Such a beautiful day in Eryri (Snowdonia) today βοΈWe were able to make the most of it and climb Carnedd Llewelyn (which is only 21 metres shorter than Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon)! Our first mountain summit this year π
It's a stunning walk that starts with a thigh busting start up a steep access road up to the reservoir Ffynnon Llugwy. Then it's a climb up to the ridge, where we stopped for lunch with stunning views of the reservoir, Ogwen Valley and mountains beyond (see pic 5). After that is a bit of a scramble up rocks and then a wide path with rocks and scree that winds up to the peak of Carnedd Llewelyn, with views of Eryri's most prominent peaks (see pic 8, Yr Wyddfa is just left of centre).
We got to see lots of wildlife, but especially lucky to see the wild Carneddau ponies and we got so close to them today ππ
The best part of climbing this mountain, is the lack of crowds. Snowdon is the poster boy of North Wales, but there are so many other beautiful mountains to climb. π
