Above the clouds on Moel Siabod

The mountain weather forecasters played a blinder on this day, forecasting there could be an inversion around the higher hills of North Wales,. That was despite there being high winds, normally I have only experienced inversions when the conditions were still. So I set off early, climbing up the slopes of Moel Siabod through cold, dense fog that was being blown around quite a lot, so not exactly pleasant walking conditions. It was only when I got quite close to the summit that the predictions proved correct and fleetingly I walk out through the top of the cloud. It was a real treat to see the cloud blowing around below me, swirling around in the stiff breeze. This was the sight at the summit Trig point, looking south east across a boiling sea of cloud.
