The Carneddau (lit. "the cairns"; Carneddau is a Welsh plural form, and is sometimes anglicised to Carnedds) are a group of mountains in Snowdonia, Wales. They include the largest contiguous areas of high ground (over 2,500 or 3,000 feet (910 m) high) in Wales and England, as well as six or seven of the highest peaks in the country—the Fourteen Peaks. The range also encloses a number of lakes such as Llyn Cowlyd and Llyn Eigiau, and the Aber Falls waterfalls. It is delimited by the Irish Sea to the north, the Conwy valley to the east, and by the A5 road from Betws-y-Coed to Bethesda to the south and west. The area covers nearly 200 square kilometres, about 10% of the area of Snowdonia.
Started from the train station In Llanfairfechan and follwed the main path up to the base of yr Orsedd where I Turned off the path to traverse Yr Orsedd and Foel Ganol. Kept following the ridge down until I joined the main path then turned into the valley towards the reservoir where I found a campsite next to a sheep fold and set up camp. When It got dark, I continued up to llyn Anafon where I found some small features in the coire to the south east before continuing up onto Foel Fras. Finished with a traverse over Llwytmor coming down the north slope and crossing the river to arrive back at my tent. Very challenging conditions on the tops with high winds periods of drizzle and rain
