Description

Started at grid SH 691 603. Headed North up over Y Braich and carried on North to Carnedd Llywelyn. From here I headed South West to Carnedd Dafydd. Along through Carnedd Fach and then down Pen yr Ole Wen to Pont Pen-y-benglog. Hiked along the Northern side of Llyn Ogwen, crossed the A5 and walked along Nant y benglog back to the start of the route. The weather was ok. Visibility was not so good at the top and made navigation more of a challenge.

Area : Carneddau

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.
