Every year we walk to the top of Pen y Fan to see the first sunrise of the year, Some years are good others not so good. To-day was Not So Good.

That does look really unpleasant Mate. Look at the postures of those guys it just says cold and damp and 'orrible!
The dog is not looking too impressed either. Well done to you maniacs for making the effort. Shame mother nature was not in a good mood that day.

Yes it was a bit unpleasant, the one in the middle is my wife (not sure what she was doing) the other two were caving friends they were both putting cameras away. The dog was not too impressed with us, but she warmed up when we started walking again. Then in just over a hour I took the other picture New Years Day reflections
Just shows how the weather can change in the mountains.
