Description

Parked at the viewpoint at SH 658 542. Headed down the western side of the A498 past Llyn Gwynant. At Nantgwynant I pushed up North West to Bwlch cwm llan around Yr Aran on to the summit of Craig Wen. From here I dropped down off the high ground to Beddgelert to cross to the other side of the valley and headed back North East keeping below the snow line until I pushed up onto the summit Moel Meirch. Returned back down the same way as conditions were extremely poor. Pushed through the woodlnads back to Llyn Gwynant and back up to the car park.
