A weekend in Snowdonia - Day 2

Sunday 27th May


Today Ronnie and i decided to take it easy, Ronnie had huge blisters and i had a bruised foot from twisting my ankle on Saturday morning. Ibuprofen all round and we set off up the climb directly behind the bunkhouse, its about 2000ft so we were warmed up by the time we arrived at Pen ye Ole Wen.

From here we went on to Carnedd Dafydd, Carnedd Llewelyn, Pen yr Helgi Du and Pen Llithrig y Wrach before the final descent down into Capul Curig.

 We took our time, stopping on each of the summits to chat with walkers and soak up the views. It not often you get the chance to do this in Snowdonia as the hills are usually shrouded in fog. 

9.5 miles, Ascent: c.4100ft, Time 4 & 1/2hrs.
