Here in North Wales it has been snowing some part of every day for the last week 12 days or so. There has been a permanent snowline above 2800-3000 ft for nearly as long.

Must be City folk :roll:

I've spent most of the week on the mountains around Snowdon doing a Mountain Leader course.  As 6 experienced adults with a highly qualified International Mountain Leader instructor and with full equipment, we steered clear of the high ground because of the safety risks associated with snow and ice, not to mention that it was pretty bloody foul up there.  There's always much debate on the pros and cons of letting the underinformed public loose on the mountains!

Just got off the phone to a relative who's in the Llanberis mountain rescue group.  He wasn't on this one himself, but apparently the 2-year-old was unconscious when they picked the group up...

Its amazing how stupid people can be  :roll:

I walked up snowdon over christmas. Even then when there had only been a dusting of snow it was still incredibly cold once you got into the open and the wind hit you, and thats with sensible clothing on too.

Even though it was a busy day we still took all the sensible emergency/safety kit with us and made sure we wernt going to be walking in the dark.

I feel far too sensible when i hear about people like those in the article!

Karen696:
I am still trying to believe that someone would do that?  Do they really hate their kids that much?

Or are they just stupid?  They are lucky that the mountain rescue people did such a great job in rescuing their dumb asses!
