Ogwen to Capel by Mike Peacock

After twisting my ankle on Monday, I had to cancel Tuesdays planned trip into Cwm Cneifion & todays plans for Idwal ice :-(
Hopefully get out again in the next few days....
Recieved the following email from Mike Peacock this evening. Thanks Mike.

Hi Andy,

I was out today (Thursday 2nd), but just walking. Ice is forming nicely, and the high crags look well rimed. I counted 9 people on Idwal Stream from across the valley. Even at low levels (300m) there is windslab about, so caution will be needed for the weekend.

Hope the ankle improves soon,

Cheers,

Mike
