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.
A day of learning for me and good hands on experience in managing a `client`. During the descent, Sacha became fatigued. She slowed down and was becoming cold and shivering. I recognized the deterioration in her ability and confidence, so i had to persuade her to get as much energy intake as possible along with some water and assisted her walking to keep her moving. Once the mars bar kicked in, she was flying!
