Snowdon climbed

We did 3h40m on snowdon which we thought was pretty good for us. We were the 9th boat to arrive at caernarfon and the 4th to leave after the run. The time we gained is probably not important as all the boats are likely to get caught by the tide at the swellies and the race will effectively restart.
The conditions on the hill were really great. We started along the road just before dawn and started up the hill in the cool of the morning. As we were approaching the summit we saw the sun glinting off the upper slopes of the mountain's east face. On the run down we had a cloud inversion so there were blue skies above us and there was a blanket of fluffy white clouds beneath us. There are really special conditions.
The run back along the road from llanberis was a drag as ever but we showed good courage and stodged out the miles. A disappointment was that our water stash that we had preplaced on the road to caernarfon was no longer there. Our run back was thus quite thirsty.
We are now battling against the tide in the menai straits. This might take some time!
