First views of the Arans.

"Are you sure this is the path?"

One of the pleasant paths through the woods.

The summit of Arrenig Fawr finally clear as we descended towards Llangower.

The cascading Afon Glyn North west of Glyn Mawr.

Llangower Station at the end of the walk - train due at 16-40, but it didn't arrive on time, so we headed for home.

Walk stats: Distance: 10.2 miles. Climb: 1943'.

Time: 6 hours 46 minutes. On the move walking average: 1.9 m.p.h. Overall walk average: 1.5 m.p.h.

Group: Martyn and Roger.

We set off quite early from the Llangower Station Car Park and the paths seemed clearly waymarked. Some of the views over Llyn Tegid towards the Arrenigs were superb, but wisps of cloud lingered on the summit of Arrenig Fawr.

 Too early for lunch by the lake, we climbed through Ffridd fach-ddeiliog before having lunch.

 After lunch there was a dampness in the air that encouraged us to put waterproof on.

 Good views of the Arans were seen as we approached Cwm Glyn.

 Route find around Cwm Glyn between Ffridd Bach and cae'r hafotty required plenty of pondering over the map to decide the best way to go, and in places only having the GPS mapping got us out of jail!

 Probably are best view of Arrenig Mawr was seen as we descended on a green track toward Glyn Mawr.

 We reached the road near Cae-glas, and followed the road Northwards to Llangower and the start of our walk.

 We arrived back at the car having had good walk, with legs quite tired from the higher than usual climb and trekking across some quite boggy and challenging terrain.

 Birds seen or heard today included: Great tit, Carrion crow, Raven, Common buzzard, Wood nuthatch, European robin, Winter wren, Woodpigeon and Common buzzard.
