Winter Skills Course Recent Reviews
Diwrnod gwych hefo Smyrff yn neud Elidir Fawr yn yr eira. Great day summiting Elidir Fawr with Smyrff in the snow - wanted a bit more confidence and pointers from an experienced mountaineer in hiking in winter conditions, and the day proved perfect for that purpose. Smyrff himself was full on useful hints and tips, and gave me some pointers in when to use and alter techniques and gear to suit different conditions. Great company, and a all-round great day out on the mountain… woukd highly recommed. Diolch Smyrff.
