Snowdonia Experiences - "Best thing I've ever done" moments
As weeks go, the recent week in Snowdonia was right up there! Simple plan - mate and I were to go as basic as possible, climb some mountains do some running and bivi down whenever and wherever the mood took us.

If you're aiming for 'Wilderness' a dead end road is a good start and if it has gates, all the better!

So first evening, we found some good UK wilderness on a plateau of snowdonia around 600 vertical metres. We hiked for a bit and then bivi'd down. Mr Wind was being a bit playful, though strangely enough, one of the better sheltered spots was atop a rocky outcrop, which provided spectacular views in almost every direction.

Come morning, Mr Wind had really got the bit between his teeth. We temporarily lost one roll mat and a water proof bag, but an intrepid 10 minute mission down hill and back up by my wilderness colleague, saw us retrieve that which we thought was lost.
Pack up was a challenge, but moods couldn't have been better. Huge appreciation of total contrast between 9-5 London and time doesn't matter wilderness. Love it!
