| Pair go up Snowdon in panto horse : Two friends have dressed as a pantomime horse to climb the tallest mountain in Wales and England.
Wind howled and the rain poured down as Peter Phennah and Rob Snellgrove gamely trotted up Snowdon's 1,085m (3,560ft).
But the 18-year-olds, from the Wrexham area, made it and raised money for a trip to help rebuild an area of northern Morocco hit by an earthquake.
"We met lots of walkers who were very surprised to encounter a mountaineering pantomime horse," said Rob.
The journey took several gruelling hours in the outfit hired from a local pub, with the two friends taking it in turns to be the back and front of the horse.

"I don't think we could have chosen a worse day to do our challenge, because it was raining pretty much all the time we were on the mountain, and the wind was strong too," said Rob.
They were fed and watered by friends who accompanied them carrying their provisions.
Rob who is from the village of Hope, and is considering going to university after completing A-levels, said other walkers were bemused and amused to come across them, "although most of them commented that we must have been mad".

| Row over plans to axe six schools : Parents and governors have vowed to fight the closure proposals
A farming leader claims rural communities in Powys will be damaged if a council presses ahead with plans to close six small schools.
Farmers' Union of Wales (FUW) president Gareth Vaughan said they were the "focal point of village life".
Powys Council described the comments as "misguided and unhelpful", and said it could not safeguard the past.
Six schools are facing closure after a council review found that there were more than 4,000 surplus primary places.
A Powys Council spokesman said the authority had to provide a service "fit for the 21st Century".
He added: "Farming union claims that closing small schools will damage rural communities are misguided and unhelpful.
"Regrettably, the FUW is focussing on bricks and mortar, physical locations and not on quality of education and a fair distribution of resources across the county.
"Unless we tackle the problem of surplus school places we will be wasting millions of pounds that could be re-invested in education."
The FUW has urged the Welsh Assembly Government to prevent the closure of schools in Carno, Llanwddyn, Llangurig, Howey, Llanfihangel and Pontneathvaughan
