal Slabs they were almost perfectly dry, and the Direct Start is always a fun way to start. Lena then led up Tennis Shoe which was dry by that time. It was now early evening and we'd lost our psyche for the Upper Walls..
