It wasn't that hard really, I was hoping to do a mixed climb but my mate wasn't up for it! Though I'll probably need a different camera if I'm climbing mixed. Probably the fuji x10 but that's off topic here so I shall leave it here!
I'd imagine if you manage to get on the Watkins path or Rhyd ddu path to Snowdon you'd get some pretty amazing shots, if the skies behave! A gloomy day gives it a more realistic mountainy impression, rather than the colourful playground with bright blue skies!

Took the 18-55WR kit lens so I can fully abuse it against the elements!

Can't remember the name of these fells!

Striding edge - spot the people.

Not sure when will I get another mountain day out like this!
Some of the pictures had a big layer of mist on them (didn't process, deleted.) I'm guessing it's due to the weather, or maybe my filter got really dirty!

They're normally fast at answering emails too but if you want something that urgently, the phone is certainly the way forward. Get up early and ring them around opening hours.
Hope you get it!
Happy new year.

As far as I know it's possible to get it on monday if you don't miss the cut off on saturday. Might incur extra for postage, but if you're willing to shell out a couple quid I can't see it being a major problem with a bit of luck.

I believe there's one going at SRS if that helps but it's for £229.

Well, when you're 100% healthy again maybe you can consider the Carneddaus too! On a clear day you get views towards Ogwen as well as Snowdon!
If all fails, Nantlle should provide something at the lower levels
