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.
Nearly killed James....haaaaa. Picked up James straight from 12 hour night shift in Birmingham. Drove to Snowdonia (2.5 hrs) where he napped in the car. Parked near Ogwen Cottage and scrambled up Pen yr Ole Wen. On Dafydd James got cramps in his legs and we retreated from the hill. Cutting down from Dafydd by the side of the lake, over a million walls etc. This was James`s first mountain day with me. It`s amazing we are still a couple.
