SnowdonOur "Summer School" trip to Snowdon turned out to be a tad more dangerous than we had anticipated. Near the top, heavy fog descended and we lost our way; either that, or we students and two inexperienced teachers thought we could do better than stick to the path. Either way, it doesn't matter.
We found ourselves scrambling over loose slate in grey fog with low visibility. Through a gap, we saw another party above us on the slope, rather better equipped then we were. Consider this: everyone was wearing jackets, jeans and trainers. The people we saw were wearing luminous yellow macs, backpacks, everything, so we thought it would be a better idea to follow them.
I recall they weren't too impressed with us. When we got to them, we looked down the slope and through a gap in the mist, we saw that just a few feet below us was a drop of several hundred feet. Just one slip and all that slate would have carried us over the edge...
Sometimes I wish it had.
