Took in a circuit of Carnedd y Filiast, Myndd Perfedd and Elidir Fawr today. It was a bright morning across Snowdonia, but there was a covering of high level clouds that were well above the summits until just after midday, when some heavy showers moved in. We were moving light and fast, but not fast enough to outrun the first downpour - so got a bit damp without full waterproofs on the way down Elidr Fawr!
A great circuit with beautiful views (until the rain arrived!) and stretch of the legs after a few days of rock climbing. However, it was a bit of a spoiler, as well as a big surprise to find that someone has marked the path with red paint!? Although this is a fairly common sight along footpaths in the Alps, I've (thankfully) never seen this in the UK. Very bizzare, upsetting and un-necessary graffati. Does anyone know about this?...

Away from the upland vandalism, Carnedd y Filiast gives a stunning panorama of the Snowdonia National Park, as well as views across Anglesey and as far as the Rivals on the Lleyn peninsula and the Great Orme over in the East. And even today, on a Bank Holiday Sunday, the mountain was more or less our own...
