Walking’s about all I can manage at the moment, although when a walk is this good it’s hard to complain. A short-notice collection of James from his house saw us driving through to Ogwen for a snowy traverse of the Glyderau.

We followed a tried-and-tested route up the Kitchen and then across to the Miner’s Path. The snow was deep and powdery on the leeward slopes, including the steep climb up from Llyn y Cŵn, but not deep enough to cover the rocks across the top.

After skirting Castell y Gwynt we found a protruding rock above Glyder Fach main cliff that I’d never noticed before. It’s quite conspicuous, so I don’t really know how I’d missed it, particularly since you can see it quite clearly silhouetted on the skyline when you stand in the car park by the brew shack.

Anyway, we wavered slightly at Bwlch Tryfan about whether should ‘nip’ up to the summit, but decided against it given that we were both already a bit knackered! So back down for a cup of tea and a pasty, and a lovely day ticked off. Thanks James!
