I
wouldn't have attempted this by myself and therefore appreciated the
opportunity to be 'led' by Will, a strong and experienced walker in
the Snowdonia terrain.
We
had a weather 'window' on the day and the three of us with Tony
driving sped over to the visitors car park at Llyn Ogwen. This
was a totally new area to me and what a delight I had in store.
Overall,
I think we covered about 9+km (6 miles) though climbed – and
descended – a majestic 1020m (3280 feet).
Setting off with the mist on the tops – heading for the gap

Yes, we climb up to the left, through the rock and scree

Looking back, down the valley
Audlem Ramblers
On top of Wales! The cantilever rock
Looking across to Snowdon
Wonderful views!
Heading down – over the edge?!
A final view, back up to the horseshoe route – to Y Garn
We
walked the three tops of Glyder Fach, Glyder Fawr and Y Garn, all
over 3000ft, with Glyder Fawr at an awesome 1001m (3284ft).
Just
wonderful! Although I am rather stiff this morning!
