Mt Snowdon.

I managed to capture the great mountain completely free of cloud yesterday!
You don't very often see it as clear as this ....even in the summer!

Lucky you, Ruth! As you say, it is so often shrouded in mist and low cloud.

Being totally ignorant....which side is that taken from? The last time I was there was about 1966!!!!

Thanks Pam.......it was a bit cooler when we were there at the w/end,in fact there was still snow lying in places........wonderful to be there though!

Looks like you had a lovely day Ruth, and very lucky with the weather!

I've got a feeling your picture is of Moel Siabod though, not Snowdon (sorry if I'm wrong!). Snowdon is the next one over and is surrounded by lots of other peaks, so you weren't far off!

Both are lovely mountains, and Siabod usually has less cloud on it as well being that little bit lower...I climbed it last year for charity and it's lovely, much less busy than its famous neighbour

Am very jealous I don't live nearer, think I'm at the wrong end of Wales for dramatic mountains!

A lovely view whichever mountain it is! I am sure it must have been even lovelier to be there taking the photo! Thanks for sharing your super scenic pic, Ruth!

Oooooops! Thanks for putting me right Nicola.......we were sure it was Snowdon!
Glad you liked the scenic pic anyway Pam!

[NicolaB]

Siabod is far more photogenic than Snowdon anyway...and actually looks a lot more dramatic as it isn't cluttered up by other mountains

There are some pictures of both mountains on here..
