Craig y Mwn

 

 

Pistyll Rhaeadr. I parked at the near by tea shop

 

 

I took this one whilst balancing on some very slippery rocks

 

 

At 240m it's higher than Niagara falls

 

 

This is the path that takes you to the top of the waterfall

 

 

continuing up

 

 

Looking across to Glan Hafon

 

 

making my way down to the waterfall

 

 

good thing my boots are waterproof

 

 

following a path through the moor but not really sure where it leads

 

 

a look back

 

 

after checking the GPS I follow this track which should lead to Moel Sych

 

Cadair Idris way off in the distance. This is on my hit list

 

 

and the first view of the Cadair Berwyn Ridge

 

 

as you can see it started to get a bit colder

 

 

The summit cairn of Moel Sych

 

 

Looking ahead to Cadair Berwyn

 

 

Looking down from the Cadair Berwyn ridge to the tarn of Llyn Lluncaws

 

 

The highest summit of Cadair Berwyn

 

 

The forecasted rain isn't here yet

 

 

The valley to the left is my way back

 

 

frosty rocks

 

 

A nice large wind shelter

 

 

The Cadair Berwyn Trig point ahead

 

 

Just in time for lunch

 

 

The ridge path down to the tarn

 

 

Llyn Lluncaws

 

 

This path takes me all the way back down to Pistyll Rhaeadr

 

 

The familiar cliffs come into view

 

 

I'm nearly finished and its only 1pm

 

 

Last look up to today's summit
