Roadtripping Madness...

Day 4, Llyn Gwynant, Wales... I'm sitting in a giant chair overlooking Lake Gwynant and looking at the valley fall into darkness while the sun sets behind it. Despite being attacked by midges and that occasional sound of a hidden car, nothing could be wrong with this setting. I love the dear simplicity of this place, knowing I have to leave here with so much still unexplored gives me a heavy heart.
Climbing Snowden I had the sensation of just how amazing God's creation is, and how clarity of mind can come from a few breathtaking mountains. I want to continue exploring despite my heavy and weary limbs. I will return to this place or one very much like it one day, and I pray God's beauty will still be shown here-even if, amazingly, it is only a fraction of his beauty.
Snowden was glorious, gloriously painful but the view was sublime. No photo can do it justice and no words can fully describe it. Seeing it made me long for heaven all the more and the idea that it will be far more spectacular is just crazy!
I learnt surprisingly a lot over this roadtrip, it reaffirmed that God is an incredibly talented and beautiful creator. It made me unbelievable grateful for all that He's done and it made me realise how shamefully I don't thank him enough.
I can't tell you how good God is and how amazing He really is, because just like those mountain views, no words can possibly describe Him!
