Climb every Mountain- Yr Aran & Yr Wyddfa ( Snowdon)

The waters of Llyn Cwellyn rose through the early moring mist on route to Rhyd Du. Nineteen members made the journey, a brisk start and a steady climb to the coll of Bwlch cwm Llan, on to Y Geuallt and the summit of Yr Aran at 747m, where visability was quite good. Returning to the coll and climbing steadily to Allt Maenderyn at 704m, and the arete of Bwlch Main and to the summit of Yr Wyddfa ( Snowdon ) at 1085m. Not the usual crowds as the train was not yet running, clear to Y Lliwedd - but Crib Goch not visible. The temperature on teh summit was really mild with no wind. Our descent followed Bwlch Main to join the Rhyd Du path to our start point, 9.6miles and 7 hours walking. A thank you to Nigel for taking us up Yr Aran , one of the quiet Snowdonia summits, and to Snowdon itself on a warm spring like day.
