Description

This was my first linear route and such an amazing one too.
The weather was brilliant, a great day out with Kelly.
At the start of this walk, we had to arrange vehicles for the finish and the start of the walk.
Once at the start, we had a slog up Drysgol, en route I cooked us pancakes with my cooker and frying pan.
We'd bimbled quickly over to Aran Fawddwy (905 M)
We had come across a little black dog (named Trwm) who was wondering the mountains by himself.
After realizing he was traveling alone we called his owner and got the go-ahead to take him up Aran Benllyn (885M) and back down to Llanuwchllyn to reunite him with his family.
.
In return, Kelly and I received burgers and eggs from the farm ( Thank you Catrin). I can say that this was definitely one of my favorite mountain days to date and I'm really happy I've now discovered the Arans.

Area : Aran Range

Aran Fawddwy, which is only 9 metres (30 ft) short of being a member of the Welsh 3000s, is the highest peak in the Aran mountain range and the 16th highest summit in Wales. The other two Marilyns in this range are Glasgwm and Esgeiriau Gwynion.[4] It is the highest British mountain south of Snowdon and is the principal summit of the predominant southwest-northeast ridge between Dolgellau and Bala, southern Snowdonia, a ridge that continues westwards as Cadair Idris.
