It’s great being on the west-facing slopes. but it has its disadvantages, and today is one of them. A small difference in wind direction and it rains on Snowdonia but not on us. As it is, it seems to be raining on us (and Snowdonia too I assume). It might clear up a bit I suppose.
It’s good to walk in the rain, though – the ways are quieter. The hard rocky landscape is softened by mist and a hill-clinging cloudbase. The only real snag is having to look at the scenery through damp glasses. You can be in more of a world of your own in the rain, and your thoughts can go anywhere. Not that mine went anywhere very interesting this morning, but there you go.
