New Year Resolutions
New Year resolutions usually involve reflecting upon self-improvement; do more exercise, spend more time with the kids, lose weight, be more sociable….the list goes on.

You can keep a track of the survey work by visiting the GandJSurvey channel on YouTube. If you fancy having a go at climbing all 14 peaks the Snowdonia Society have put a great website…
