The North Face

I was invited along to document a two day event in the beautiful landscape of the Ogwen Valley in Snowdonia. Along with around sixty other outdoor enthusiasts I arrived at the mini-festival site and promptly turned off my phone as instructed; the emphasis of the weekend was to disconnect from technology and experience nature and the company of others. After pitching my tent, I headed off on the a group hike which took us along the Heather Terrace, around the back of Tryfan and back down to camp via Llyn Bochlwyd. In the evening we a series of talks and presentations, along with some amazing street food and great local ale. It was really refreshing getting away and experiencing the outdoors without distraction – socialising, meeting new people, appreciating the peace and enjoying ourselves late into the night.
