After a cold pre-dawn walk up to Llyn Llydaw (a lake in Snowdonia, North Wales), I positioned myself at a small frozen pool I had found when scouting the area the afternoon before. Then it was a simple case of setting up and waiting for the light. To be honest, the mass of cloud to the east meant I wasn’t really expecting anything, but you sometimes have to hope; and just for a few minutes, the first light of the day broke through the clouds and illuminated the peaks.
Think it was worth the walk in the end.
