Snowdonia trip - May 2013

This was an early spring trip to explore some of the mountainous area of northern Snowdonia.
We started at the well-known Pen-y-benglog site, where we had visited before when we climbed Tryfan five years previously, and then walked up to Carnedd Llewelyn (1064m) which is virtually the same height as Snowdon, before bearing east and arcing round to meet the A5.  It was a ten mile hike with great views, especially of Tryfan, setting off at noon and arriving back at the car just before sunset. We camped that night at the camp-site close to Lake Ogwen.
