It's been great reading about & seeing what everyone else got up to on one weekend. I think it's something that we could have more of - a virtual scrapbook maybe.

I'm not saying Iwould have liked to have swapped my weekend for anyone else's, butg if I had to, I'd probably have Hamish's. Love the swing.

I quite liked my weekend, there's something astonishing about seeing familiar places with a new coat of snowy clothes and it always surprises me how Bleaklow suddenly looks arctic with a quick dump of snow.

I thought there were some lovely pictures there and thanks to everyone who took the time to send their stuff in. There are a few stragglers which I'll try to round up and add to the article when I have time :-)

I had hoped to contribute. Unfortunately we were snowed in at Portmadog and had no way to get to Snowdonia until 13:30, by that stage it was too late to do anything as we had to leave by 16:00.

The mountains looked fantastic, perhaps the best I've ever seen them. I took some roadside snaps but my heart wasn't in it.

Marcus' shot of Castell y Gwynt proves how good an opportunity was missed. I must have been just about the only person with crampons who had to simply drive past Pen-Y-Pass without setting a single foot on the hills. And that'll probably be it for this winter. :-((

Nice photos everyone.

I wouldn't have thought anyone would have wanted swap my weekend, i was only out for a couple of hours sunday afternoon after doing some food shopping, by which time it was all overcast, i even missed all the nice weather on saturday and the sunday morning :-(

my mother was up on Anglesey at the weekend, and it looks like the carneddu was the place to be for the most snow in snowdonia.

Wow! And there was me thinking I had a nice weekend. Spent Saturday at Stanange High Neb with some friends from college. Awesome conditions and managed my first severe leads. Snowy pics at

I'd have contributed, except my fun and games was last Weds/Thurs, not the weekend. Managed to skive off for some winter climbing in Cwm Idwal :)

Some fine pictures from peoples weekends, lets make a calander at some point from the gallery and use the proceeds to support some good cause .o)

I'm off to Snowdonia next week, hope the weather perks up... I may have missed all that lovely snow, but the weather looks foul on the Snowdon webcams at the moment.
