We head off to Prysgau bothy in the Elan valley for a wonderful, warm , fireside night blissfully unaware off the snowstorm brewing outside. The fun starts the next morning as we try to make our way back to the car in driving snow and 3-4ft drifts . Exhaustion takes hold and we are forced to emergency pitch in 3ft of fresh snow which shows no sign of stoppng. Although the equipment did us proud we made a good few errors on this one. The first was heading out in the first place.Hindsight is a wonderful thing but forward planning is imperative . Lesson learned!
