Foel Ganol - Mountain Walking

It's been great to be back up in the mountains with a group of students today. I'm leading an overseas mountaineering expedition with them next year and today was my first time meeting the group. After an introductory chat over a cup of tea, we made a quick ascent of Foel Ganol above the North Wales coastline. I'd chosen this peak due to time constraints and the incoming poor weather.

It was really windy up on the ridgeline, but the apart from a few spots, the rain held off until we were back at base. Usually, there are great views from the tops, but it was so hazy today that we could barely see across to Anglesey.

There are always wild ponies about here and plenty of sheep grazing too. There is also the craziest/most artistic sheep pen stone wall area. It seems that they were not ones for straight lines those old sheep farmers!
