Lots of snow at Rhosydd Quarry
Good hike to get up to Rhosydd Quarry, sketchy on the way down, but well worth it. In places the snow was knee deep here

Rhosydd Barracks
The long abandoned Barracks and Mill buildings of Rhosydd Quarry in the Moelwyn mountains of North Wales on a changeable day last September. A break in the heavy cloud allowed a burst of sunlight through that lit up the shiny slate rubble to make it look a bit like water. The dark buildings stood out against the lower slopes of Foel Ddu. The history of the place is described well on Wikipedia - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhosydd_quarry" rel="noreferrer nofollow en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhosydd_quarry , and here - historypoints.org/index.php?page=rhosydd-quarry-barracks-and-mills-near-tanygrisiau" rel="noreferrer nofollow historypoints.org/index.php?page=rhosydd-quarry-barracks-... . It i fair to say this must have been a hard place to work!
