It's been a few weeks since I've managed to get out, and I'm in dire need to return to the mountains!

The plan is to reach Carnedd Llewelyn, the 2nd highest peak in Wales, standing at 1064 meters.
Setting off from the layby on the A5 at 8am, grid reference SH 6682 6052, https://maps.app.goo.gl/vVvtt17Ex8v3G3jT8
I plan to follow the Cambrian Way up Pen yr Ole Wen and Carnedd Dafydd until we reach Carnedd Llewelyn, where we will return via Pen yr Helgi Du to where we started.
The route is 16 km with just over 1000 meters of ascent and will take about 7 hours plus any breaks.

It's a steep, long hike up to the first peak, following which we should have some amazing views for the rest of the day.
I hopeful that there will be a break in the weather for next weekend, I'll keep an eye on the forcast and post any updates towards the ened of the week.
