Nice day for a mountain walk! The weather was due to deteriorate in the afternoon, but the day started beautifully. We'd not been up into the southern Carneddeau for a while, so hiked up to Pen yr Helgi Du from the A5 near Tryfan, by heading straight up the service road, which although steep, soon gets you up into the hills.

The last little scramble up to the summit is short lived, but steep. Unfortunately, the clouds were beginning to descend as we arrived on top

It's a great ridge walk across to nearby Pen Llithrig y Wrach and even though the views came and went, it was worth the extra effort to get the views down to Llyn Cowlyd Reservoir. Four hours later we were back at the car, and zipping back to The Cottage feeling suitably refreshed and tired in equal parts.
