HALF TERM.........
......February 1975 we drove up to North Wales for a few days, first time for Jacquelyn, slept in the van, ice inside in the mornings. We trekked up one of the Snowdon paths and got about half way to the summit, Jacquelyn in her blue wellington boots she had bought for the trip-not ideal footwear !. Meeting a chap on his way down the mountain we were advised of the icy conditions above, with that and the lateness of the hour we made our way down, even so, a good outing followed by hot food in some eatery; lunch at our high point had included a tin of cold sardines. Not sure what else we did, drove around the mountain roads and sights. Back to London was through Mid-Wales, deserted roads in dramatic landscapes arriving about 2am the next day. The first of countless expeditions we made together, usually with better accommodation.
