Part of our Christmas Training Walk week that Jacquie had organised! We drove to the Beacon Beacons in the snow - got to the Corn Du car park and it was snowing hard - had a team meeting should we go or should we return? No we're warriors - we went - me, Angie, Jacquie, Jan, and Di - It was slippery and in blizzard conditions -it was cold, very very cold! However there were surprising quite a few hardnened walkers doing it! We were 3/4's up the pass to Corn Du/Pen-y-Fan almost being blown backwards and visability extremely poor when we were told by some walking coming back down that it was too treacherous to go any further as the weather conditions were too poor, so we decided to go back down the track and be sensible for a change. We should have had a sledge as it would have been easier, we all slipped and fell a few times, but got back down safely! Decided we deserved a drink at the hotel down the road and nearly stayed there!!! It was so picturesque! Great experience for Kili due to the extreme weather conditions and we know we can do it now (I hope anyway).
