I had a piece of yew to make a handle for a small knife I'd forged from a piece of car coil spring and couldn't believe how tough a wood it was, it was easier to shape using a flap wheel on the angle grinder than with a chisel !Yew, a softwood but one of the hardest, loved turning yew…
Nice one, looks like you were lucky with the weather and visibility. Despite living in Wales for 20 years I've never been up Snowdon, and now never will be since they changed its name to Yr WyddfaSummit of Snowdon. Up via the Pyg track and down via the Miner's track. Very windy but mostly dry.

Yes, visibility was generally excellent with the summit only occasionally vanishing in low cloud. Probably as clear as I've seen it on many previous hikes up. Could see accros the Menai Stairs and the whole of Anglesey, the whole of the Llyn Peninsula and all accoss North Wales. Too cold and windy to linger long at the top though!Nice one, looks like you were lucky with the weather and visibility.
Cafe still closed and the rack railway also not running, so quiet at the top. No need to queue for the obligatory selfies on the trig point!You were lucky with Snowden weather wise. I have done that route in both directions a couple of times.
On one occasion the weather forecast was looking good but the wind changed direction and tried to blow us off the top. Next visit the weather was clear but the area around the top was packed and you couldn’t get near the cafe.
Sadly it’s not a place to go in the summer. I watched a line of people stretching from the PYG car park as far as I could see.
Who else counted the handsCafe still closed and the rack railway also not running, so quiet at the top. No need to queue for the obligatory selfies on the trig point!
We've been up before when it's an absolute bun fight.
