The reasonably reliable met office Mountain weather forecasts got it wrong - Snowdonia was due to be "Sunny in the morning with clouds building up as the day progresses, at 900m: light winds 10-15mph at cloudbase above the summits".
Well it wasn't - cloudy all day and by 17:00 nasty black clouds on all the high tops, at 600m on the Rhinogs it was so windy I had to kneel down to take steady photographs.
4 Summits visited: Y Garn, Foel Penolau and Moel Ysgyfarnogod - all in the Rhinogs and Moel Penamnen north of Ffestiniog. Foel Penolou has a cool summit - all rock blocks - and eroding very fast - lots of recent rock falls (judging by the difference in colour of the newly exposed faces) and almost every rock you stand on 'wobbles'
