We started at Aber, past the falls, up around Drosgl, past Bera Bach, across the summit plateau of Garnedd Uchaf and up onto Foel Fras. Coming back down over Drum, Pen Bryn-Du, Yr Orsedd, and Foel Ganol. In all approximately 19km, the conditions as you will see from the photographs were almost arctic on the top of Foel Fras.... but a great day!
Starting point next to the Afon Rhaeadr at Aber

Aber Falls

Reaching the snow line on the lower slopes of Drosgl

A wintry white out ahead up on Garnedd Uchaf

was like sitting in the freezer!

Rather cold!!

Sharon bravely soldiers on

As does Holly

Frozen ladder stile as we approach Foel Fras

The wall is in there somewhere!

Foel Fras

Heading back down to Drum, Llyn Anafon below

A rather cold coffee stop on Drum, it was that cold the coffee had even gone cold in the flask!!

Myself on Pen Bryn-Du, my lens still suffering from a dip in the snow on Foel Fras!

We eventually came across some of the ponies the Carneddau are famous for, they were beauties





Sharon and Holly


And back where we started next to the Afon Rhaeadr at Aber
