Wales - 2014
27 September 2014 ........... Carnedd Filiast
A rather dull and damp morning, then suddenly the weather improved, and the sun came out, and the northern end of Snowdonia was looking good.
So I grabbed a quick lunch, then headed across to Deiniolen and went for a quickie up Carnedd Filiast.
It is a quick walk up to the summit, and because it is quite isolated out on the edge of the Glyders, it has some good views.
A good view looking across to the southern end of the Carneddau - Yr Elen, Carnedd Llewelyn, Carnedd Dafydd, and of course the huge cliffs leading up to Penyr Ole Wen
The rest of the Glyders were also looking good, here is a wider view that shows the whole way around from Mynydd Perfedd, the fascinating triangular shape of Foel-goch, up to Y Garn, then Glyder Fawr, Glyder Fâch, and finally Tryfan.
Here is a bit of a tighter view that highlights Tryfan, Glyder Fâch, and the ridge Y Gribin which provides such a handy route back down.
Right in the middle of the picture is the coll between Tryfan and Glyder Fâch, and Bristly Ridge, the steep ridge up to Glyder Fâch.
And just because it is such an amazing mountain, here is a closer view of Tryfan, with its amazing north ridge.
The Snowdon block was still in the grey murk, so doesn`t come out so well - but despite that, it is still an impressive sight, with Crib Goch and Garnedd Ugain dominating the skyline.
Looking over across the reservoir to Elididr Fawr, with a hint of the Lleyn Peninsula in the background.
A long focus view looking right down the Lleyn Peninsula - I wish I could work out which mountain is which down there - I think that the furthest away mountains that dominate the skyline is Yr Eifl, and the nearer and more jaggy and slightly lower peak this side of it is Bwlch Mawr.
Yr Eifl is 564 metres high, and Bwlch Mawr is 509 metres high, so that fits in with the previous paragraph.
It was quite grey down that way, but I still love it as a view.
Finally, back to the sunshine on Anglesey - Penmon and Puffin Island.
