Description

Y Lliwedd from the Watkin Path. With Reg & Nanw. Took full winter gear in the hope that there might be snow on the summits, but there was not much except for some sporadic ice on the paths. So after gaining the main ridge of Y Lliwedd by cutting off the corner up a scree slope, the dogs and I headed onward, then descended to the abandoned mine works. After a bit of an exploration, we returned via Cwm Merch.
