I sympathise with you about "...being in the right place at the wrong time all too often!". Many times I've been up Snowdon and have only been able to see a few feet in front of me, though Pen Y Fan has given some superb views in the past. One question: do you have issues with the batteries in your camera at such cold temperatures? When I've taken my kit out walking I've charged it prior to leaving and while my batteries may be past their best, the battery indicator is often flashing at me after just a few shots. As a precaution I tend to remove them and keep them in my pocket to try and get a bit more life out of them! Cheers, Mark I love scenes like this, but rarely get the chance to be in such fantastic locations so early in the morning.
