We drove from Cumbria to North Wales as early as we could manage Saturday morning to get at least one good route in before the Climbers Club's Welsh dinner. The sun was fully out and there was no wind - a glorious day - so we headed over to South Stack on Anglesey...
My mum and dad came to visit this weekend and as the forecast was reasonable (not raining) we decided to take a trip to Leighton Moss to check out the birds. Pete was excited, and then he realised we'd be looking at the feathered variety...
We came home from North Wales last night. The forecast wasn't great, so we decided that not so great weather at home was better than not so great weather in Wales. Very tired, we didn't get out of bed until close to 10am, and the clouds looked heavy, so we felt uninspired to climb.

The weather wasn't great, which seems to be the norm in this summer, but we were determined to get out and make the most of it. Andy and Angela had come to visit and I wanted to let them have a chance to see some great views, albeit through the Cumbrian mist...
An Alpine start, we got up extra early this morning to catch the 6.10am lift up to the Aiguille du Midi. Our plan was to climb Chere Gully on the Triangle du Tacul...
