Just to show that the mountains in the UK can be very dangerous places for the poorly equipped and ill trained we received bad news this morning of another body being found on Snowdon last night. Following a climbing accident which resulted in a bad injury the montain rescue were scrambled from Snowdonia and in attending the climber (who was air lifted to hospital) the team discovered the body of a climber which seems to have been there for at least a day.
On training in the Mountain centre at Plas Y Brenin I have been out in the thick of the weather for the last three days and although well equipped and with international mountain instructors event we were not venturing on to the high tops!
So many people leave home with the expectation of a great day out which can end in tragedy. The centre at Plas Y Brenin provides fantastic training facilities and great trainers. My refresher courses over this weekend have brought me into close copntact with the winter conditions of Snowdonia and they need to be very much respected!
