Mountain climbing in Trefyn, Wales

Sunday 25th June 2006
It was an early start for us - we set off from Manchester at 8.30am to go to Trefyn in Snowdonia National Park Our mountain guide Mike had a challenging route planned for us. Little did we know waht was in store for us...

"Peanut butter!"


















These two rocks are known as Adam and Eve.
Legend has it is if you jump over them you will get married
within 5 years. Listen out for them wedding bells!













In total it took us 5 hours - the route was a mix of scrambling, climbing and walking. It was a truly great experience!


Afterwards we found a pub in Bangor and watched England beat Ecuador 1-0 in the World Cup. Beckham with a trademark free-kick!
