and there was more……….!!
snow that is, we awoke this morning to fabulous looking Tal-y-llyn with a nice covering of snow everywhere, it must have been 3 or 4 inches deep on the gatepost, I was lucky enough to be able to grab a few photographs before the early morning sun melted the snow away. I had a walk onto Dol Idris car park and was shocked to see so many people getting ready to ascend the Minffordd Path.
on another note i noticed this afternoon a chap jumped from the top of cader idris somehow as we saw him paragliding above Minffordd Hotel down into the dol idris car park area, that must be an amazing view and experience, i wasn’t quick enough with the camera unfortunately

The Snow Is Still Here In Tal-y-llyn
If you’re planning to climb cader during while the snow is down please please be careful……..!!
It snowed around 4 days ago heavy here in Tal-y-llyn, just for a few hours during the evening, looks great doesn’t it. The roads are nice and clear thanks to the council gritters we didn’t get much chaos on the roads, it hasn’t snowed since but as the temperature isn’t rising above freezing the snow just isn’t melting. I guess the weather is keeping some visitors away, but some folks are still going up Cader, what a wonderful site that must be, although the walk would be far more dangerous for the not so competent walkers.
This is the first time in around 9 years that i have seen Tal-y-llyn lake frozen over, as can been seen in my photos.
