Waterfalls at Betsw-y-coed…..

Llyn Fynnon was one of the top high lights for this tour…..We just did not want to leave despite the long steep climb to bring supplies. Being approx. 2.5 miles from the main road and set at the start of a climb to reach Carnedd Llewlyn……. it was a perfect place to explore and to finish climbing the Welsh 3000 ft mountains…..

There are no words that can adequately describe the sublime beauty and grandeur of the mountains of North Wales

…..Carn on Carnedd Dafydd……

……On the way up Pen yr Ole Wen……this was the fairly steep and direct route starting from our wild camp just under Tryfan…….we paused to look back…..

……and still on the way up…..

…..almost at the top, and here are some panorama’s from Pen yr Ole Wen looking towards Carnedd Dafydd…..

Tryfan…..

Wild camp under Tryfan……

On our way to the Ogwen Valley to climb Tryfan. Another terrific bike ride…..

Yes all 16. We split this project into 4 sections, with three wild camps. The first section would include Yr Wyddf, Crib-y-Ddysgl and Crib Goch . The next section included Elidr Fawr, Y Garn, Glyder Fawr, Castell y Gwynt and Glydr Fach. For these two sections we based ourselves for a couple of nights at a favorite campsite in Nant Perris, and then  little ways up Llanberris pass wild camping. Here’s where we camped…..

Yr Wyddfa 1.085 meters

Crib-y-Ddysgl 1.065 meters

Crib Goch 923 meters

Elidr Fawr 924 meters

On the ridge heading towards Y Garn

Y Garn 947 meters

On our way to Glyder Fawr

Glyder Fawr 1001 meters

exploring the rocky outcrops on Castell y Gwynt 972 meters and Glyder Fach 994 meters

….after the Glyder range we moved camp cycling through Bethesda and up into the Ogwen Valley. This was  a stunning place, we camped in the mountains under the slopes of Tryfan…..it was spectacular, the weather continued to be wonderful, blue skies and hot, with just  hint of mist at times. We wild camped here for 5 nights…it was just too spectacular to move…..

To be continued…..
